Bredonborough Waking with a sense

14.04

Bredonborough.

Waking with a sense to let go of the proposed GCIRP. This has generated so much witlessness & time-consuming correspondence dealing with well-intentioned, well-meaning irrelevancies & distractions. All in all, taken together, this suggests to me that any attempt to form the Institute at the moment would weigh it down with expectation & demand, and rights believed to be conferred to those who make donations.

And a small number of the Team whose responses have been clean, open & immediate.

Reflection by the back door I…

II...

What’s this?...

Well! A suitcase, courtesy of Air Iberia, just back from Argentina via Madrid & arriving 3 days late.

We have lost 2 of our largest fish. This requires calls to Mr. Pond-Person in Evesham.

19.39  An afternoon drive to Kings Heath, Birmingham, and a visit to Mr. Back Repairer. Changeable weather changed again, to wet…

Returning at the end of the business day, Mr. Pond-Person of Evesham suggested that I empty the pond of 25-50% of its water & refill with fresh, to give its piscine occupants a good chance of surviving before he arrives tomorrow morning.

So, with back just repaired, there I was humping out heavy buckets of dirty water, not recommended for back sufferers, just as a downpour downed, soaking me. What a hero. How I suffer.

19.39  E-frenzying, to add to today’s list of heroic undertakings, and to Dr. Mike…

I woke this morning with the notion of letting go off the Institute & House proposal/s. Having reflected on this during the day, I am inclined to recommend this course of action & invite your response.

On my side, the level of destructive witlessness, cluelessness & imagination revealed in e-mail to me suggests that a formal GC Institute, where its members believe they have rights of various kinds, is a disaster waiting for us to put a lot of work into making happen.
