I HAVE a busy morning catching up on emails and various admin stuff – and also sorting out a couple of bits of unfinished merch for the store.

Late morning there’s an online meeting with my fellow community hydro scheme directors then it’s lunch time.

Margaret has a prescription to pick up in the village and I decided to go with her and take a walk back. It’s kinda damp and drizzly but I enjoy the walk and headspace it affords. Lots on may mind right now!

Back home I hit the studio for a while and mess with some song ideas and a couple covers. I also pick up the banjo and try and sort out a song I wrote a while ago – Third Time Lucky. There’s something odd with it and I’ve always struggled with the vocal at then end of the verses. I’ve tried various ‘melodic’ adjustments’ but never really sorted it. I’m beginning to wonder if it’s to do with the chord sequence at the end of the verses. Watch this space!
