Long day on very little sleep; was up for 21 hours yesterday and barely slept last night, just thinking about dad, and how we're going to deal with this; I thought he was invincible.
Played 4 gigs today; the first 3 were ironically for Cancer Research - a Race for Life event. Quite fitting really, but I vowed not to think too much of it, and just get on with being professional. The first set with Trevor was nice but ignored, then FH's set was mostly new material and it was one of those rare gigs where we were just awful - it just didn't work at all today, the new stuff just didn't quite click. Then a scaled-down Dowsing set, which I think is the best we've played in a while.
Esther is an amazing person; not just for the lengthy late-night call last night, but for being there for me today, she has a remarkable capacity for listening but also raises important questions too.
FH then headed off to Bedford to headline a festival there - we utterly stormed it tonight, so much better than this afternoon. Even the surprise BeeGees cover was a treat. Big audience, proper headline stuff. God we're good, and tonight we got what we deserved. Amazing. This is why I do what I do.
So tired, but god a feeling my brain isn't going to let me sleep just yet.
