WE’RE just getting things sorted for breakfast when Catriona and the kids roll up.

Nice to see them, but a good half-hour earlier than expected and, of course, Margaret drops everything when they arrive!

After breakfast I hit the studio. Still feeling crap with lurgy but gotta try and make a dent in some of the work that’s mounting up. Margaret, Catriona and the kids go to feed the ducks.

I try and get some work done on an animation I have going round in my head for the video to accompany Loch Lomond (Home)…problem is I’m not exactly well up on animation and I have no idea how to execute any of my ideas!

I take a break to go and tidy up the kitchen and retrieve a quiche from the oven then get back to work.

When everyone gets back we have some lunch then I continue my quest to animate a character for the video. Slow progress. In fact, it might not be progress at all.

I’d hoped to finish the transcript I’m doing for Martyn, but get so caught up in the quest to animate, it’s dark and time to get the grill on for our chicken kebabs…
