Remember, remember, um, something, and then it's November. Scootland!

Monday it is and a pleasant afternoon was spent noodling waiting for the Arp which only left Bristol today. Also leaving Bristol is my beautiful Super 6, its panel replaced - which is very much appreciated. Finally smooth sliding is gonna be mine. Very excited. The Penguin Cafe CD I ordered from Amazon supposedly coming Sunday hasn't arrived yet, can be up to 10pm they say. Maybe the Prime membership isn't worth keeping up any more. 
Foot day tomorrow. 


 
We're here
Sunday






OK, in one of those I went mad on saturation and levels. 








Oh yeah, went face first into a bog yesterday - totally soaked including phone and camera. Camera seems OK, phone has recovered after a rice bath but some bits not working (e.g. audio through earpiece when used as a phone). What an eejit. Think Tony upset as we turned round and missed out on his summit experience. 



Well, Friday was a day of two halves - morning I spent waiting around for Tony then decided to go out and wander around locally. Wish I'd gone first thing as it was lovely - and got some stream recordings too. Afternoon was too late for the lovely woods trip around Loch Maree so we did an abbreviated version. I was left with the usual impression that much of our time there is spent with me pining for the woods, but short of taking two cars we both compromise I suppose. Drank more whisky and smoked more weed in a week than I usually do in a month. Listened to Radio 6, which seemed considerably shitter than previous trips as they seem to have faffed around with the schedule, filling it with young airheads with zero personality and a list of records so naff I actually welcomed the Archers. Oh well. 



Next week I plan to start the Arp review, even though there's new firmware still on the way. Can cover basic functionality at least.
