The beginning of a stay somewhere is always a time for reflection, before things have started 100% and friends have emerged there is a moment of calm. I had a great summer, but now it's time to swtich gears, to find the steadiness and concentration that my music demands, to find a new rhythm and a new life here.
Yesterday I had a nice last fling with summer, swimming in Lac Leman (Lake Geneva). It was a perfect perfect two hours. Karl and I alternately swam and sunbathed, dozing off in the warm embrace of the sun. The water was crystal clear (the only lake I think I've ever worn goggles in), affording a vision of an underwater paradise of sorts. As the rays of sun glittered through the scene, I felt as though I was in an impressionist painting.
I am very content living here in my apartment--I really lucked out with that. I live in the center of the city, next to the backdoor of the conservatory. My roommate is great. I have a lovely, large bedroom (hint hint, visitors welcome).
