cold mountain concert (73/365g)

Our "Schoeckl Quartet" had a concert this evening in st. Radegund...... before that... er.... don't remember. Kids were at Singschul' all day.  Felix came to the concert and hid his head in his hands while we played. It went well. I didn't speak so well. I was really stressed by the quartet by Traiger, specifically his use of rhythms. Ugg. The church was also awfully cold. They served plain bread without butter or anything else afterwards. That should be illegal.

henrik's concert (72/365g)

more outdoor hours in kunstgarten. Was in charge of the kids quartet where we worked on shostakovich and a new Tango, and then back to work where I edited a voice over for our ausstellung this weekend. I had to get to Henrik concert in the evening. He is out of the hospital and even gave the introduction to his works. A lot of people there I think don't know he just had a major operation a few days ago. 

I had another wardrobe malfunction, Brian brought me a change of clothes. The bathroom of the kultursalon has beeen turned mixed gendered and that really annoys me. Concert full of people I know from various places, specifically Ruud, Mario, a Dad from singschul, Eva B, a violinist who came to our last contra, and many more. Was really fun and I was glad I went. 

the party hasn't aged well (71/365g)

lots of out-door cleaning hours at work, in the sun, getting ready for this weekend's first outside event of the year. Really wonderful to be outside on such a lovely day. had a wardrobe malfunction and met Felix with the bike so that I can quick get my stuff in order before going to my baroque lesson and Kammermusik. 

Felix and I take "The Party" and "Tampopo" our of the library. Decide on watching "The Party" with the kids in the evening to mixed reviews - i really don't think it's aged very well.

more new pieces (70/365g)

Woke up already exhausted. So tired and over-socialized from the last few days that I welcomed an extra hour off before going to Eva J's for a rehearsal at her place. She made dinner which we had in the sun on her terrace - sweet potatoes and beans and salad. Sweet potatoes are still relatively a novelty here. She cooks very weird - she apparently can't have a lot of things that are normal for me like onions, garlic or certain cheeses. We played more new pieces she wrote. She really writes a LOT - it's impressive - but I also insisted that we rehearse and not just always cram more new pieces onto the roster.

why you have to leave me? (69/365g)

I don't really like the time before departure - the packing and the discussions about packing, and especially the discussions about time - what time it is, when we have to leave, how much time we have left etc.

Today it was double - first Rainer left and then Mary with her family... I went from the train station to work, and it was such a beautiful day that i spent my time at kunstgarten cleaning. Although I was completely beat I stopped by the lkh to visit Henrik who was in hospital. Tomorrow he has a major operation and today he was in dialysis. it took me more than an hour to find him at the hospital. i hate that place. the people were nice though - visiting hours were only until 18:00 and although I got there quite a bit later, they let me stay as long as I wanted. I wished him all the best for his operation and went home exhausted.

too little time (68/365g)

Monday with Rainer and Mary and Centa, Brian was really busy but we did lots of nice hanging out. Rainer distributed Thai pillows and Thai coffee. We "played" Rubiks cubes with Jacob. Agnes, Theodore and Henry biked out with Rainer to show him the organs, and to play pool until way past their bedtimes. It was a wonderful fun-filled day where the biggest stress was that the day was too short!

Frauentag (67/365g)

For Frauentag: I made a flower meme. 

According to standard data analysis practices.... With yellow being men and red being women.... This is either a bouquet of yellow flowers, with the red exception which can be safely ignored.... Ooor.... A bouquet of orange flowers.

Rainer arrived early this morning. I had a reheasal in Frohnleiten with Katja and the quartet. Mary arrived with her kids while I was still out. We made dinner and hung around. Carina visited too, and met Rainer and Mary and Centa for the first time. She was lovely, but she told us stories that made our hair stand on edge. We stayed up till nearly 2am, at which point I totally crashed, I was asleep before Carina wrote to tell me she had walked home safely.
