AFTER a wee bit of a lie in I head to the studio for a session with a Zoom guitar student.

Next job it prepping Still Friends – the single coming on Friday – for Bandcamp so I can share in my WIldcats’ livestream later. It’s live on my Bandcamp page now.

The forecast wind is really picking up now and because of the leaves on the trees, bushes etc, it’s having a pretty devastating effect. We brave the elements and try and anchor down the fruit cage with paracord and same with the wee PVC greenhouse thing that houses my tomatillo plants.

Sadly two of the three have succumbed to the wind and despite being inside the greenhouse thing are broken beyond repair. There was gonna be a bumper crop but only two or three fruits have reached full-size/ripeness 🙁

Back in the studio I edit up video footage from both Upton Blues Festival and the ‘gig in the garden’ for tonight’s livestream and subsequent social content.

At livestream time we still have power, thank goodness…I was expecting the usual wind-induced power cuts…and the livestream all goes to plan.
