WE head into town early and Margaret drops me at Milngavie station before 8am. She’s off to the other side of Glasgow and I have stuff to do in the city centre.

First stop for me is McDonalds for some breakfast, coffee and Wi-Fi where I spend a couple of hours dealing with the needful and getting some work done on the final video transcript for Scottish Book Week.

I take a walk to GuitarGuitar and catch up with some folks there and check out some stuff that may make travel easier in the future. My pedalboard – great as it is – is big and heavy. I’d like to try and downsize!

Back up at Buchanan Galleries I find a seat and do a little more work then stop in at Greggs for a quick sandwich for lunch.

Next I get some posters printed for the upcoming Glasgow show and drop some into Love Music where I hang out and chat with owner Sandy.

A promoter pal from Cork is in Glasgow for a few days and we’ve arranged to meet at the CCA for coffee. I brave the pouring rain to find Emmett and Chicka standing outside. It’s shut! We go to the Willow Tearooms instead and Margaret comes to join us.

We’re back home just in time for my 7pm Zoom guitar student then it’straight onto my weekly livestream into the Wildcats’ Facebook group. Phew!
