Up at 6:40...
Machines on at 6:42...
Thursday - nothing on for Anne so we decided we'd go out for the day...
Post breakfast, off we went, down the hill for the bus...
...to Chamber St and into the National Museum...
50 years ago, I used to hang out here on a Saturday afternoon, looking at the records I'd bought at nearby Cockburn St Market...
Today, we were here for this...
Here is the beast...
...and here's its Genome/DNA...
...which allowed vaccines to be designed...
All very fresh, perhaps too fresh, in the memory...
Out...
OK, a couple of last pics...
...then, out...
...and a walk down said Cockburn St and through St Andrew Square...
..to the National Portrait Gallery - this the aberration that was painted by the winner of the Sky Portrait Artist of the Year, despite there having been good artists in the competition...
The photos were, in the main, better than the paintings...
...there were some really awful works amongst those on display...
This was one of the better ones...
...as was this...
..out...
...noting a view which, like many of the works currently on display, will soon be gone/changed for a different one...
Back to Bucks Bar after Friday night's shenanigans...
Tasty...
...and so, no need for tea...
Meanwhile, in Roslin...
All sold for a relative pittance but, to be fair, it was that or the bin...
Back home and a cheeky (very) wee new acquisition joined the fray in the back room...
It allows my phone to stream its library (taken from my hard drives) to the hi-fi set up via Bluetooth...
Tasty!
It’s in the distance...
...here, to the north west of my lovely coffee…
Some sounds enjoyed whilst doing nothing - Alice Cooper, Kamasi Washington, Tim Miller, Mary Eliza, Rainbow, Pulsar, Fehlfarben and Roger Waters...
No tea but two of the second season of "The Recruit"...
Meanwhile, despite having early bird access to tickets, we decided against going to see Sparks this time - ticket prices are just too much these days - especially with the not knowing what kind of absolute dicks might be sitting around you...
Late on, gave this a listen - people I know online always bang on about how great a live LP it is…
I’d not listened to it in years…
They are correct!
Saw the tour in January 1977 with Brodski - young men in greatcoats (no, not us!) playing air keyboards...
Memories...
Then, The Mothers of Invention's “Mother’s Day”, a 1971 2LP German compilation, bought in a junk shop in Amsterdam in 1982 - we stayed at the Hans Brinker in Kerkstraat. The LP is long gone now but the records were shot anyway to be honest. Partook tonight via my digital reconstruction....
Even better than I'd recalled...
And ended the day with another excellent double live LP, a fave since buying it on its release…
In a book I perused this afternoon while doing nothing, a quote from Gerhard Richter 1986...
“I’m often astonished to find how much better chance is than I am”
Herr Richter may well be but, in relation to my own work, I am not...
Chance plays a huge part in the work I create...
Goodnight cheeky wee machine...
Highlight of the Day : Out with Annie...
