… on my first waking day on the West Coast, I look & I see that the Brother was in charge. Looking at how we are today, I can see that the Sister is in charge.
I found myself wondering: how did that come to be? What happened to bring my Sister forward, and her Brother to step backwards?

14.54 Lunch at the Gratitude Café…
This is Patricia’s favourite local eatery, and I had instructions to come here for lunch, instructions accompanied by a Gratitude Café giftcard to pay for arising eating’s. The waitress asked the question of the day…
Q. What inspires you about the time we are living in?
A: That we might participate in a future that is not yet written.
Superb food. I would not have been surprised to find a restaurant such as this in San Francisco in 1969, when I first visited; nor in several places in the US during 1973. But not during the 1980s or 1990s or the Noughties. I will be returning here.

16.25 On the cancelled Crimson Celebrating, to Martha Belewbeloid…
i've let go of this, the wheel has turned & i can't get back into it. perhaps for ade & tony & pat & gavin, all good constant players, Crimson is another version of what they do everyday. it's not like that at all for me. i have to be psyched, or in the Crimson story, f...ing p-syched. to get into a Crimson mindset is a huge undertaking for me, difficult to explain to anyone, including Toyah. it's like, everything else stops for the period. even to get ready for april-may, my focus remains engaged. so, i hadn't switched off from last august. then, for all the reasons we know below, i switched off & a different set of life-parameters come into play. not sure what the future holds, and that works well for me. but, the switch is off.
i'd love to come & visit the Basement again, and ade & your goodself are invited to visit bredonborough - once the new roof is on & the builders have moved out!
18.53 Sister arrived home from travelling c. 17.50. Immediately our legs snapped like whipcords propelling us towards the Gratitude café.
