A BIT of a rush to get over to the studio and set up for my first online session of the day.

We’re trying out an app called JackTrip to get around the audio latency using Zoom, A test at the weekend has both myself and my student optimistic that it’ll work.

It does, and we’re able to work much more closely.

As we finish the session my in-person guitar student rocks up. Right after she leaves I have another online session…then the lessons are done for the day.

I have a load of the bookmarks to get done and the positive has delivered some leather supplies so I get busy with that.

I also have an order in for a couple of sets of slate coasters and there’s a big batch of packaging stickers and paperweight stands to be done for son-in-law Will (Manson Glass). And, of course, everything’s urgent.

In between setting up machines and running jobs I get the smoker fired up and a bacon-wrapped pork loin on the go for tonight’s dinner…Barbara and Thorsten are coming along.

I make good progress on everything and even manage to get some radio promo done for next Friday’s release of Walk the Walk before our dinner guests arrive.
