london, aeolian club
from a parcity of clubs years ago to a few really nice music rooms.
london is getting it on. one of the nicest pianos i have ever played.
hardly touch the keys and they leap to meet your fingers.
bells from the spheres
added to a list of new 'sensible' clubs.
that's the best word i can think of.

london to durham
southern ontario in all it's backroads beauty
soft autumn day
how many shades of wheat and browns and mauve

words aloud poetry festival
durham
teeny gem town
chinese restaurant that i would like to shoot a video in
dark wood, mirrors
everything walking distance
art gallery jam-packed with language-loving community
jemini, poet, sister
paul dutton, sounds-singer
me - i read 'clownliness is next to godliness' and 'architecture of bird', sang 'phoenix'
what a crowd, what a night, foggy, warm, stars, still streets, magical place
walked across wooden bridge over fast flowing water, they had white strung lights on bridge, which sparkled on water, no sign of man's ability to make things horrifically ugly. imagine a world where beauty was allowed to flower.
party at 'regency cottage', owner showed me house. circular on both levels - meaning you can walk around in a circle from room to room. centre of house is stairs, foyers.
(for sale - if anyone is looking for something very unique, artistic, can be b&b too.
oh yes, owners fred and judith - he is a antiquarian bookseller, letter press printer.
idea: make a day trip to durham to look at house and all the rare books.

tomorrow, workshop. then watch a poetry slam. i've never been to one. the b&b couldn't lend me their dogs for my bedroom, but they gave me a budgie instead. i wonder how early it wakes up. i can't even hear it breathing.
