Wood and glass


At the moment I rearrange some pieces of my livingroom- decoration. Many of them are of glass or wooden. I love nature, therefore I love to surround me with wood , glass and pottery -these materials make me feel comfortable.
This vase was a present from a Romanian woman for playing guitar at her party. I love to collect wooden or glassy mementos from journeys and my family and friends know that and so I have a little art collection from all over the world.
Each continent is represented in my flat- the spirit of the big world in my little flat:-)
And I collect shells and special stones as well, but just a few from each country, otherwise the rooms would be overcrowded with all that stuff and that´s what I don´t like .

Again:-(

Too tired for reading, for writing, going out, ....too tired for everything at the moment-except music.It has been a hard week again, have to bring my car to the repairshop next week- again another unwanted thing to do...but my bumper has to be repaired, another driver didn´t realize, that I stopped before a cross-walk, so, the accident wasn´t my fault. Calming to know, but....... But noone was hurt, just the cars are a little bit damaged... had to think of my dad´s accident months ago- but his car was a total loss. But they are/were just cars, they are replaceable...
So I had luck , too. Not a good driving year for my family...

To change my mood I have to listen to some music-
here we go-

I love those 2- Domingo and Villazon with Denver´s "Perhaps love"- I had to sing a duett with a friend of mine during a concert- it was great! Well, in my youth I was a member of different choirs and I had many singing lessons in V. Was really a great time, somtimes I miss it as much as dancing, but I sing as often as possible, although without much training my vocal range is changing from mezzo -soprano to alto-voice...maybe I´ll sing tenor or bass voice one day:-)

Lehar´s "Dein ist mein ganzes Herz"- from the operetta "The Land of Smiles"- with the great A. Netrebko, P. Domingo and R. Villazon

Music really helps a lot to relax and calm down!

Time for everything

Again a week of nearly no writing- but reading. Have to read a lot till March and it´s sometimes hard to get in the mood for a special kind of literature. But I make progress, slowly, but progress is progress. I have to be a bit more satisfied with my work;-) At the moment there is so much to do at work and I want everything to be done as quickly as possible. And then there are the Olympic games... But " there is a time for everything, a season for every activity under heaven"....I know, I know, must be more patient;-)
