13.36    T’ai Chi at 12.30.

Lunch at 13.00. Martin announced that The Guitar Circle of Europe will be performing this evening at el CAT in Barcelona. This represents a significant shift in The ESP’s performing capacity, that Martin might feel they embody the spirit & identity of The GCE.

15.52    An excellent tea buffet served at 15.30.

Meeting with Hernan to discuss various arisings. LaVanguardia, a leading Catalan newspaper, has a favourable review of yesterday evening’s performance, Hernan reports. For the reviewer, the acoustic Schizoid was the highlight of the show.

The third show of this series was well-spirited, with clunkers. Considered the best so far.

This evening’s performance for Beric: at the beginning of the show, in the mind’s eye, Beric was bright. By the Soundscape, he was beginning to dim. A call from Toyah c. 23.55, as we climbed into the SergyMobile & leave the venue: Beric is beginning to leave, the family around him, T reports.

Arriving back at the monastery.c 00.15…
