MY guitar student arrives first thing..and just as she rolls up a delivery of materials for the new smoker shelter roof arrives. Typical!

Once the lesson is done I get busy with some orders for merch orders that have come in via the ‘free plus postage’ badge offer. I also need to get a bunch of personalised magnetic bookmarks finished that have been ordered via West Highland Way Gifts.

It’s a nice day and I postpone my planned paddle so I can get some work done trying to remove the old roof from the smoker shelter. Harder than I anticipated. The nails ain’t coming out! I resort to a Dremel and metal cut off discs but go through them at a rate of knots…then my battery runs out.

I decide to go for a paddle while it’s charging and do a couple of livestreams form the loch and film some footage that I might be able to edit into a wee video for (Looks like you’re) Walkin’ on Water.

Back home I have a quick shower and (a late) lunch then get back onto the shelter roof. I don’t get much done before dark and decide that an angle grinder might be quicker and easier…I can pick one up for about thirty quid tomorrow morning after we’ve been to see Freya in her primary one nativity play.

After dinner I print cChristmas card lists and labels and we manage to get the overseas cards done…probably too late for Christmas but hey, ho…the thought’s there!
