Couldn’t sleep. Think I fell asleep at 6:00 in the morning. Woke up at 14:00. Felt a bit dizzy, thought I’d take a short walk, get some air and buy some socks.  Took a shower. Walked back to the bus…

Due to the weather we couldn’t leave Thessaloniki on time, so we stayed parked until morning. All night the wind and rain were beating down on the bus. Tree-branches kept hitting the roof of the bus and it was rocking…

Rainy, grey and cold today. Sat in the dressingroom all day. Got some practicing done. Read for a bit. Had some coffee, which was ok – no more, no less.  Dinner was good, chicken, beef and fried potatoes. Some more…
