MARGARET’S off early to get the car in for a service in Paisley.

After breakfast I intend to set up and start recording sessions for the new album.

Alas, two important tasks come up that I need to deal with.

First up, a contract and load of info for a summer festival booking. Once that’s done there’s a bunch of stuff to be done for the community hydro society.

After lunch I get the studio pretty much set up and ready to go then nip out for a quick walk while the rain’s off.

Back in the studio I do a lot of tweaking and mic moving before getting a test recording cone. It’s OK, but not what I’m looking for…and it’s getting late…
