3 Positives

It was a week of ups and downs. Ups for this week:

1. Busy days in the shop - shoppers as well as stories - of lives lived, of courage in the face of adversity, of change. That's the way I like it - people with stories coming in and talking to me, I am honoured. Sometimes I feel my little shop is a sanctuary.

2. New music to listen to: the fantastic 6 CD collection of Alfred Brendel's Shubert, Keith Jarret plays Handel, and Ravel's concerto in G. All piano, all the time.

3. Vindication at city hall, to be continued.

Dear Alfred:

Next: Keith Jarrett.
