We are performing on the platform of Dent Station. I brought swimming trunks & Gary Wilmot snorkel & there was no need. I got the cast to take up violins, euphonia &c. and emulate crow calls but without the transparent sherbet bonbon. Filmed it all & that should enable me to receive a Lump Sum of £9,348.27 from the Arts Council. Heaven knows it’s needed. Interesting conversation with Geoff Boycott at the bar afterwards & he says Britain is now in the same situation as the Falklands & we have to peer hard and long over Peter Mario spatulas – the ones Ted Moult gave me in 1975 – to ensure we are not overrun by treacherous outside forces. I have decided to extract a leaf from the book of the vile Mugabe & print & spend my own money. If the shops don’t like it then hee haw. If Britain wants donkeys it should move to Spain .
