Wednesday 6th of October, 2004
Hourly
6:30 Rise.
7:00 Doing Tai Chi stretches in the Ballroom, prior to the Sitting at 7:15
8:00 Breakfast. I actually get there on time today, so I can choose a table next to the dulce de leche. I volunteer with Alessandro to wash the teatowels, although there's not that much to do, really. That's after breakfast.
9:00 I'm doing sort of at-a-loose-end-type-stuff, noticing that I haven't got anything particular to do. I had intended to do some clothes washing, but all the washing lines are full. then go to the Tai Chi at 9:30.
10:00 Tai Chi ends.
11:00 Preparation for the performance is going on all around. I shower and change into the closest I have to glad rags.
12:00 The L1 Agglo performance begins. Afterwards comments and observations are invited.
13:00 Lunch.
14:00 I have volunteered for the washing up, which is a bad idea, as I'm out of the loop, washing-up-wise and also there are more volunteers than there is room at the sink. I elect for clearing the dining room, wiping the tables and sweeping the floor. L1 John assists, although I tell him it's really a one person job. As it turns out he was right, as I'm late for the Kitchen Team meeting at 14:30.
15:00 Housework meeting in the Dark Room. Very few of us. I elect for sweeping the top corridor, which I do, with Fumi on Big Broom.
16:00 I complete sweeping the floor, with just enough time for a break before beginning in the kitchen. Alain and I get in an early Tea, as we're going to miss the proper one.
17:00 In the kitchen, chopping onions for a spinach and onion pie. At 17:30 I get a break and go and lie on the porch.
18:00 Return to the Kitchen to receive orders re the Spinach pie, but they're not forthcoming. Stand in the kitchen until 18:20, then we're released just in time to receive instruction on the Form from Luciano.
19:00 I'm washing some clothes and hanging them on the line outside. Perhaps they'll dry overnight. Perhaps not. Perhaps they'll be stolen by elves. Or duendes. Or something.
20:00 The League take the stage. All in black and, for All Or Nothing, at least, in the dark.
21:00 Waiting for the guests to enter the Dining Room.
22:00 Clearing up the Dining Room.
23:00 In the Ballroom with Ignacio and Leo and Mart?n, receiving music. Joy.
