After the morning's walk, and a short rest, and a round of washing through the machine and the dryer started, put on the suit and the shirt and the tie. A pair of black shoes too, they are new, never worn. They are a year old now.
Take the bus to the railway station, this is the first time in years. Buy a day ticket and go to the platform, the tunnel under the tracks has not changed, it is still platform number six to Munich. It is strange to have to wear a mask, but the railway people are strict. Take the train all the way into Munich central, and then take an underground to the venue. It is great to be in town again, all the liveliness!
Being five minutes early for the show just means that a wait is necessary. The exhibition is in some kind of a Catholic place, it seems to be a hostel of some kind. When the time is right, go in and be greeted by the exhibitor. Look at the paintings and make approving noises, though they are hard to understand. Sorry, no purchases possible. It is a strange show, and it seems as if the paintings are not so great.
There is a pianist, a lady from Japan, and she is marvellous. She plays difficult pieces with great mastery, and attention. Her concentration is enormous.
Thank her for her playing. She is professional. The piano is a Bösendorfer grand piano, and her playing is a dream come true.
She is selling CDs, notice that afterwards. She is a fan of John Cage, and John Lennon too.
But she is much more interesting than the painting.
And just a small point on the side.
If you want to be taken seriously wear a suit shirt and tie. It makes people curious.
