THE ALARM goes off at 5am. We’re shooting videos for the songs from the new album that will be released as singles over the coming months.

The sun hits the stained glass window of the space we’re shooting in around 6.30am and will be in the right place ’til about 9am. We need to get there in time to set up lights etc so we can get as much in the bag as we can.

Of course everything takes longer than we expect and we only manage to get two songs caught on camera. Luckily we can leave the lights and most of the set up in place for another visit early doors Thursday.

We’re home in time for a session with one of my online guitar students then I dump the video rushes onto a hard drive.

I have a photo job tomorrow so have to reset the camera and make sure all my strobe and remote batteries are charged.

One of my cousins is celebrating his 80th birthday with a lunch in Glasgow on Thursday. I need to make a gift so spend some time messing with ideas.

The sun’s shining so I go to the village with Margaret and walk back. Phew.
