UP AND organised early to get the daily admin, socials and email sorted before my pal Tom arrives to go over the play out system for the new radio show launching at the end of April.

We have a coffee and catch up then hit the studio.It’s good to get an in-depth understanding of the web-based play out system so I can get properly familiar with everything before my first show. We also do some screen and video recording – not just as an aide memoire for myself, but also for some of the other presenters.

It’s mid-afternoon by the time we finish up then I see if I can edit up some of the video resources. There’s some frame rate and sync issues, but I manage to sort the majority of it out and make a start.

I don’t feel much like it, but I make myself go a walk up the lochside. Despite my tiredness I enjoy the walk and get back in time for a visit from tom to chat over some community trust stuff with Margaret. Nice to see him briefly before I go back to the video editing….
