So much music, so little time...

Today's listening was sourced from these...

A huge playlist today because...

(a) I bought some CDs

(b) I downloaded loads of new releases (and some back catalogue stuff) and...

(c) on my phone I had my 58 LPs of the Day (i.e. so far) for 2025 on shuffleplay when I was out and about and this evening when not watching TV...

And that's February away, already...

Morning scenes...

Almost 8 hours' sleep again...

Blurry watch still going...

The view from the office...

Let the games begin...

Friday, one of the best days of the week...

As I gathered in and sampled today's new releases, Anne was off to Zumba...

By 11 I was ready to go out and popped over to Ocean Terminal to the Record Fair there...

It's off in the distance of this pic as I exited, having bought one thing and having, prior top the fair, bought 6 things in a nearby hospice shop...

Yeah, it doesn't...

Idiot in a lift...

On the way home...

Lunch and we re-watched "Bergerac" after my nodding off last night...

A cheque arrived from the auction house re the second last set of stuff sild - mum and dad's old records, Pam's old Smash Hits and a wee glass bowl with Pam's old costume jewelry - total raised £60.  But 28% gone in charges...

C'est le mort...

These my purchases today - 50p each...

Not the best...

And this at the fair for £7...

Turns out I already have the first of the 2 discs in another set...

The perils of buying Radio Broadcasts...

Ripping and listening this afternoon...

Done just in time for tea, a tasty chicken concoction from Annie...

This evening, we watched today's "Father Brown" and tonight's "Death in Paradise"...

Here, one of the featured tracks on the latter...

...and watched in disbelief as two morons disgracefully shouted down a man who is fighting for his country's very existence...

Unbelievable that the American people could have elected these piles of utter shite...

Bed around midnight...

Highlight of the Day : Anne's chicken invention...

Today's New Music:-

Small prices, large portions, the best combination...

Today's listening was sourced from these...

How many pairs of headphones does one man need?

Up late today - just before 8 - having had almost 8 hours' sleep - a rarity for me these days...

Anyway...

More Haydn this morning as I wrote this up...

Around 11:30, out...

...and down the hill and a bus to Roseburn...

 ...then, a walk to Tynecastle to the jewelers, where new batteries were inserted into each of our watches for just £3.50 a pop...

More walking...

Up to Dundee St and Mustapha's Dera, for lunch...

Neither of us threw a six at Ludo...

 ...before the popadoms and other hitherto unexperienced but very nice things arrived...

The Veggie Pakora were superb, as were the accompanying sauces...

Followed by a curry each, with rice included in the price - unbelievable these days...

Mine was Lamb Lyllpuri...

Anne's was Chicken Masaledar...

...and a Peshwari Naan for good measure...

...or, rather, bad measure, as we'd forgotten just how big the portions are in here - while the prices are extremely low...

A constitutional was required post all of this and a walk to Haymarket was undertaken...

Home around 3:30...

Some reggae in the back room...

...watch still working...

Out front, one of the cats and the dog from over the road had both spotted wee Rocky walking around outside - I think they were jealous...

More reggae in the back room...

...as the sun was going down...

I'd noted that backing up my phone these days takes up a huge amount of space on my C Drive, as the music on it appears to be being backed up too (as I can no longer use Apple to transfer any to it)...

So I deleted everything and reloaded just my (so far) 58 LPs of the day...

No tea tonight...

Thursday night...

The next episode of the "SAS Rogues" was enjoyed, although it was particularly harrowing...

Two to go...

Some listening to the above LPs and, then, tried to watch "Bergerac" (the reboot) on the Tivo but, of course, I fell asleep...

And so, to bed at 11...

Highlight of the Day : Lunchtime Indian cuisine...
