AFTER my regular Monday morning Zoom session with one of my guitar students I go back to the office to retrieve some of the West Highland Way Gifts‘ stuff that’s been processing on the laser.

I reload the machine then head back to the studio to work on the new songs.

The day is spent jumping in between the songs in the studio and merch production in the office.

I’m starting to prepare for tonight’s livestream into my Wildcats’ Facebook group when I realise I still have to edit up the archive and songwriting video footage that I want to use. That’s all fine until the computer takes a massive wobbler and decides it’s not gonna process anything. FFS!

I manage to get Zoom to run for a session with one of my students then prepare to do a no-frills livestream from the garden. Actually, it works quite well and the technical benefits of a stripped-back production shine through!

After the livestream I take a quick walk while Margaret prepares dinner ..and after we’ve eaten it’s back into the office on merch production ’til bedtime…
