i am picking up that Alun is feeling a bit overwhelmed by my wordiness. well, i am overwhelmed by his fitness and energy and activity ! as he was out running this morning i was flaked out in bed, feeling drained after the intensity of yesterday. i was not physically well and it was an ordeal to get through the several hours in the space. today i am still experiencing dizziness when i move about and right now, at 11-45, i don’t know how i am going to find the energy to even get to the space, never mind perform ! however despite my physical frailty, i am highly motivated and i have spent the last couple of hours, with my Powerbook, propped up in bed, up-dating web-sites and the blog. so i am getting on doing what i do – attempting to understand and clarify what my intentions in making are and attempting to evaluate whether or not i am meeting them.
Alun and i are facing the predictable fact that we do different things better ! that seems a good basis upon which to collaborate and i think we should exploit our differences rather than feeling intimidated by them. i too hope that Alun and i can make time today to spend with our work and talk about what we have done and might do in the next week.
for now though more prosaic matters – is it a good idea to go into the shower feeling so unwell when i am alone – what if i get dizzy and slip over or faint ? that would be a performance !
i do need to get over to Summertown and don’t feel well enough to drive. i shall have to ask my buddy Col to help out. he was a star helping me yesterday and i don’t want to have to trouble him today but i have no choice.
The rain is pattering on the roof (or is it pittering?) here at the venue and I’ve just read Clare’s cry for help. I’m a bit helpless over here in Summertown, but hope the shower goes to plan!
Meanwhile the rain is making a lovely addition to the soundtrack of my feet, especially as I really was out running in the rain this morning.
