AFTER breakfast I hit the office – I wanna design something for a special gift and have an idea what I want, but not sure how I'm gonna do it!
There's some trial and error and finally I get the result I'm looking for then hit the studio. As well as some final prep for tonight's Dave Arcari's Deep Blues on Rock.Scot I need to make up some kind of set list for the garden gig on Saturday (15 August).
Next job is prepare some pork belly. Two slabs. One for the smoker tomorrow (Monday) and the other wrapped in tinfoil and put in the oven for two hours – it stays wrapped and goes straight in the fridge for making bao buns for lunch later int he week.
Back in the studio I run through the set I made up earlier and also mess with some old songs that I haven't played in a long – a very long – time. I also run through some new stuff that I'll maybe play next Saturday if I'm brave enough.
Margaret's back on her 'couch to 5k' so I take a walk upon the woods and accompany her...then it's radio show time.
The radio show finishes at 9pm so I rush back to the house to get online for Bill and Dorothy's livestream and watch the first part while making dinner – linquine con nduja with cherry tomatoes – then relax and enjoy the rest of the livestream.
