a real live gig (105/365e)

Still no Edward - poor guy, he's been sleeping on the floor in an empty house for 2 weeks now. 

Went for a short walk with Brigitta and then to interspar for 300euros worth of groceries, mostly pantry staples. (because we had a ridiculous coupon) Interspar was overwhelming and didn't have much of a better selection. then we biked home with all that stuff on our back. 

When we returned, all our kids were quietly doing homework on their own. I was amazed. Everyone helped put things away, and everyone did their chores before going to asp. 

I had a real gig in the evening. It was so nice. There was no audience, really, there were speeches and a guy to video it for a anniversary celebration for some verein. the people that were done speaking could have left if they wanted to but they stayed and were in awe of the music and just sat still and listened. occasionally we heard a whispered "man can they ever play" and "isn't it nice to have live music again?" They had real food. 5 course dinner, but we could not mingle or sit down. we stayed at our table and enjoyed our first real dinner "out" since last august.

Jacky helped me at night with an email for customs.... A big box is coming from aunt frieda's estate. the things are worth nothing and have already cost about 10 times their value to ship. Now I am afraid it will cost that much again to accept the shipment.
