WE DO covid tests when we get up – Margaret’s clear…I’m still testing positive. I was positive a day ahead of Margaret and don’t seem to have been hit as hard so it’s kinda weird.

However, this is day seven for me and the guidance says if you don’t have any symptoms there’s no need to self-isolate any longer.

I have loads of new merch ideas and stuff but can’t get distracted from the songwriting as I only have allowed myself a few more days to gather/collect ideas and demos to pick what will go on the new album.

The entire day is spent in the studio with breaks for lunch and then, in the afternoon, half an hour in the kitchen to make some burgers.

Before dinner we take a walk along to visit Betty and Joe where I put up a graphic poster map that Betty asked me to design. It goes in a wee glass-fronted display box by their front door to give some local directions…Betty got tired of folks ringing the doorbell to ask for directions.

We enjoy a couple of glasses of red and a catch up then go home, fire up the charcoal grill and make some dinner. Burgers.
