One successful day follows another! The new television arrived on Monday, but Tuesday was too wet to go out and collect it and we were away on Wednesday, so yesterday it was. A march down to town, a few shopping things attended to and a visit to the courier was followed by a taxi home with a large but relatively light box. Out with the old and in with the new, all connected to this and that in a few minutes and bluetoothed to the new speaker, so every programme sounds like a cinema performance.
The second success was my piano student battling heroically through the first page and a half of his own, new copy of Mozart’s Sonata in C Major (K 545), not only the first several bars of the first movement, but we also started looking at the second, so I was very happy about that. Then, we tried to rig the Marconi telegraph cables ready to go on Titanic, but I have to say, it almost had me swearing because it was so fiddly, but we managed a rough draft.
The photos today are today. The sight just as I opened the shutters in my office for the first time in several days. Looks like it’s going to be a cloudy morning, though sunshine is promised for later and over the weekend with the temperature due to rise later next week. That’ll be interesting as we’ve had just about every kind of weather except snow this winter so far, a winter which has, as predicted, flown by. Sam’s already at work, the Kali Strata restaurant is already open (as are many other places, including Trata and To Spitiko), and some, of course, have never closed. Which, though, is what I must do for the weekend – I’ll see you back here next week.
