Got back home today… I have a week off now to get all my household things back to normal… it is true though: there is no place like home!

It was an early start this morning as soundcheck was at 10 am. Apart from a few minor details all went well and we were done by early afternoon. 
Andy Ross, our manager, and I took ourselves off to a Rene Magritte exhibition in the afternoon. It was so good. My favorite was actually a piece by Van Gogh which just happened to be there too… it just seemed to stick out like a sore thumb to me!
Anyhow, the Groenland Party show went very well. I think we were all a bit nervous as this was just our second show and we were already playing in front of 1800 people – and it was being recorded for television. Once we got going though we all really got into it and had a blast. And as an added bonus we got to play a song together with Herbert Groenemeyer to wrap things up. Everyone was really happy with the show which of course always makes all the effort worthwhile :oP

The journey to Basel went nice and smooth. 
After being picked up by the AVO crew, we got taken to our hotel – which was beautiful – apparently it is the tallest building in Switzerland. In the evening Grönland took us out for a lovely meal – gotta make sure we had enough food in our bellies.

This morning three big boxes arrived containing Psapp merchandise. Lots of T-shirts and a very cool bag – all designed by Galia. They look so good… I doubt it will be any problem selling these! Luckily, Galia managed to recover enough for us to play at The Metro on Oxford Street in London tonight. 
We definitely needed this warm up show before the big TV performance on Friday in Basel, Switzerland! Even though we didn’t get to play our full set because we went on a little late, the show was a success and we were all happy with how it turned out – especially considering it was our debut performance. It’s an early for us all tonight as we are off to Switzerland tomorrow morning…

Todays planned show had to be cancelled as Galia had a severe throat infection. I took the extra time to go for an extensive walk around London again this time concentrating on the Kensington area. After checking out the Food Halls in Harrods, Knightsbridge – which totally blew me away – I went to the Victoria & Albert Museum and then the Natural History Museum both of which were amazing.

My girlfriend Judy has managed to come over from Germany for the weekend.
We went and checked out a cool exhibition at the British Library and then went out to see “Kitty, Daisy & Lewis” play at Cargo in Hoxton. They kicked ass as usual and we had a great time hanging out together :oP

After rehearsals I went out to dinner with my friend Bluey and his family. It was lovely to see them all again.

It was my day off today, so I really tried to make the most of it, as there won’t be many of them during this stint… First of all, I took a walk around the City Of London – checked out some beautiful old churches; the Bank Of England Museum and St. Pauls Cathedral.
After that I took myself off down to the ICA to check out their very cool bookshop – just as I arrived there, there was a huge police and military presence, as the Chinese president had just arrived and was on his way to Buckingham Palace… what a strange coincidence. Anyway, I didn’t manage to get out of the ICA bookstore without buying a few books – no big surprise really.
After that I popped down to Croydon and visited my sister Shereen and my cute little niece, Aaliyah.
On my way home I happened to see a “Greys Anatomy” poster in the tube… this is the first advertising campaign I have seen since knowing that Psapp have done the theme music to the show.
