AFTER a long lie drinking coffee, checking emails/socials and watching Saturday Kitchen in bed we have a late breakfast.

I send some messages off re a possible location/venue for a video shoot for a bunch of songs from the new album. Hoping to have them in the bag soon, especially as I’d like a shot or still from the shoot on the inside of the CD wallet.

After a brief exchange of message we arrange to visit the venue tomorrow (Sunday). It also crossed my mind that I’ll no doubt need an ND filter for the lens I’m planning to use if I wanna get ‘the look’ I’m after. I go online and get one ordered.

In the office I start some design work on a special commission that’s come in. It’s kinda challenging and I’m not 100% if, and how, I can pull it off.

We’re having pizza tomorrow night so I get the poolish I made yesterday out the fridge and make a batch of pizza dough.

Another beautiful sunny day outside and I run through some songs in the garden.

Too windy for a paddle and the roads are too busy for a comfortable cycle – plus I don’t really have time – so I go a walk up the lochside.

Back home I spend a couple of hours cooking up a big pot of ancho, beef and butternut squash chilli….
