FIRST job is to chase up the Acoustasonic guitar and mods…I;m nervous that there’s gonna be a delay and I won’t have it time for the Estonia tour. We leave early doors Tuesday.

I call Jimmy Egypt to find the guitar arrived yesterday (Wednesday…and they were meant to ‘keep me posted’!) and he’s starting work on the mods this afternoon. Hopefully ready tomorrow (Friday) or Saturday. Ideally it’d be tomorrow so I can spend some time sorting patches on the Quad Cortex and generally getting used to it.

A new, bigger, casting flask arrives in the post so I try my new method out on a Loch Lomond pendant…it works! I make a few more guitars too. Once they’re finished and polished I stick some pictures on my socials and immediately sell ’em – someone even requested the rather rough prototype I posted pix of yesterday!

There’s a shopping list and meal plan to be made up then I hit the studio and do some work on the new song.

Betty’s coming for dinner and I make velvetised chicken with mixed mushrooms and black fungus. Goes down a storm.

We’re not long finished when Matty rolls up. he’s staying over tonight on his way to Glasgow.
