Bredonborough.
A busy night with King Crimson. Discussions were being held to address a major reformation, including early members. John Wetton was about, also David Cross and manager David Enthoven. The sense was somewhat different to that of a King Crimson-as-established-band-with-current-repertoire: tonight was more an original-members approach, with stadium venues in mind. In the dream, we never quite got to the meeting. This, a variation on a particular dream-theme where the performance is prejudiced/undermined by various factors and never takes place. Here, the meeting to discuss the reformation-performance was the problem, undermined by various arising and frustrating factors.
Well.
Rising to a grey day, out of the shower and straight across to World HQ where Matthew Gardener is repotting the box topiary, one dying the other prejudiced by mealy-bug infestation.
Fury of the skies!...
Now, rain is falling. The gardener in me welcomes this.
Returning across the Square to morning reading…

Off to a lunch date at The Old Fire Station with Mrs. Minx: a pre-celebration celebration.

Organizing the desk. A Willcox family evening ahead.
21.46 The Willcox family arrived at 18.00 for superb nibbles organized by the Minx. T has won several tv cooking programmes, and in an alternative life-stream has a career as a chef, chocolatier, food-provider of her choice. A recent enquiry on the DGM Guestbook, for the Willcox Bread-And-Butter Pudding Of Terror, Horror And Joy Arising recipe: T is not allowed to divulge this until the programme has gone out. As to when that is, we are currently uninformed as to scheduling.
Following nibbles, over to Bredonborough Abbey where the
English String Orchestra was performing. I hurtled over and sat in the front pew, the Willcox family in the pew behind. Glorious, wonderful, sublime: live music, well conceived, well played: Handel, Mozart, Elgar, Schubert. Not all of this music would I be likely to play at home. But present and available, the music was brought to life. Gratitude.
Home in the rain. To gentle at the end of a wonderful day.
