Sometimes there simply don’t seem to be enough hours in the day to be able to do half of what you want. This whole week has been somewhat full of days like that. Upon getting back to the UK I have overwhelmed with administrative work. I expected nothing less yet the expectation of tedium in no way transforms tedium into something else. It remains precisely what it is. It must however be done and I have probably cleared enough of it out the way now in order to return to a creative mindset.
Maybe I exaggerate when I say it is all formalities, I did make re-writes to the text which I got back in Chinese last night and which I will now start to learn. I have six days to put this into my head before I perform next Thursday in Berlin so with some effort it might just stick.
