UP at 6am to get the oven on for the sourdough. My plan is to get hot baked and out the oven…then go for a paddle while it cools.

Once the bread’s in the oven I get the paddleboard inflated and prepare to head out on the water. Everything goes to plan and I have an enjoyable hour-and-a-half going round the island and doing a livestream to promote tonight’s Wildcats’ livestream!

Back home I jump int he shower then enjoy some fresh sourdough toast as part of my breakfast.

Next, I have a Zoom session with one of my guitar students then I search online for a replacement nut for the one I scuppered trying to put heavier strings on the new guitar.

I take a walk along to see Betty and help with an online thing then head home for lunch.

There’s a couple of flasks to be engraved and parcelled up to go to France. Once they’re underway I start to fix one of the outdoor bar stools, clean the grill from the smoker and investigate the cause of the smoker lid not sealing properly.Looks like a nut has gone astray…I get int ouch with the manufacturer to see how I can fi things.

In between times I get a video from the recent Memorial Hall show edited and ready to spin into tonight’s livestream and get some more prep done…
