Had to get up at 6:00 in the morning for border control, but it was surprisingly smooth.  Sandwich and instant coffee for breakfast. Really cold in the venue.  Tom’s birthday today. His daughter came to surprise him and some other…

Beautiful venue today. Good coffee, tasty sandwich. Went and bought some cold medicine, painkillers and throat pills.  Guess it’s my turn to have issues with my in-ears. Getting different levels of the instruments for some reason. Realised now that it…

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…

Cold dressingroom. In fact, so cold they had to put in space heaters and the staff wore hats and jackets.  Sandwich with guacamole and cheese. And good coffee. Watched a movie. No soundcheck. No practicing. Just tired.  Schnitzel for dinner,…

Grey and rainy. The usual for breakfast, coffee and sandwich. Slightly below average, I’d say. Practicing the (you guessed it!) Bach Cello Suites. That’s probably the only thing I will practice in the foreseeable future.  Penne Bolognese for dinner. Very…

Return of the border control. This time at 3:00 in the morning. I was juuuust about to fall asleep.  Breakfast was a sandwich and coffee. Coffee was a 2 out of 5.  Today was a difficult day for me. I…

The dreaded border control was at 7:30 in the morning, so that was ok.  No wifi and the ”regular” net costs a fortune to use AND is limited, so no internet today.  Sandwich and coffee for breakfast at a nearby…
