Shopping

Morning walk in Stanmer Park. Still no sign of other birds than magpies! Where are all the song birds?



I shopped for the first time in about six or ten months today. First I kind of got into it, but after about an hour and a half the novelty started to wear off. With the help of a pint of cider I managed to get through the last hour or so, and was happy at the end that I got almost all the things that I set out to buy. And got a glimpse of the sunset, as well.

[em]

The day started with a walk amongst autumn leaves in Stanmer Park.












In the evening we went up in town to see and hear [em], which is a fantastic, young jazz trio of Michael Wollny (piano), Eva Kruse (bass) and Eric Schaeffer (drums), all from Berlin. I may have said this once or twice before during this year, but this was the best gig I've been to this year!! This trio's recordings are fantastic, but they are even more fantastic live, which is not always the case with bands. All three are brilliant musicians - virtuosos - and they play together so tightly you can here them go >PING!< even when they are not making a sound. What a fantastic gig, what a fantastic evening.
