1.04. I am excited at the prospect of what may happen over the next 48 hours. This however is a creation of my mind based on the flimsiest of evidence and therefore the feeling is a layer upon layers of the disappointment of reality.
Yesterday I forgot to mention the amazing achievement of Lewis Hamilton in winning the Canadian Grand Prix, in being in the first three in all his races and taking a lead in the driver's championship. To often British sporting achievement comprises a single success never to be repeated. There have been remarkable exceptions. Mr Hamilton appears destined to become the exception of exceptions. (I got this right as in 2008 he became World Champion, by a last second piece of luck)
21.10 This has been a 24 hours of three television experiences which may last beyond the moment. At present I am watching the latest Cowell, Britain's got Talent, a programme which I wanted to ignore, but changed my mind after hearing a Five Live Review.
22.05 There were two acts, one last night and one tonight that brought the audience and the judges to tears, An adorable six year old with missing front teeth sang Somewhere over the Rainbow in tune and pitch perfect and without a trace of preciousness. At the end of this evening's programme a 26 year old part time student sang a song written for a brother who died of cancer revealing a moving song, a moving voice and great heart. The child may be too young to cope with such early fame and success, the young man will sell albums and fill concert halls, of that I am as certain of anything which can be called certain.
22.20. This morning Big Brother produced a task requiring the participation of everyone, comprising a large sardine tin full of fishy liquid and bits of fish, in which they had to lay inside of individual fish outfits. Several thought the task very unpleasant but they all participated to their credit although before and afterward the behaviour of the same individuals was obnoxious.
22.30 Earlier in the evening a tall and large young woman who had no confidence in her appearance or in being desirable and lovable put herself through an hour long make over transforming herself in a shortened version of My Fair Lady. In this instance the master used positive reinforcement from the first to last moment of the programme which suggested that this was his approach throughout the process of its creation. There was no breaking down of personality, no criticisms and it was evident that the subject had immediate trust in the advice and judgements and which revealed a unique professional competence in the young presenter reflecting his own abilities and the backroom team.
22.50. Work progress has been slow and weather autumnal.
