I’M feeling like crap when the kids wake me early…Margaret gets up – I spray my throat with some kind of medical stuff and go back to sleep for a while.

Everyone’s gone to feed the ducks when I get up and into the shower. The steam seems to help my throat but I’m really not feeling good.

When Margaret, Catriona and the kids get back we have breakfast then I hit the studio to get some work done before my pal Martyn drops by to go for a walk.

We wander up the lochside and chat for an our or two then he heads off and I make some arancini for lunch with leftover risotto. I get a little more wok done in the studio then go back to the house, light the fire and have a nap. Feeling really poorly now 🙁

I drag myself back to the studio and film a wee promo for the Glasgow gig coming up two weeks today. Before I know it, it;s nearly 8pm and the teriyaki chicken takes a good hour or nore to make…
