I almost (and I do say ALMOST) had a weekend off, but no! The only moment of relaxation consisted of a massage on Saturday, September 12. After this 90-minute break, I went over the last details of our show Poetic Social Mission: Moving Stars and Earth for Water with my creative director, Fernand Rainville, and the executive producer, Martin Dignard.

What’s great is that new artists have confirmed and I find it really encouraging to have such strong support. For certain cities, the show is really well organized and for others, we see that there’s still a lot to do. Luckily for me, I don’t have any hair left on my head to tear out! But it’s all part of the challenge and we knew what to expect, so we’ll deal with it!

On Sunday, we had a little brunch in the American cottage: a good breakfast and Bloody Marys! The atmosphere was very relaxed and friendly, but I had to leave early because I had a work session in the afternoon to film the backup sequences for our show.

The work session finished right on time: I was able to listen to the Italian Grand Prix and talk via Skype to my oldest son, who was celebrating his birthday. I then listened to a few films and went to bed for a nice long sleep.

The week went by so fast. I’m eager to leave for Baikonur now and to start preparing myself mentally for the launch. I can’t wait to live these last moments of preparation. I really am ready!
