Keyboards
Today I walked a lot, with my mother towards the market but mostly alone. And the music was my sole companion, I listened to Anastacia, to Pharell Williams, to Robbie Wiliams, to Gregory Porter and many more. My taste is rather diverse, small note on the side: tomorrow I will attend Carmen at the Opera in my home town.
I am not very musical, my teacher always told me that I have no voice. But still I enjoy music, without it my life would be rather bland and not so happy. I sometimes smile while walking with the headphones on and I believe that people might think I am a bit unsual :)
But what I miss at the moment is the sound of the keyboards which my husband used to make while practising in his room. I could not hear the music (he was also having his headphones on) but having the blip-blip in the background reminded me that he is there, that I am not alone, that I am happy. Keyboards ...

Motto
"A story is not like a road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you."
