08.29 Silence persisted in visiting breakfast.
12.27 One of our visitors left this morning after, from behind my eyes, a useful visiting.
T’ai chi with Luciano at 09.00 but without mosquitoes.
Personal meetings with Level Three at 10.00. Several brought their right hands.
14.44 Comments & silence at lunch. The Level Three Performance Team has called another meeting & whether or not all are having fun is not yet decided. RF has advice for them, but only to be offered if invited to do so. This invitation was not made, being subject to a team discussion. But the kitchen co-ordinator is a happy person after a happy morning of joyful experiences.
20.04 During tea (16.00-16.30) the Level Three performance team had two questions for RF:
1. would he be available for a meeting this evening with them? Yes.
2. Would he give his advice as mentioned at lunchtime? Robert couldn’t remember the advice that had been on offer on lunchtime, but he did know that it would have been especially useful information at this particular part of the course.
Meeting with Visitors + at 16.30. An octotonic scale new to GC & looking at various possibilities with this. An ending circulation in A harmonic minor.
On the way to dinner, the Sisters singing in the church: a blessing.
At dinner a question was asked on the various lengths of courses & their efficacy. A wide-ranging answer was given to this, involving possible future plans & the requirements of holding an extensive-intensive course. External conditions in the world are becoming more difficult. These are no obstacles to work; if anything, the reverse. Nevertheless, for practical matters of travel, returning to employment after an extended leave of absence & finding an appropriate building in England, conditions are more difficult than in the days of Sherborne & the Red Lion House, 35 & 20 years ago.
Great dessert: flan with dulce de leche & cream. My serving was small, but without cream. It was removed & a dessert with cream replaced it, this time of an acceptable size.
Visitors + with Robert at 20.45
Theme with Dr. Mike for Level Three at 21.00.
Level Three Performance Team with Robert at 21.30.
22.30 The meeting with visitors addressed developing variations of the bass lines from the new octotonic scale, and associated leads. The bass lines & offsets are special. Then to the Level Three, who had a question: to be shown what the visitors are working on. This was simply addressed & the Team dealt honourably with the new information.
23.06 Meeting with Hernan addressing current & future arisings, short & mid-term.
It has become evident, during the duration of this course, that the world has changed, again.

Unintentional poverty is wretched."
