Up...


...and prepping and uploading new albums to Bandcamp - Creek's 18th session, from 1998, out on Thursday and the second volume of Capital Models' 2011 reunion recordings, out on Wednesday...


People on Twitter/BlueSky commenting on how thin early 70s pressings were due to the "oil crisis"...

My copies are fine, if a little scratchy...




The morning spent working on Whitby...

Post lunch, out and over with Anne to her mum's...


Here she comes...



Coffee, biscuits, sweets and dominoes ensued...



And a question as to why it was I have to ears...


Hmmm...

Out tonight for Abbie's 30th...

A walk down the hill, a bus to Haymarket...


...a tram to Leith and in, to the Leith Distillery, upstairs...


We were not allowed to go downstairs for drinks but had to have them brought up...

There was an unannounced 12% "discretionary" service charge on all the drinks - this was soon removed...

The surroundings were nice but the hassles with the "rules", changes to our allotted time in the space and hassles too re some of the staff, led to discounts being given...

Anyway, a few drinks were enjoyed...



...along with tasty provisions...






...and a splendid cake...




Good to catch up with the extended family...


















We left around 11, just after Bob, Jane and Kitty...


Eighty minutes between this, outside the place...


...and this at Crispycat Towers...


To bed just before 1...

Highlight of the Day: Party...
