Karlsruhe, Germany

After a productive and somewhat reassuring first rehearsal with Sabine and the band yesterday, it's nice to wake up in Karlsruhe in the knowledge that there's neither any travel nor a concert today! Just another rehearsal to bed in our collaborative Strauss arrangements, and a dinner invitation to look forward to at Sabine's brother, Wolfgang's favourite restaurant and bar. These more released days on tour are most welcome from time to time!Still, lots to be getting on with today on the administrative side of my job. The to-do list never shortens, so I'm feeling that this morning will be extremely productive. First thing's first: a hearty breakfast with an invigorating serving of coffee!
