Ann Cleeves

I have said, more than once that l don't like owning books.  They multiply and soon you find there are so many that you need boxes to move them. I also like thinking about a book that has been passed on to someone else and someone else again. So how did l manage to find myself with 3 Ann Cleeves books?? The Raging Storm is a current one, but the other 2 are earlier books that have been re-released. The latest one l bought, A Lesson in Dying, was one l forgot l'd ordered. When l picked it up l had about half an hour to wait for the bus so l started reading it.  Do you remember a few videos ago l was saying that l downloaded an audio book from the library but then returned it because l didn't like the book or the narrators voice. It was set in a school with ex school teachers; well, this book is also set in a school and l liked it.  I read the first chapter and this book is very different to the audio book. Much more in the style l like. So l will get around to reading all 3.

Debussy plays Debussy | Clair de Lune (1913)


As some of you may know l am learning the piano.

The student who's lesson is before mine is 10 years old, and, l was told this week that this sweet little girl started piano lessons at age 4. I'm quite a bit older than that. I wish l had started earlier but it's never too late and l love my lessons.

This is the piece l want to be able to play. Debussy was a wonderful composer and Clair de Lune is such  beautiful, almost ethereal music. This rendition is by Debussy himself.

What a treat.
