THE USUAL Monday routine of an early alarm to get the sourdough in the oven…then, once it cools, breakfast and off to the studio for a session with a Zoom guitar student.

There’s a load of stuff needing done in the studio – and some gear to check/sort before we head to Darlington later in the week for my final show of the year.

I edit up some video clips for tonight’s Wildcats’ livestream on Facebook and prepare for a Help Musicians’ focus group meeting…which is subsequently postponed.

Darkness starts to fall and I finally mange a quick walk before the livestream.
