I MANAGE to get the routine admin – socials, emails, shower, breakfast etc – all out the way before my morning guitar student arrives. We have a really good session and she’s doing really well.

There’s a few financial things to be sorted out – including payment for the new PA system I bought a couple of months ago on a deferred payment. It needs paid for. The credit card’s a mess and a loan needs cleared.

That all takes the rest of the morning but I think I get things into some state of order. Still gotta tackle my accounts tho’. Another day!

After lunch I get busy writing news releases and contacting local and regional media about the upcoming festival shows at Dewsbury (Saturday 14 September) and Darlington (Sunday 15 September).

I get a wander up the lochside then spend some time working on a ‘digital consultation’ for a nearby business.
