To the beach!

Wednesday, October 15th, 2008 by

Yesterday morning, my friend Berni picked me up and took Greg and me on a trip to Cottesloe Beach and King’s Park. Berni brought along Kerri (I’d met both of them in Los Angeles when they were on vacation) and her daughter Jennifer. We drove to Cottesloe Beach and...→ Read More

Insomnia

Saturday, October 11th, 2008 by

I haven’t written in the past few days. At first, I’d adjusted immediately to the difference in time zone (Europe to Australia), but now every other day, I’m waking at 3am, regardless of what time I go to sleep. I went to bed last night at 2am, and at...→ Read More

Sight-seeing in the Land down Under!

Friday, October 10th, 2008 by

Today, I was determined to do some sight seeing, so LaTanya and I took the train into Perth where we boarded a tour bus with a group of other tourists. We were lucky enough to land the front seats and could see the entire landscape before us. It was...→ Read More

Leaving the UK, heading to Australia!

Thursday, October 9th, 2008 by

How on earth did I let an entire week go by without journaling? Wow. Well, it went like this: Monday, I slept in late again, went to have dinner with Chris, Greg (our tour manager), and Chris’ friend Kirin. We had Indian food in SoHo, and a waiter who...→ Read More

A Day off in London

Sunday, October 5th, 2008 by

I didn’t wake up today until 4:30pm! I suppose that I was rather exhausted. It’s rare for me to allow myself that kind of extended sleep, but I really, really, really needed it! Upon rising, I finally made some phone calls to friends, since I had a couple of...→ Read More

Back in Birmingham

Saturday, October 4th, 2008 by

I didn’t get out of the bed until nearly 1pm today! I suppose I was more than a little exhausted. I didn’t eat breakfast, I didn’t work out, I didn’t go for a walk. Oh well! Sometime a woman just has to sleep! I’d wanted to walk to the...→ Read More

Another show in Manchester

Friday, October 3rd, 2008 by

Tonight’s show in Manchester was awesome! Everyone played really well, and the audience was highly responsive. This morning I woke up, ate, went back to sleep, got up, got dressed, practiced for an hour, headed to the venue, practiced for 2 hours, ate dinner, got dressed, played the show,...→ Read More

A Day Off in Manchester

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008 by

Finally another day off! Today, I basically slept, responded to email, went for a walk through town, in the cold and rainy weather, updated my blog, slept, ate dinner with a group from the tour, and returned to the hotel in order to finish my email, blog and ironing....→ Read More

Fourth show at the O2

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 by

Alas, I had a cup of green tea yesterday afternoon, and despite being awake until nearly 4am again, I woke up at 8am. I wish I weren’t quite so sensitive to caffeine! Sigh… Somehow I managed to make it through the day without too much fatigue, despite still experiencing...→ Read More

Back at the O2

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 by

I don’t feel well this morning. My stomach is bothering me, but I decided to get up and have a short workout and breakfast anyway. I immediately went back to bed after breakfast, deciding that rest was more important than practicing. I finally got up and dressed to head...→ Read More
