some alien language or other
6:27 - The part that doesn't go to sleep even when sleep takes me, and knows what the time is even without looking at a clock, wakes me up.
6:40 - Rise, shower.
7:00 - Begin breakfast preparation - everything except the actual heating/boiling/grilling. For some reason I'm reminded of preparing breakfast on the last full day of the San Cugat summer course, 2003 - I woke early that day too, dreading the preparation, but when it came to it the preparation with Chris P went so easily that we were able to stop for a break.
7:30 - Sitting.
8:00 - Back to the kitchen for more breakfast-making.
8:15 - Breakfast is served. Joe is back.
9:30 - Listening to circulated pieces.
10:00 - House work - I fold washing, sweep the dining room and stairs and assist Jacek dismantling and taping together two of the bunk beds that will be collected tomorrow. Towards the end Sylvain comes to assist us. I mention that the beds are probably more valuable as gaffer tape than as beds, but I may be wrong, as I've never valued beds as highly as I ought.
12:05 - Complete the work. I sit down at the computer to type this and notice my body sagging.
13:00 - Lunch - spicy pasta by Ignacio. I've now become garrulous.
14:15 - Guitar practice. I find as I'm moving into the left hand work that I'm falling asleep, so I decide to lie down before I fall off the chair.
Nap, then.
16:00 - Tea. Not enough letters for proper words at all today, as the ones that are left are broken, and all that can be spelled out are words in some alien language or other.
After tea, I pay Ignacio and Mariana some money each, which is quite a relief.
Practicing.
19:30 - Dinner (lentil soup by Sylvain) and chocolates.
I have a chat to H, then write an email, then play Askesis and Tiki with Jacek.
