what will i do without my coffee machine? (67/365d)

Early morning short rehearsal of Piazola's Libertango arranged for 5 violas, preparing for an upcoming viola concert that I've played in since I've known Elke.

Before I even left i had a phone chat with pauli and ingrid, who is back from thailand, and who told  stories like about papa speaking from the fridge over skype because mama's laptop overheats easily there. i found that quite funny.

Manuela comes over to see the kids ..... i made her coffee, but the coffee machine was weirdly broken - only a drop at a time, and it had nothing to do with grinding or coffee amount. i was not pleased! Regardless, it was a gorgeous spring day and we sat in the sun on the bench and drank our very strong very slow-brewed coffees and watched the kids play (and fight about) soccer. She brought gifts for all of them in honor of Theodore's recent birthday.

In the evening quintet had a long rehearsal planned, but this time it was Irmtraud who nearly passes out.... and we stopped early. Who will be next?
