Up around 7 and writing this and listening to Hawkwind and Capital Models...

Happy 21st Birthday to Kitty, seen here in a rather grainy pic with, hopefully, her favourite uncle...


Without breakfast it was off at 9:30, songsheets having been ordered correctly, over to Paul's to pick him up then, out to Roslin for today's session...


We played through all 42 of the songs in the proposed three sets for the Leith Dockers gig on 29 March...

Where mistakes were made, I kept things going and we played until we got it right, in the knowledge that I could edit things together back home...

"Starman" proved particularly difficult for some reason and a 3:30 song was stretched out to 10 by the time I'd gotten everyone to play things correctly...

Home and, then, immediately along to Anne's mum's to pick Anne up from her visit there...


Mary was on reasonable form...

Enjoying the rugby, even though Scotland were getting tanked...

Back home, we finished off "North Shore" and enjoyed the latest of "Astrid"...

I was also able to prove that people who issue codes and have people use them to get their music for free end up with "supporters" who have not actually supported...

I paid hee-haw for this ambient LP...


On this basis, the face of every fucker who has taken any of my LPs should appear below my LPs...

But they don't...

Supporters would be in the hundreds LOL...

Pics from Sheila taken at yesterday's viewing of the storm damage to mum's fence...



Neighbours are sorting but we're paying...

Tasty tea from Annie...



...as the weekend drew to a close...


...made a quick edit job of today's "tapes" whittled our work full recordings down from 3hrs 36mins, by removing everything apart from the 42 full songs and bits of songs to be edited in etc (plus 2 wee jams), to 2hrs 35mins...

And I managed too, too to complete the editing etc on the first 7 songs...

Painstaking...

To bed around midnight with some new LPs in the cans...

Highlight of the Day : Rehearsing for ages...
