ALARM goes off at 6.30am to get the oven open and ready for the sourdough.

By 8am the sourdough is out the oven and I’m open way out for a paddle…it’s a lovely morning and I wanna do a couple of livestream updates from the water.

Back home I have a shower, breakfast and hit the studio in time for my first Zoom guitar student of the day.

After the session I get busy with another video edit to spin into tonight’s Wildcats’ livestream on Facebook and deal with some other admin that’s come in.

At lunchtime I prep the beef short ribs and get the smoker going…then the ribs are on and smoking’.

My afternoon guitar student arrives with her mum and we have a good wee session then I’m back in the studio finishing the video edit and prepping for tonight’s livestream.

One more Zoom lesson then a quick dash to get the ribs off the smoker and into a ‘faux cambro’ before the Wildcats’ livestream…
