The region of Worcester around the base of London Road / the cathedral - once a common dream-element, now not so much since I have moved back here. A confused collision of fragments. I cannot remember what order they go in.

Walking under a row of shop awning - where Siam Smile is now - the feel of a market. Looking at the dark sky - it is night-time. Also busy as well - the feel of a Christmas maerket. Now I am past the market, and look to the sky - I am surprised to see here that it is light - still day, even if late afternoon... Perhaps it was an optical illusion caused by the shops awnings?
***
Heading to the cathedral gardens. Late evening - but still sunny - that kind of rich, heavy sun I associate with late summer. I want to go for a walk down by the river - but is it safe to do so so late? An image of people walking aherad of me - I think I decide it is still safe to walk by the river.

Walking near the river with a girl - a young teenager - maybe about 15? She has some connection to people I have known in my past - though unsure what. I am teasing her about where she grew up - on some kind of council estate. She says something that I shouldn't make fun of council estate living\because they are 'all for one and one for all' or something similar. I am shocked. I hadn';t meant for it to be taken that way (or whatever way I was teasing, I can't remember) I tell her that I grew up on a lot of RAF housing estates - not quite council estates but similar I try explaining...
We come up to a large house - ragged and magnificent - in it's own garden, but surrounded by the streets of Worcester. Something pkleasing and attractive about the house. Is this where she used to live?

The dark interior of a shop selling old things. The shop is run by an old woman. I am involved in some kind of performance and need to purchase an animal mask. The shop is full of second hand bric-a-brac and scrappy antiques. The numerous rooms have the feel of some kind of bed and breakfast - is it also a place where actors come to pick up things to use? I am upstairs and most go downstairs - I try to find an animal mask din the main room - other people are there also looking for things to sue in their performance. Suddenly intimidated, I want to leave. Perhaps I can make an animal mask out of papier mache.
