RELEASE day for Key to the Highway…I get some social media posting and stuff done before heading off to the school in Balloch.

I have a good morning with the kids and get hime just in. time for my guitar student arriving with her dogs at midday.

I’m making lunch when Margaret calls me through – she’s had a call from ‘British Airways’ and got suspicious. Turns out all the calls from ‘British Airways’ customer service have been a sophisticated scam attempt, probably from someone monitoring my Tweeted complaints! Luckily Margaret smelled a rat and we cancel her credit card etc before any damage is done.

After lunch I realise that we’re skint – I have a load of bills due on Monday and no money in the bank. We’re still waiting on payments for the Stirling and Irvine shows (both being paid by local councils!) and I already paid Andres his share. We’d hoped to have been paid by now.

In a desperate bid to save our cashflow I get Wildcats’ hoodies and t-shirts on pre-order, add some Wildcats’ mugs and also post a ‘free-plus-postage’ offer for a limited quantity o my debut solo album Come With Me.

Early evening we wander along the lochside for dinner with Betty and her pal Liz who’s visiting from Aberdeen….
