When lying down I raised my arms and moved them. 
Occasionally I closed my eyes. 
I never slept but cat napped like a soldier on duty, or a new mother. 
I had two minders at that stage, Hayley and Cait. 
They lay down opposite me and took it in turns to close their eyes. 
A team of workers were disassembling the stage beside me, party tables etc. 
The museum, though, was open to visitors but there were very few. 
I was on site and presentful, 
I burnt a small hole of energy or intensity in the stairwell, I felt, even by resting on the one spot on the stairs.
