It is now Tuesday evening and the 6pm 'new' pupil has not materialised. I shall wait till 7.10 just in case I had made a mistake in the diary. Book keeping is yet to be set up and I have neither re read the UWDC folder nor made a list of 'phone contacts.

All is not negative however. The sacred texts chapter is complete and a letter composed and despatched to the Speccie. Last night's tango showed much that is coming together. A joint calecita, rhythmic weight changes and turns with sacada can now be executed 'spontaneously'.

Further, the book by Mawdudi did not throw my thoughts about Islamic fundamentalism into irrelevance and Bill Bryson on Shakespeare is an exemplary storyteller. Sunday's salsa party was enjoyable despite the rough old dance floor. Tomorrow the missed bits from the list, book keeping and UWDC revision will be sorted; the trial of assembling a readable chapter by combining information acquired from recent books with childhood visions has been seen through.

That opens the road ahead for less challenging, but essential chores to be faced tomorrow.

Blogging my 'to do' lists seems a sensible policy. Blogs are easier to recall than scraps of paper or diary entries.
