FIRST job of the day is to chase the poster printer…I sent artwork and my order off a week ago and haven’t heard anything. That’s unusual.

I call – looks like the email didn’t get through for some reason. sorted now.

Next up, my first Zoom guitar student of the day. once done I hit the office to try out some packaging ideas for what is about to become my first range of beard oil. My last two suppliers of beard oil have ceased trading, so time to make my own!

i experiment engraving the wee bottles and filling the engraving with silver paste but it’s not very tidy. instead I opt to make black/gold labels and engrave my web address. The result is good!

There’s a leftover ball of dough from the weekend so I make a pizza for lunch then onto the studio to make a temporary video for Meet me in the City. I want a full-length preview of the track for tonight’s Wildcats livestream and have no accompanying video…I’m gonna be filming some stuff in Glasgow tomorrow (Tuesday) – meantime I knock something using online footage.

I head put for a quick walk and get back just on time for another Zoom session with one of my guitar students.

Then it’s livestream time….then back to the house for dinner.

After we’ve eaten I sterilise all the stuff for making beard oil, including the bottles and droppers for the final product. It’s pretty straightforward and I have my first batch of ’ultimate beard oil’ ready before bedtime!
