MY USUAL Wednesday morning student is coming today (Thursday) this week. We have a good session an and when she’s finished I get on with some stuff in the office.

In the studio I mess a little more with the latest version of the co-write song Elaine sent me.

While I like the challenge of doing something outwith my usual style I’m not sure I can do much with this other than add a guitar part…which kinda defeats the purpose.

I decide to try stripping it right back and rejigging the arrangement to fit closer to something I might do myself…but keep the main vibe of what Elaine’s done. Maybe this is what co-writing is all about – I dunno – never done it before!

In the office I work on some Christmas baubles – trying to get a decent photo engraved on ’em is proving a bit of a challenge but I think I may have cracked it but the time Betty arrives for dinner and Margaret calls me in.
