Golden Arches

Quick stop on the way to the shop for supplies, this time with tripod in tow. I had hoped for soe light trails but the 600m zoom was a bit long for anything useful.

Long wait all day for Jen to finish work so we could spend the evening playing SSX. After we could no longer manage to play any more we switched to playing 7" singles, I had a pack of them and Jen was picking one at random from the pile. Which led to some interesting segues.

Purchased rather too much vinyl at Vinyl Villains, three KLF 12" at £5 apeice, one each of Last Train to Trancental (Live from the Lost Continent), What Time is Love (Live at Trancentral) and 3Am Eternal (Presents the Moody Boys Selection). One of these I already own but it is a poor copy, all of them I have previously owned but they got lost in transit from Newcastle to Edinburgh 10 years ago, and all of them are on the KLF label rather than the TVT imports. So I count that as £15 well spent. I also picked up an Underworld 12" of Dark and Long (Dark Train) and two 7" of Alice Coopers Seven and Seven is Live (for the excellent rendition of Generation Landslide '81 Live on the B Side) and Iron Maiden's Wasted Years, (and who can resist a slice of Iron Maiden at the top of their game).

At the comic shop I bought the first Sandman graphic novel, another replacement for things lost in translation to Edinburgh, though it was the full set of comics that went rather than graphic novels and they were sold to lighten the load when we moved up here. Only read the first few pages but it brought a wee tingle to my spine in anticipation of the next 70 odd issues that I will be re-reading, and Jen has only read Neil Gaiman in novel form rather than comic so she will be force fed it too.

Avocado Soup for tea, delicious as usual, if a little tepid.
