Went out to Stonehenge with the World’s Best Boss and his brother. I decided to take my film SLR camera as it was such a gorgeous day, and see how well I could make the shots turn out. I think there might be some nice stuff in there. Sometime soon I will have to take my collection of film rolls off to be developed so I can find out…

Not sure what the next Dada-related book will be – perhaps the Nancy Perloff Art and the Everyday, perhaps the Dada conference papers I bought from Amazon. There was some interesting stuff in both the Tzara manifesti and Lampisteries though. Definitely worthwhile, even if hard work.

"It’s not bad music, I just hate it", by Frank J Oteri. An interesting concept followed by interesting discussion. Ran out of lunchtime when only half-way through the discussion, but I’ll be back to finish it off later, I hope…

Only 10 pages to go of the Tristan Tzara Lampisteries now. It’s a thin book, but it took me a year to get through the first 6 pages or so, so it feels really good to be nearing the end and the prospect of something fresh.

I’m really enjoying using my film SLR camera. Must use it more often.

L’Infedelta delusa by Haydn – a private performance (!) for djelibeybi’s uncle & aunt’s 60th wedding anniversary in a tiny theatre at a National Trust property near Swindon. Very very fine. Most enjoyable

Wonderful – John Adams conducting Copland’s Billy the Kid suite, and his own Century Rolls and (world premiere) Doctor Atomic symphony. Really fabulous. It’s been ages since I’ve been to a concert. Must do this more often. You can hear the BBC’s recording of this concert at http://www.bbc.co.uk/proms/2007/promsbroadcast/radio/ for the next week.

On the train and at lunchtime. I’ve now finished Tristan Tzara’s Dada manifesti, and am on to his Lampisteries. Not so much note-taking, but still interesting.

For the paper on Satie and Dada I’ve been going to write for an age. It felt good to make profitable use of train- and lunch-time.
