Ash Wednesday

9.00 am. The West Classroom, Old College: third-year fine art tutorials. The traces of organisation; pictorial absences; markers of boundary:

Good to see Georgina back, and in first-gear already:

10.15 am. Back at the mothership for undergraduate dissertation tutorials and an impromptu ‘conversation’ with an earnest ISP, third-year student, peppered with responses to requests for student references. In the background, preparations for a Visiting Day were underway, while Dyfed Alarms continued to execute an extensive upgrade to the security system:

1.40 pm. Reference dispatched. My anticipated afternoon in the studio. I began by making some minor, necessary adjustments to section 6, and completed the collage of the ‘voice of God’. I discerned the need of an extended and far more frightening trumpet section. This is a task for Friday.

6.30 pm. Practise session 1.  7.30 pm. A rather involved reference for a student needed to be begun. I’d received an encouraging response to my conspectus from the publisher. Now, I’m charged with looking for a co-editor. Full-steam ahead.
