MARGARET’S off to Edinburgh early to get her hair done and have lunch with. Lesley and Catriona.

My regular Thursday morning guitar student arrives on time and once we’re through I do some finishing work on a custom brass gift I’ve been busy with.

There’s some last minute merch orders for both my own music stuff and personalised West Highland Way Gifts‘ items. I need two get them started so they can get posted off tomorrow to arrive before Christmas.

After lunch I want to swap out the defunct fluorescent light in the shed with a new LED fixture. I need to switch of the electricity to be sure it’s not live, but there’s a big job processing. on one of the lasers in the. office. I take the oppoortunityto go for a walk.

Of course it; ls getting dark when I get back so I have two use a head torch to disconnect and remove the. old light fitting and get the new one up.it works!

A couple more merch orders have come in, including a couple for my ‘blues comes in many colours’ mugs. I;ll get onto them once the other stuff is all done.

We take a wander along to Betty’s to put up a picture then back home for dinner and off for a local meeting.

When e get back Margaret does all the sewing on the leather orders and I pack stuff up and do the mugs, They turn out pretty weird tho’ and it seems the printer I use for dye sublimation has a blocked nozzle. Finding the fix and carrying it out takes me ’til after midnight, so it’s a late one….
