I HAVE a session with an online guitar student first thing then we head into Glasgow for my appointment at the eye hospital.
Margaret drops me at Gartnavel and goes to get some shopping. We need a pork belly from Costco and a fair bit of pother shopping. Margaret’s cooking dinner at Betty’s for six of us tonight – and we have eight French folks coming for Saturday’s show that we need to entertain on Sunday. Oh, and Jonzip and Maggi are here for the show and staying over Saturday night.
I have a Zoom interview at 2pm with a journalist in Sussex ahead of next weekend’s Brighton show but Margaret’s ‘running a little late’ (!!!!) with the shopping and doesn’t pick me up ‘til nearly an hour after I’m done…and leaving no chance of getting home in time for the interview.
As 2pm approached we park up just outside Milngavie with what appears to be a decent mobile data signal and I do the interview…first part is OK with just a few freezes, but the journalist also wants to record a section of video and the signal just isn’t stable enough. He has another meeting at 3pm so we agree on a 2.45pm return and Margaret boots it home just in time. I get into the studio and the video section of the interview goes flawlessly. Phew!
I have an in person guitar student later in the afternoon then hit the studio to try and sort some social ads for the upcoming shows before we go along to Betty’s.
We’re there half an hour before Fiona, Barbara and Thorsten to get things going in the kitchen and we have a grand night.
