The end: always bitter-sweetness. This moment has gone: it will never be here again. In these moments, we are practising our dying.

Noticeable to these eyes: the different cultures of American Crafties & the Euro/Argentinean team.

08.35  Acoustic breakfasting music; followed by electric breakfasting music with several major feedback whistles. The looping was set up as backing for major sustained electric lead over the top of it. This was not a performance I know as ambient, for ambient music my be disregarded or engaged with, or disengaged from. There was no choice with this loud electric music: the demand was to give it attention. There were also tuning issues.

Tom tried hard to get us lost, and failed – but not without several attempts to get off the right road. And we made good time! Driving with Tom is always a learning experience. Tom is bringing The Hellboys to England for a recording session in September 3/4/5 at DGM HQ.

Check-in was superbly straightforward & security clearance rapid. If all air travelling were this straightforward.

Now in the RC Club with e-mail & an inbox of 238…
