A morning exercise, new to many, introduced at 08.15.

Breakfast at 09.00.

Meetings called, for The Guitar Circle of Europe with Martin, The LCG with Hernan & the Support Team with Paolo. Paolo is an ideal choice for Kintergarten Guitar. Kindergarten Guitar is not a new area of GC instruction; although naming it so & providing a specialised Buddy will be.

Personal meeting.

T’ai Chi at 12.30.

Lunch at 13.00. Comments & observations presented including Why A Mother’s Opinion Is Unreliable, Although To Be Counted Upon.

Hernan announced a slide-show for 14.45.

T called from Seattle at 14.00. We are both feeling joy. Yesterday was interesting in that lots of small things went wrong, and the large things went right.

The 14.45 slideshow in the Boardroom was of one particular dormitory, a very messy dormitory; and not a dormitory where we might be attentively waiting for our Friend to visit. A new generation is waiting to be told the clean sheets & tidy story, with the linked tale of Clean Shits & Tedious, or The Perils of Translation.

Heroic re-programming of the Solar Voyager worked, not worked, worked, not worked, worked & continued to be refined.

The Guitar Circle of Europe was well received. This ensemble is coming together.

A solid show for The LCG. A good holding-of-the-moment at the end of Schizoid. Not dangerous like last night & not quite intensifying. Sylvain wondered whether we were being bootlegged. This would certainly explain the sense of something not-quite. Everything was going well, but not quite catching fire; not quite taking-off. Not-quite.

Hernan comments that some faces are in the audience every night.

Fabbo post-gig food provided by the Support Team, as is the case every evening.

Into the SergyMobile…
