UP early to get my sourdough in the oven…then prepare for a paddle. It’s been three weeks since I’ve been on the loch. Plus. it gets me out the house when the sourdough come out the oven and has to cool for an hour before I’m ‘allowed’ to eat it!

The loch’s flat calm and Ii do. livestream to promote the upcoming shows. I’m not out long so I have time for a shower and breakfast before my first Zoom guitar student of the day.

After the session do some other online promo and get some news releases written for the upcoming shows before heading back to the house to try and fix a downpipe and have lunch.

Back in the studio I have another bash at filming for a ‘rig rundown’ before an afternoon guitar student arrives.

I manage to get a little more filming done before another Zoom guitar session then my weekly livestream into the Wildcats’ Facebook group. In between times I hear that I;ve been nominated in two categories of the UK Blues Awards – acoustic act of the year and traditional blues artist of the year. If I make the shortlist to he finals of either category there’s be a public vote….

Margaret’s got dinner ready when I get back to the house then we head along for a dink with Betty and her family to celebrate her birthday.
