Go to sleep, boys.


Phew. Touring is exhausting.

And here's why: when your day is based around just one main event, your day shifts to make that event the middle of your day.

Or, in other words, when you have a gig every night, you spend half your day working up to it, and half your day winding down from it. And if your gig doesn't end until midnight, and then you factor in travel back from whichever town, so you don't actually get back to your home-base-cottage until 2am, your "afternoon" starts at 2am. You get in, start dinner, make a fire, break out the chess board and the twister etc, etc.

It's a whole new kind of time-change, touring. And a whole new kind of jet-lag afterwards.


Back on the road (this time some German roads) in a little over a week.
