During the sitting, a sense of a different approach to a particular morning exercise.

The sun is shining. The car is at the front of the building, ready to carry me off to adventures of the day, adventures of the Fripp Family kind with Sister Patricia & Uncle Bill.

20.03    Leaving c. 09.10 for Wimborne. On the way, an insight into using the tetrad in a different way to that I conventionally employ.

Collecting the Sistery Person who is staying with pals at Gravel Hill, Merley, just along from where the Fripp family lived between c. 1949–1954; and then to Southbourne & Uncle Bill. The aim in Patricia coming home is for us to film & record Uncle’s life story. Recently, Alfie Fripp has become the most famous Fripp in the family, and deservedly so. The recent media coverage on Uncle relates to the 65th. Anniversary of the Great Escape from Stalag Luft III.

Uncle Bill was well prepared I…

Uncle Bill, aka Squadron Leader Alfie Fripp (RAF Retd.) is the oldest surviving & longest serving British POW. He now represents not only the Fripp family, but his generation of service people.

Leaving Southbourne c. 15.30, returning Sistery to her pals on Gravel Hill, arriving back at DGM HQ c. 17.50 with an overfull inbox.

20.48    E-fury continuing.

22.08    The inbox is down from 278 to 125. This among them, al old post from the Second Tier Lawyer at Sanctuary Universal who blocked us for 16 months before being overridden by a superior…you cannot expect a company the size of Universal to read or act upon the individual clauses in the contracts of every label it acquires (December 10th. 2008). So, UMG contractual obligations are not quite obligatory because UMG doesn’t read the contract? The answer to this question, according to a Second Tier Lawyer in a position of authority at Sanctuary UMG, is an astonishing yes.

23.41 A severe dent in the inbox; c. 220 emails despatched.

Dribble.
