Man Flu

I've caught some kind of lurgy, which my wife thinks is Man Flu. Whatever it is, I'm feeling grotty and sorry for myself. I should have gone to the airport to meet the orchestra but I stayed in bed and M met them on her own. Everyone is in and settled and I'm back in bed, with the sound of one of the violinists practising next door. It's beautiful but I wish he or she would put a sock in it!

(I take that back - it's Stephanie Gonley, the Orchestra leader, and her playing is out of this world - beautiful. She's obviously playing in the bathroom as that's where it's loudest. Either it sounds extra good there or her daughter is asleep in the bedroom. Or both.)

I took a photo from my balcony, looking down to the metro entrance on Kariaski Square. That is the sum total of my efforts with the camera today.

'Night all.
