Something that has not been far from my CD player in a month or more is Mozarts Piano Sonatas played by Alfred Brendel. Prior to that I must have had the CD for nearly a year and never played it -- what a fool I was.

I listen to it and find myself wondering how you can create something so intricate and so beautiful but I really can't fathom it. Unlike so many things where I think that I might, with enough time & patience, learn the knack of it I just can't imagine ever being able to create something this magical.

I'm still not sure how I feel about that.

Oh well, time for bed and let Alfred do his stuff.

Watching Gladiator. I think it's a good film with a fantastic martial score by Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard.

If Lilia ever says to you "Lets go for short walk" then run for your life! You have been warned :-)

It's been a lot of fun wandering hither and thither through the streets of London.  I'd forgotten what an amazing city it can be.  Some of the highlights were lots of good conversation. Some tablet envy. Rehearsals at St. Martin in the Field. Quiche. Unexpectedly Tate Modern. More conversation. Tree lights.  Puddings. Bridges. Even more conversation.

Fellow conspirators were: Alex, Lloyd, Suw, and Lee.
