A peculiar day

Up! ... at 7 o'clock. As decided yesterday I intentionally refrain from the morning exercise this morning, having particular reason for this.

Head off to Barnet to visit one Secondary School. In short: it's a waste of time & money. I mean, i get what i asked for, a tour of the school, but i actually counted on being shown around by a real teacher, and not two young students. Yes: i had expectation which haven't been met - I am unhappy.

So back home. On my way back I receive some very sad Family news.

I call Barnet & Enfield Local Education Authorities and talk with advisors there. Both sources are very keen to help, and one of them for example proposes to get in touch with the heads of maths in all local schools on my behalf. It could be very useful indeed.

After some phone & internet action I get some food for lunch.

JOTD.

Then I talk with my sister on the phone.

Chris comes over. I introduce him to my flat mates, we have coffee and then work on guitars (17:25-18:50). We ponder the possibility of fixing one day of the week for the meetings, but we'll have to see if it's possible at all with the moving schedules.

... and M will be here with guitar on Sunday, so more guitar work is ahead ...

Colin made some nice dinner and he shares it with me.

I'm very tired and feel heavy in the evening. This heaviness is actually a mixture of several things: body tensions, recurring thoughts, worry... I have an AT lie-down that helps, and then with some supply of fresh energy I deal with some emails, practice DoA, have a good talk with Pawel too.

It's getting late, a quiet evening.
