I've spent most of the week at a conference (the chef at the hotel, a nice man called Jacques, took full responsibility for my food allergies and served me excellent food that was totally safe five times a day for three days), but I've also had time to meet friends two days and go to the opera (Stiffelio - my first Verdi opera). And it's only lunch Friday - I am stepping up the pace for the weekend.
My hermit lifestyle is suffering under this onslaught of activities. I'll have to schedule in me-time soon. But on the upside I am having fun!

Breakfast Thursday - it suddenly snowed. I preferred what it looked like until then... |
Italian opera is cool. It's probably my favorite music genre after black metal and death metal. Verdi was heavy metal of his time >:)

I think you've said that before actually! I had forgotten though.
DeleteStiffelio was censored almost immediately, and hasn't been played in the Nordics until the past two or three years.
I like going to the opera, but the seats at the Royal Opera in Sthlm tend to be rather uncomfortable, especially for someone with a leg length above 60cm. There's simply nowhere to put one's knees.
My kids too say that I tell the same things over and over. Sorry about that. I probably because I'm getting old >;)
DeleteOh, no problem! I had forgotten. And I repeat myself too. :)
