Perhaps I should say “the gremlins strike again” because the first
day of this trip was quite frustrating, not to mention reeeeeaaaally
long!!
I left my house at 09:30 and it
was a sad farewell because I have never been away from Monica for
this long (3 weeks) so I had to say goodbye to her as well as all
the dogs and cats etc. Plus I hadn’t been away since the
Summer Party at the end of July so my home roots had grown quite
deep!
Anyway, we set off for Alicante
airport which wasn’t too crowded and that part went quite smoothly.
The flight took off on time, I slept a little, worked on my book and
thought about what was ahead of me.
The bits I knew about seemed
quite interesting and I am looking forward to working with my new
band, beginning with rehearsals on Monday but first I have a solo
show to do tomorrow night.
I am not totally prepared really.
I haven’t practised enough so I am relying on some down time in the
hotel to get caught up!!
I arrived in Stockholm on time
(the direct flights to Oslo were full) but Rino was a bit late
arriving. He had driven for more than 5 hours to pick me up so, when
he did arrive, he had to turn around and do it again!!
After getting lost a few times (I
love that) and then running into some nasty weather, we finally
arrive in Fredrikstad at 01:00 and by the time I had checked in,
moved in and got to bed it was past 02:00… and I was tired!!
Nothing to do after a 21 ˝ hour day
but sleep… it can only get better… can’t it?
Next day...
