We arrived at 10.20 something at Heathrow terminal 3 on VS 003. I managed to get 10 minutes of sleep on the flight. I watched Cloverfield. It was good on a tiny screen. The monster was a bit of a CGI let down. I hate CGI for living creatures. As soon as you spot the CGI, it breaks the spell.
Rehearsals began at 2pm. Everyone was there when I arrived. We ran through the new songs first and then took a break. Something happens when you complete a record. There are lots of little details that focus each song. These details now set these songs apart from the 11 songs we went into the studio with, the 11 that we played on the rehearsal tour. Like bread before and after the oven. They are ready now.Then we went through all the older songs. All fine.
We cut off at 6pm and went for a drink. It’s always nice to hang after we’ve had a break. Dougie went off to catch bathtime. Claes went off to meet his girlfriend. Neil, Andy and I went for some food. Then we all split.
It was late. Clay was still up. Kiddy jet lag. I slumped into bed and fell asleep within 2 minutes of my head hitting the mattress.
