THE ALARM goes at 6am to get the dough made for my rolls. Once it’s one he go I make a coffee and deal with my socials.
I have an early meeting with a local pal who’s asked me if can use one of my drones to survey a few acres of gorse oin the grounds of his house. Conditions are good and I get the job done despite I the midges. When I get home the dough for the rolls is ready so I divide it up, shape it and stick it in the oven.
Alas, I only have a few minutes form the beginnings and end of the drone flight. No Iidea what’s happened to the main part.
I have a 20 minutes or so before my young guitar student arrives so I dash back and re-do the video, making sure I have it in the bag this time.
After the guitar lesson we have breakfast then I check out the audiopoint info panel in the office. The layers of varnish are definitely building up in the engraving and making it less legible. I hum and haw then decide to mix some black mica powder with clear-drying wood glue and overfill some of the engraving. Once it’s cured (tomorrow) I’ll sand it back and hope it’s worked. If not, the thing could be ruined and put me right back to the start.
We’re off to see our pal John. Goldie playing in Gullane this evening. It’s show for Vintage, Rare & Retro Guitars who’ve booked me to play their next show at Gullane Village Hall at the end of August.
We leave early so we can drop into Costco in Edinburgh en route.
There’s a few folks we know at the show…we have a grand night and roll back home by 1am…
