I SPEND the morning in the office setting up an online ‘media room’ for Kevin McDermott’s new website. Quite pleased with the way it’s coming together.

After lunch I get Margaret to drive men to the village where I take posters for the Memorial Hall show round various places and walk back home putting them up on noticeboards as I go.

Back home I start prepping for tonight’s beef, butternut squash and ancho chilli. Betty’s coming for dinner.

While it’s bubbling away I get some more work done in the studio…then back to the house for food, chat and a grand night.
