Breakfast and Ashford Visit
Apr. 6th, 2017 10:36 pmWell, in the end i did go for the free breakfast and without having any cereal went for the main full English - two slices of bacon, two eggs, two sausages,beans, mushrooms and tomato with a slice of toast.
I then caught the ten o'clock bus to Faversham and boarded the Ashford bus arriving in the town at eleven to do my one hour observation at the charity shop. I bought six books from them.
I then spent the afternoon sunbathing in Faversham.
Weather wise it was the best day so far. very war,m and sunny and managed to get a nice tan.
When i walked down to the breakfast room this morning i had noticed that Jo,the maintenance cleaner,was feeding the same black cat outside that has become such an icon of our cluster.
That cat sure knows how to be the centre of attention!

Midnight Music
Apr. 6th, 2017 11:55 pmSoon be the witching hour so some music for the night -
Glenn Gould-J.S. Bach-The Goldberg Variations
Glenn Gould - Mozart, Piano Sonata No.13 In D Flat Major K.333 [ 1966 ]
Glenn Gould: Mendelssohn, Songs without words 1
Glenn Gould, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Songs without words (Selection) Opp 19, 85, 30, recordings July 1970
On April 1971, Gould wrote to a fan "I have always felt that among the earlier generation of romantic composers, the most sadly underestimated is Felix Mendelssohn. In my opinion, the precision of craft winch Mendelssohn exhibits, especially in his orchestral music, is equalled by few composers in the 19th century and that craft, moreover, is put at the service of an extraordinarily touching, neo-devotional attitude winch I find particularly alluring".
