Yesterday was full of surprises.
We went to the gym pretty early for us and I have to say the workout was brutal. I pulled my back a couple of months ago and since then have stayed off the weights replacing them with cardio based torture machines.
15 minutes cross trainer on random full shred; 20 minutes on the stair machine (the devil himself created this device); three two minute planks—the longest two minutes you ever experience—finished off with 30 minutes on the walking machine at full incline.
I sweat a lot at the best of times but it’s unseasonably hot and I looked like I had just come out of the shower when the session finished.
and I had some planning to do for our next project and couldn’t resist doing it at our local bar.
We retuned home, turned up and played us a new song he wants to record—which was great.
A couple of hours cleaning and packing guitars was undertaken before making our way to Lisboa for a pre gig dinner at the New Himalaia Nepalese restaurant the off to see Kim Gordon at the beautifully restored Cineteatro Capitólio. I will be writing a review but Starlite made a brief comment on her ‘notes’.
The journey in was horrible as it was rush hour and Waze—our preferred satnav app—took us a tortuous route through the back streets of Lisboa.
Our only vehicle is the Van Of Rock which is a 6m long Volkswagen Crafter and it was hairy to say the least.
Anyway following a most enjoyable, albeit challenging gig, we returned home safe to be greeted by our four hounds.
That’s it… Big day today and will update to in the morning.
