WE’RE up at a decent time to get our asses to Chem19 in Blantyre for day two of mixing the new album.

Margaret didn’t come to bed ’til 3.30am and is a bit worse for wear so I do the driving.

Paul is ready and waiting and both his dad Jim and wife Emma are kicking about, so it’s nice to catch up with them.

There’s eight songs still to be mixed. We only did three yesterday, but they were the most work-intensive. We make good progress and stop for lunch…steak in pepper sauce form the nearby cafe. Friday ‘s menu is always our favourite and is just as good as it has been on our previous visits. We’ve not been here since 2017!

By the end of the day we’re done…all tracks mixed and in the bag. Delighted.

Matty rocks up not long after we’re home and I cook the pinchitos outside on the grill…big ‘family day’ tomorrow… 🙂
