accompanied by audrey on my trip to the bridge this morning
two men fishing underneath it
she told me that she has never heard this hungarian tune which is played daily, and has lived here all her life
now I have to check if it really has been played every day since 1918
or is that another myth I have invented?
we made a time for me to speak with her two english classes at the gimnazium (high school) on friday after my haircut.
Cornelia came to visit this afternoon, she was going to her flute lesson yesterday at the music school. Told me she had wanted her daughter to learn but she wasn't interested, so Cornelia realised that it was her dream and started lessons herself. Her physics class will visit me in the residency studio as part of their seminar in February.
Checked some Australian blogs for news and got very depressed about politics and power - still trying to make sense of the various layers of history in this one small town - connecting to the world outside again is a shock. I guess you can pick anywhere and once you look below the surface there will always be intrigue and interesting characters - but I am happy with my moment in the bubble of sturovo.
