At 42.6 N it is 29.8 with an impending round of thunderstorms (5:20pm local). I'm enjoying a night off from "The Elixer of Love." Installed an air conditioner and am enjoying some cool dry air before heading out for the evening.
A great day at 59'56"N
The last week the weather has gone from +31 degrees centigrade to -3 and we have had snow in places. Thus I am happy to report that today the temperature has reached about 25 C and it has only dropped to 17 C as it is getting semi-dark outside. Local time is now midnight.
Went to a party at a friends house today, and as as I sat there playing whatever passed trough my mind on an alto recorder, a neighbor called out: Hey kid! I could not hear him so I moved closer... Your playing was really nice. You will see a lot of improvements in a short time. I play the accordion and guitar myself. My wife and I have been sitting here listening to your playing for quite a while. Keep it up!
That is the first compliment I have gotten from a complete stranger, and at the same time it was the first time I have played for a group of friends. Sort of a dream come true, even if I can find a lot of mistakes that I do. This has taken the playing to another phase. It was a kind of a relief.
I ended the day by going down to the beach when we returned home, bringing my alto sax. I live on an small island. Sitting there in the sunset from 9 pm and almost two hours onward I played ballads only for the birds. Wonderful as well.
Gary! I am glad that you are OK and only stuck in ISP-h*ll, I have been there for 6-months during the last year. (Dial-up connection instead of a non-functioning broadband) Spending so much time off-line must be great for your chops
