I’ve taken OB to an auction – he’s there to buy a small [powered truck – the size and style of a mini-bike. I’m not particularly impressed with his choice of lot to bid on. But we go. I find some Lego which I negotiate a good price for. It’s a council surplus auction . We see Mr A’s ex-partner Lee.
I arrange to go to a retreat-like place and learn the finer points of throat singing. She is there to have an operation to her throat to sing more effectively. I am part of the team encouraging her to go through with it. Mr D is also there. At some point the men get nude, to expose their common vulnerability in each others presence. We have a day together – Lee and I – we drive up the coastline of California and look over the sea. It’s a spectacular coast. Later we return to an urban café for the operation performed by Mr P the sound meditation guy.
I am drafted to do a ceremonial separation from her parents/brother. This is done by walking up a hill/mountainside
