Lots of paper today, including a pile of mail I haven't had time to open, and the harmonium and celeste parts of Shostakovich's The Age of Gold for a recording session next week. Also Bill Drummond's book '45' which I'm devouring with relish. While I was away this week our wireless router blew up irretrievably, so at lunchtime today I jumped on my bike, and rode back through Kelvingrove Park and the Kelvin Walkway with a new one proudly strapped to the pannier rack. I wasted two hours making it work, but I also managed to put some curtains up. 

There's a sneak preview here of a building in which I spent much of my youth (my dad initiated me into the Glasgow ritual of patting Pabasa as you walk past), and here, if you scroll through the pictures, you can see ThaMadHatter playing the keyboard that features on the intro to Norrgården Nyvla and in the Szapora on Spring Any Day Now. I forgot to insist on a health and safety disclaimer about the plastic bag on my head, sorry.
