a bench to home

It rained, sometime very stormy, sometimes sunny. Busy weather. I toyed with the camera in the morning, taking some pictures of items around me. It was fun to see how it captures images. We went out in the afternoon to drop in a workshop and found unexpectedly a nice bench that fits our room. It was also not so expensive. I bought it to take it back to home.

We went out again, having placed the bench in the living. It started to rain heavily. Someone was talking about a rainbow and I went out of the shop to see it by myself. The rainbow was fading. The sky was slowly cleared up.

I felt Liszt’s Mephiso-Walzer is too straightforward today. I am fond
of Ravel’s wits and sarcasm. Beethoven is meditative and fits the mood
in the night. Chopin’s 24 preludes are of a reflective mood. They are
cinematic.
