Not remembering about football...

Playlist


An early start...


The usual first things under treated skies...




Almost the weekend...



A strange breakfast concoction - salad with eggs, done in a pan...

Reasonable...


Anne was ready for a haircut...


...and headed off on the bus to Musselburgh...

I picked the next CD Box...

No 73 Harnoncourt - Izzy...


Today, pianist Rolf Hind's debut recording, issued on Factory Records 37 years ago but still as fresh as it was then...


Features works by Gyorgy Ligeti, Steve Martland, Oliver Messiaen and Elliott Carter...


Difficult listening hour (and three minutes twenty seconds)...


Then, having checked with Anne via WhatsApp...


...booked us two tickets for the farewell tout by The Bad Plus-  they are playing 2 shows in Manchester on the same night - we are at the early show...


Then, into the car and over to Portobello...


...where some things were found...

Then, on to Musselburgh - where one more thing was found...



...and I met up with Anne post haircut...

Parked...


...and into The Willow, for tasty burgers...


The journey home was convoluted thanks to my following the satnav which took us into a big traffic jam...

But, soon we were at Lidl for minor provisions...

This, the view from the parking spot...


Home and ripping and listening...


Items from three shops...


A 2CD compilation by guitarist Gordon Giltrap...


A nice collection by Canadian singer/songwriter, Bruce Cockburn...


A recent release on ECM...


A 2CD set of reasonably obscure Northern Soul stuff...


And, finally, this 10 year or so old thing out of that Glasgow - with a light Blue Nile connection...


...and Anne's haircut was good - even though it now appears (2 days later) that she lost her hat somewhere along the way...


Fang popped by and was scared off, post Dreamies, by noisy children...


Photos taken re a new railcard...


Old codger...


We will travel by train to Manchester and also, tonight, booked a Premier Inn...

Quick work...

I am writing this 2 days later - having given myself a note, "Football" but I cannot, for the life of me, remember why...

Maybe we watched a game on the TV (along with some "Chicago PD"")...

Anyway...

Lights out...

Highlight of the Day: The Bad Plus booked...
