Here we come

The QPO (Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra) does not have a yearly schedule, which makes it very difficult to plan more than a few weeks in advance. We decided that since that is the case, I should organize my work independently of my husband and hope that everything fits together like a puzzle. Thus, I have not taken on any small gigs this year, thereby limiting my work to larger blocks that make it worth while to go back to Europe (in other words, work that is long enough to pay substantially more than my plane ticket).

One benefit to the lack of planning, is that once in a while we are pleasantly surprised. Work gets cancelled and Erik still gets paid. Yesterday we found out that a concert on December 19th, the last of the year, has been cancelled. Yes, for some inexplicable reason they are still rehearsing, but there is no concert. Erik spent quite a long time on the phone today talking to several people from Turkish Airlines and the result is that we managed to get our tickets to Sweden re-booked and we get to go 'home' two days earlier than originally planned.

Did you hear that, Cedercarlsson-Zeppenjochs? Vi ses den 17:de!!!
