London, Casa, Bad Fuessing…
Hi there, I hope you are well. This week I started it in London which is very north from here, Germany, and I finished the week very south of Germany.
At the beginning of this week I could enjoyed after the concert, few days in London. I was staying at a friend’s flat which is very central in London, just around Soho area. I was processing the last few days of the concert, and also how the concert went. Every time I visit London I get a lot of energy and do a lot of thinking, I really enjoy walking around and discovering little shops and book stores as well as coffee shops. Again, in one of my adventures hunting books I came across a nice new book, well not new, but newly translated into English. A book written by apparently a very famous writer from Japan called Seishi Yokomizo, he wrote over 77 books and I investigated that some of these were also made into movies. The book I bought is “Murder at the Black Cat Cafe” and I finished it already. It is a post war crime novel, really entertaining and the whole story happens in a very peculiar, intriguing part of Japan. I am hooked, so I will search for more translations of his books. While I was searching for other topics at the bookstore, the book just jump in front of my eyes, at one of the corners where it stood with many other copies of the same book both in hard and soft cover. I bought of course the soft cover, the prize just went so much up the other version, although I must admit it looked beautiful.
Then on Tuesday midday I flew back to Germany, took 2 trains to finally get home at midnight. Again a very long trip (around 8 hours) I did on Friday, to and back (Sunday, again 8 hours and 6 trains), from South Germany for a Tenor Gala Concert. It was really a lot of fun, the other 2 colleagues were also Latinos, one I knew from a previews concert called Oscar and a new Peruvian colleague called Rafael. Both are really friendly, and we had a lot of conversations around singing of course and stories from singers and some famous ones, also about our personal lives. Some stories were nice, some other not so nice and some I do not even know if they are true or not. This world of music is intense sometimes, but it is just not about this environment, in general people and situation regardless of the profession could be very intense, unfair, ugly, etc… it is just human nature.
On my trip to Uk I also bought a book called “This is why you dream” by doctor Rahul Jandial, I started it already and it is really interesting, and I really want to know more about the scientific part of them, the explanation that modern science has discovered so far.
This week I continue my daily reading and my morning pages. I did my 4 times a week exercise routine. I hope you are well, take care and see you next week.
