I WAKE up to front page news (again!) in the Stirling Observer about our paddlebaord fundraiser. Nice.

No time to gloat, though – I’ve a full day on the music branding course from the Academy of Music & Sound which is running every Friday and still has a few weeks to go.

It’s a busy day, and when I finish up with coursework I see my my inbox is flooded with more orders for ‘free plus postage’ CDs. I panic about overselling then take a look in the studio loft and find some backup supplies…along with a bunch of Bed Salts’n’All – an a album form Tim Elliott & the Troublemakers I put out in 2001.

This free plus postage idea is the best I;ve had in. while as folks are ordering other stuff – a lot of stuff – from my merch store. I spend a while collating orders then close ups he studio.

Matty’s arrived for the night and the weather’s great..we sit int eh garden and enjoy a few beers then I grill the marinaded chicken….
