AFTER breakfast I head straight to the studio to get on with mixing tracks for the new album.

Will drops the kids off late morning – they’re here for the night so he and Catriona can celebrate Catriona’s birthday with a night in Glasgow – then we make our way to the village hall for the community lunch.

I walk back and listen to some of the mixes on my earbuds. Have to say they’re sounding pretty good. I need to check the mix on earbuds, hifi and anything else I can find as well as in the studio.

I take a break from mixing to make a wee gift for Catriona then Joel rocks up with wee Rosie the Jack Russell…Freya is obsessed with dogs. Joel goes off and leaves Margaret and the kids to take the dog a walk and I get some more work done in the studio.

I go back to the house to say goodnight to the kids then make some avocado sauce then mix some tortilla dough for our pulled pork tacos….
