Sleep is for the weak!

... And I so desperately want to be one of the weak...

This orchestra that I'm currently on tour with is known for its punishing schedules. Many times I return more tired than staying at home dealing with the broken nights of a parent with a toddler.

However, this time was a new record. That bed up there was scheduled for roughly 4 hours use, but in reality received about 2 hours of precious sleeping.

An unfortunate combination of a late arrival (concerts in Spain can start very late, last night we began at 2200 and then still had to travel by coach afterwards...) and an early start (very early flight with some coach travel to get to the airport...) meant that it was an incredibly short night. As always, nothing goes exactly to plan... And we ended arriving at the hotel much later than expected.

So, a coach ride and flight and another coach ride to the next destination. With some hours before the next concert to recharge... Hopefully the audience won't notice that we are zombies!
