A grey day along the valley.
A broad local accent came directly via the telephone, from the other side of the office wall, at 08.26: our Landlord checking to see whether sensation has returned to the lips and muscles around my mouth.
Morning reading I…

Unclean! Unclean!...
Mr. Stormy has the Devil Bug…
… but such is his heroism, Mr. Stormy continues to access the archive for treasures of wonderment & delight…
A catching-up meeting in the kitchen with David. David reports that our auditor has found the figure of unpaid royalties by EMI higher than he had anticipated. This primarily relates to a payment from a former Japanese licensee, long gone, for $100,000 that was put into an account; and the account closed without the payment being accounted for to us.

12.56 David & Robert have been examining our auditor’s report on both BMG & EMI in detail, showing astonishing levels of ineptitude & incompetence. I note, ineptitude & incompetence in accounting & paying due royalties favour the financial positions of both these companies to a significant extent.
16.20 Addressing arisings with Fripp & Fripp Public Speakers. I note, Sister’s claims on behalf of her Brother are inaccurate, more a testament to sibling affection statements of fact.
E-frenzy heroism. The inbox is down to 112. Mucho stuff awaiting…
17.11 David has been working on KC 8-track recordings from 1982 that have surfaced in the archive.

The artist tends to be at the end of the food chain of those who are being fed by their work.
Closing the office. Off to Bredonborough via Romain’s Emporium of Antiquities & Wonder in Wilton.
20.45 Bredonborough.
Home! The car is fully loaded with two items from the Emporium.
To practising.
22.04 Done.
