MAIN task today is to sort out the taxes on the guitar coming from Klos in the USA. I got a message from DHL on Saturday saying I had to pay. Various duties etc and as far as I’m aware they were all paid up front.
There’s no answer form DHL in Glasgow and I can;t work out if it’s because they’re shut for the bank holiday or just can’t be arsed answering.
After a mid-morning session with one of my online guitar students I get the pork belly on the smoker then get back on the DHL thing. There’s no messages saying they’re shut today and the website suggests the place is open so I some lunch then drive into Cambuslang….only to find it’s fucking shut. Ah well.
When I get back our pals Vicky and John have arrived. Vicky’s walking the West Highland Way and John is driving her ‘support vehicle’. I say hello then hit the studio to edit up some video and prep for tonight’s Wildcats’ livestream on Facebook.
There’s something odd happening with the Wildcats’ group tho’ – the ‘I’ll be live later’ livestream I do doesn’t appear on the group page…and when in go live for the main livestream at 8pm it’s not appearing anywhere either – the only way to see it is to click on my account avatar. Weird.
Back at the house the pork has turned out good and we have a grand evening of food, drink and chat.
