Up...

...to the sounds of yesterday's work...

Still very cold...

Set Fripp whirring again...

...and uploaded both "Strand" and "Gould" to Bandcamp, for release in the summer...

Then, sans breakfast, out with Anne to Loanhead and the last remains of mum's furniture exited the house...

Sheila and Andrew arrived to take some other stuff away...

Meanwhile, pics taken of things possibly for auction...

Later, at Rosewell, these the verdicts...

No...

No...

Oh yes...

Oh yes...

Yes...

Yes...

Yes...

Nope...

Yes..

Yes...

Interested in taking a look at the last remains of Pam's jewellery...

No...

No...

No...

No...

No...

Yes indeed...

Nope...

Nope - even though these are "nines" dominoes...

No interest in any of the religious books, most of which were gifted to various members of the family...

Oooft, there was some indoctrination going on...

This the only non-religious item left...

Presented to my dad when we moved from Clarkston to Paisley...

I brought these three home - a bible gifted to my mum's father in 1899, a bible given to me at Sunday School as a prize for bible knowledge - sister Pam won the same prize three years later - sister Sheila ought to have won too but my dad was one of the judges that year and engineered her coming second...

Lastly, the bible used at my mum and dad's wedding on 4 April 1955...

The dining room was cleared at last...

Later today, nephew Ali's man, Stasi, would take all this away...

Up to Rosewell to receive the opinions above - we have a few things in the next auction on Thursday...

To Bonnyrigg for breakfast...

Coffees were top...

Thought I was doing well avoiding rolls by ordering a mushroom omelette...

Hmmm...

Anne helped me with the chips but this meant our planned lunch later at Bar Napoli was cancelled...

Tasty nonetheless...

One other lapse today, one Cadbury Chocolate Eclair sweet this evening...

Tried to take the books in the boot of the car to Till's bookshop but closed...

Despite any value - and there may well have been a reasonable amount - I donated them instead to the Bethany Christian Trust, along with my dad's cassettes...

A quick trip home to leave the car then a bus back to Princes St and to the National Gallery for an entertaining and enlightening talk on Rembrandt in the Theatre...

Out an hour later and...

...back home in the cold...

...for the lunch that took the place of a probably nicer lunch but which was still good...

Ripping and listening to this, £2 in the Bethany shop, still sealed...

A Capella music from the early 5th Century to the 13th Century.  Nice…

"A Place in the Country" watched - a recap where, very unusually, the people had actually bought one of the properties they'd been shown...

Arrangements for surveyor and photographers set in motion re mum's house...

Fripp had whirred for the entire day and continued to do so - in all, by the close, a further 16 hours of Frippertonics transferred in real time from BluRay to hard drive...

...with a further 22 hours still to do...

"Silent Witness" watched - new series - just as preposterous as all previous series...

Tasty chili for tea - with the added bonus of a couple of drops of extra hot chili sauce received at Xmas...

Season seven of "Bosch" commenced and episode two of the two parter "Silent Witness" also enjoyed, despite myriad nitpicks...

Forgot to record the podcast...

One for tomorrow...

Highlight of the Day : Clearance...
