Feeling pretty bruised after the being-away from my space, places and opportunities for quiet reflection, without which I feel myself going mad. I have known people who become disturbed if they don’t have constant company. I am the other kind, the diametrically opposite kind, who has acted against type for a working lifetime in public view. For many years, I felt I must have been aberrant. Now, as a post-mature former touring-player, I accept this is not aberrance; neither is the opposite condition; nor the states and conditions in between. We are who we are; we may educate and develop what we essentially are; but best to be who we are. If we are a performer, my condition is rarely what the industry requires: more useful for professional endeavours to exemplify an existing model, a stereotype, that functions well in the public gaze, or public staring. Some performers are naturally well-cast and harmonised between who they are, what they do, what is demanded of them. They have my respect. I am not one of them.

It is warmer today than yesterday.

Now, WillyFred needs a lot of love.
