Writing this...

Under good skies...

On Bluesky, a group discovered, #CDFriday...

Following new people...

To compiling a list of 12 CDs, one from each of the last 12 months...

Last December - a BBC disc from the British Heart Foundation...

January, John Lemke from Missing in Glasgow...

February, Melanie de Biasio from the wee record shop down the road...

March, Future Jazz from Norway, from the St Columba's Hospice shop in Canonmills...

April, Bill Frisell, from Shelter at Stockbridge...

May, this collection of good stuff from 2023, from Fopp...

June, Barry White, from a stall at the Meadows Festival...

July, Lisa Hannigan from the big BHF place over in Niddrie...

August, some Oboe Concertos from the excellent CD and book shop in Potsdam...

September, a Lee Scratch Perry comp from Lost Things, in Madrid...

October, a tasty jazz CD from Dutchman Yuri Honing, again from St Columba's in Canonmills...

...and, finally, for this month, Mitsuko Uchida playing Debussy, from the Red Cross shop in Whitby...

Then, the task of actually finding those CDs - while the last four were still on the shelf i the living room, locating some of the others was a struggle - hmmm, some filing anomalies to be sorted out methinks...

Finally, taking a pic...

Posting it to Bluesky...

This is how I waste my time...

Also, a discussion re storing CDs in plastic sleeves...

These, mine...

Breakfast...

Almost a soufflé...

Into town with Annie - selling a broken gold bracelet to go towards work on inherited ring...

Pitted the two ladies in the shop against each other and took the higher offer, while Anne set off to pick up the ring...

Then, I popped into Fopp...

This, seen and sent to nephew Craig, a fan...

I did not partake but, I did, of these...

Alice Cooper...

Cat Stevens...

John Coltrane...

King Crimson...

Simple Minds...

Max Richter...

Anne met me in Fopp - ring secured - looking good - apparently the work on it cost more than £9.99...

Back to the car...

Out to Loanhead...

To Sainsbury - stealing some boxes - these the leftovers post work below...

Then, Anne to Dunelm re unpictured new cushions, and to Next re a new unpictured, sparkly Xmas top...

To mum's house...

Sorting stuff to take to the auction place in Rosewell on Tuesday...

In all, 12 boxes of "stuff", 3 sets of tables, 3 lamps, 2 “paintings”, 4 tennis racquets, another table, a very small footstool, a fan and a TV stand...

We'll see...

Crisp and sandwiches on site for lunch...

Home...

An afternoon of ripping and listening...

Tea from Wongs with Morpeth wine...

"Strictly" for Anne...

Music listening for me...

Fell asleep...

To bed at midnight...

A reasonable day...
