Giving stuff to a new, appreciative home...

Playlist

Up just after 6 and listening to the podcast content...

...under not photographed that often these days skies...

The podcast will be another top notch set of tunes to which hardly anyone will listen...

So it goes...

Onwards...

Dishes done...

Looking forward to our paintings finally going back up...

Anne was gardening, tidying up the storm mess - I was recording and uploading the podcast...

At 11, off out to Loanhead...

I handed over sister Pam’s Gala Day crown from 1975, along with congratulatory telegrams, programmes, books, videos, photos etc etc to Loanhead historian and old school chum, Alan McLaren, for his archive...

He was extremely grateful...

 Alan gave me copies of his books on the history of Loanhead...

For someone who grew up in the small town, these are very interesting indeed...

Our dad gets a brief mention as leader of the Rotary Club at one point and you might recognise someone in the photo of the guides in 1970…

Disappointed though that there seems to be no mention amongst the myriad football teams from the town of my own Eskdale Boys Club - oh well...

To mum's house and new windows have been installed...

To Ikea - spicy rice based lunch enjoyed...

I was looking for this - and I found it and I secured it...

Here it is in situ - for once, I brought something into the house which Anne likes!

On the way home, I stopped off at the big Cancer shop at the foot of the hill and acquired three classical LPs...

£1 each - played on my return (Anne was at Pickleball)...

All a wee bit crackly in places but, luckily, I have already sourced digital versions sans surface noise...

Anne returned with apples, which were blown off Lynn's tree yesterday by the storm...

Fish and chips for tea...

We enjoyed the final two episodes of "Department Q", comeuppance being dealt out satisfyingly - we are hoping for a second series...

Then, last night's "University Challenge - a win for Edinburgh over Newcastle - we scored 125, not bad considering not so many of the questions were aimed at us...

Amazingly, I got all the artist questions right - failed though on all but one of the music ones...

Then "Fake or Fortune" - the latter this week...

To bed - noting once again the improved headphone set up...

Lights out at 11...
