Arborist, altitudist, artist; cut trees, walk on stilts, make art. Penchant for loud guitars. Painting my way back to freedom.

What did I do on my birthday? Got home early and joined in with the neighbours kids chalk drawing on the pavement. I told them to get the whole street before they go back to school on Wednesday. This is what the bit outside our house looks like. #streetart #chalkdrawing #DH7

A slack handful of runner beans from the garden and heading for the dinner plate. #growyourown #allotment #beans #naturesbounty

It's been a while... Got this old beast out of the case for the first time in years and blew some big honking notes through the labyrinth of tubes. It's like bumping into an old friend. I'll give it a polish... Nothing like blowing a big shiny horn. #euphonium #blowyourownhorn

This 600-year-old painting is one of the most mysterious in history. That mirror at the back is just 3 inches wide — yet it reflects the entire room in immense detail. Look closer at it and you'll realize nothing is as it seems… (thread) 🧵

Great wee skoot round the old railway lines this morning on my trusty bicycle and now heading to the office. I like to avoid office days as much as possible but sometimes it needs to be done. Once a fortnight is more than enough.

Cooking is a favourite thing of mine, especially when you have the kitchen to yourself, listen to Tom Waits and enjoy a wee chef's nips just to keep in my flow. #homecooking #chefsnips #BeerTime

New toys today. Been after one of these pedalboard switchers for a while now. This should make gigging easier. #gigrig #supportlivemusic #pedalboard

Yesterday I worked out how to use my iPad to create a hot spot for my laptop. Probably no big deal to all you computer-savvy types, but a small victory for me.

My wee Saturday morning set up... Five new tunes to add to the Kimakaze set list tomorrow. Coffee in my guitar mug to set the tone. #supportlivemusic #vox #overdrive

Knocking up a simple risotto with chard, runner beans, tomatoes, parsley, garlic and basil. A vegetable stock with a wee spoon of Tom Yum powder for spice. I've got such a bumper crop of beans this year, they're going in everything. #homecooking #risotto #runnerbeans #growyourown

Working from home today, sitting at my desk wearing a hat and scarf. Woe-betide should I breach the "No heating until October" rule in this house. Now, where's my slippers? #autumnvibe #keepingwarm #frostymornings

Nice wee astrophysics podcast downloaded, flask cup filled with fresh coffee and I'm ready for my Monday drive down to the North York moors to do tree stuff. #Mondaymotivaion #CoffeeTime
