SomersetHaus day 12

It's Sunday, we had a leisurely morning eating breakfast in the sun, writing, reading, thinking. At SH Jon got excited about the language of the river and our Inland Revenue space... taxes, currency, river currents, tax levies, river levies, death and taxes, boatman, the Stix, undertow,tax haven, what the river takes away, deposits ... the richness of the dominating features were showing themselves. At 4pm we met Grace Simmonds, studying an MA in performance, architecture and other extraordinary corners, we brought her into the space and into the dark. We talked ideas at breakneck speed. I asked Grace of other possible KlangHaus spaces in London, she immediately put forward Balfron Tower in Poplar. We took things slightly slower today. Ideally we would have had a day off, but coming towards the end of our time at SH spurred us on. In Edinburgh our Mondays off were very powerful and rejuvenating. Highly recommended.
