ANOTHER scortchio day – I get to work finishing the custom spurt order then hit the studio.

Once I get a set list made up for next Saturday’s show at Upton Blues Festival I run through some of the songs.

I think I’ll just take one steel guitar plus the banjo and acoustasonic as space int eh air is gonna be tight with all the camping stuff.

There’s a message from someone on Facebook who, back in February, made an offer on the camera stuff I had for sale then promptly disappeared. I’m naturally cautious they’re back in touch and after a few messages and a phone call from his brother-in-law a provisional arrangement has been made for him to come and see the stuff on Thursday afternoon.

Mikey’s arrived and is staying the night. I make some fresh pasta with wild garlic and an Italian sausage sugo. Once we’ve eaten we chill and watch Billy’s monthly livestream. they’re over form Florida and staying at their ‘other’ house in Invergowrie for a few months…and coming here in a coupla weeks for the garden gig.
