Bredonborough As we were turning

09.33

Bredonborough.

As we were turning in c. 22.55, WillyFred emerged from slumber-mode under the bed into play mode. Wilf has been very moody for the past few days, so when he is willing-to-engage we make a fuss of this Little Prince.  We stroked his head, massaged his neck and groomed him. Then, suddenly, as if a switch were thrown, he was on his feet. And then he pissed in my face. This is not the first time, but I would prefer if he only pissed on my feet.

Over the road to World HQ and morning reading…

… and now into computing mode…

14.36    Back at 11.45 to see the Minx off for the beginning of this year’s Toyah Band work. Tonight they are in Brighton.

Jacket and trouser alterations. Now I am no longer on the road, an alternative wardrobe becomes available.

An afternoon of packing and final preparation.

Hooray! The Wine Of Silence has arrived…

17.31    A sudden eruption of horror: The Crimson ProjeKct of T Lev, Pat Mastelotto and Adrian Belewbeloid, with their teams, has become The King Crimson ProjeKct for online advertising.

Tony and myself discussed the not-easily-doable name of The Stickmen & The Adrian Belew Power Trio That Do A Set Of King Crimson Music. Tony’s suggestion was ProjeKct Krimson. Mine was The Crimson ProjeKct. We are well aware of what happens on posters, particularly in Russia, where The 21st. Century Schizoid Band became King Crimson. However, The CP is not yet in Russia and here we are.

There is no dispute among the Brothers Crim, but this is how it goes when a good idea moves into a world mediated by commerce: lies are told.

17.56    The Minx will be back in the early hours.

An evening practicing ahead.
