We were in an old church today, reworked to be an arts center. Nice place.  Pre-made sandwich and instant coffee for breakfast. Trying to save energy so I didn’t do much at all today. Finished the Henry Sugar short films by…

Due to the damage caused by the storm ”Darragh”, the ferries to and from Ireland were cancelled. That sucks. We were really looking forward to play Dublin. It’s always great there.  Instead, we have an involuntary day-off in Milton Keynes.…

We got in the venue at 14:00, and usually the catering is ready. But not today. There was nothing to eat or drink until 16:00. Because someone at the venue ”forgot”. How nice. Had a meet-and-greet. Then got our buy-out…

The city of Def Leppard and David Coverdale. Another ice-cold venue. Instant coffee and sandwich for breakfast. Buy-out again, so we went to find a pub somewhere. Had a burger for dinner. Average.  The show was fun. Rikard had a…

Did nothing much today either. Hmm, I’m sensing a theme here… Been coughing all day. Headache, too. Managed to get some practicing done. Dinner was quite good. Fried potatoes and pork-something.  What felt like an impossible mission (the show) actually turned…
