Today, we’re going to leave for Barcelona. This means a two or three hour drive to the airport where we return our rented car. We take a bus to the city center then, go for a meal and check in with our hosts in the evening.

Later on, we visit a record release party with three local acts at the Sala Apolo. Good thing is that all the bands are strictly scheduled and that they always keep to the plan. And that there are enough seats in the back of the venue, so that Nadine doesn’t have to stand all the time. There will be brief support shows by Me And The Bees plus Les Sueques before Da Souza present their new record Gran Salt Endavant.

I almost can’t remember Nadine being awake after 11 pm. Yesterday she was, because the rugby match between USA Perpignan and Albi had a late kick-off. We went there and witnessed a tight 18:13 win for the home site, who thereby managed to keep their hopes for repromotion to the French Top 14 alive. This time, we were not standing in the Pesage with the most dedicated USAP supporters but bought ourselves some seats instead.

Not much action today: we visited Perpignan again, but while my father and Arja went strolling around town, Nadine and me just stayed in our favourite bar and took a rest. Nadine still needs these breaks and is sleeping for 10 maybe 12 hours a day. That’s exactly what she did in the afternoon when we went to the beach again…
