Sant Cugat, Spain
The Orchestra of Crafty Guitarists
Day 6

Up at 6.20 with the alarm clock. Go to the kitchen to begin with the breakfast team. Two points were made: to make sure knives are there and to do the basics first - both were forgotten. Did anybody mention the theme of communication before?

Short Chi Kung and sitting.

It's a warm and sunny day. Have time to retreat to the room and work on the primaries. Good stuff, my hands feels better.

Most of the nuns that live in this monastery are elderly, some middle aged. I'm wondering what is going to happen to this place in the future, not many young women feel attracted to the monastic life these days.

In the afternoon we go to the venue in Sant Cugat for the the rehearsal and to check out the space of tomorrow's performance.

The dinner is great, and we have a guest. Afterwards i catch up with MC on AT related issues. Today at the rehersal space M was doing her usual 'hands on' work while we were working with guitars. She skipped me, but I didn't feel missed out, or bad about it. Her mere presence helped me to release and it seemed other people needed her work more.

In the evening bake bread with R, I add some walnuts and put some cheese on top.
