Get on with it

Which is exactly what he did, even after a long day at school and a party afterwards.

Meanwhile Agu was playing the harmonica and composing on the piano, desperate to get a trio together - piano, violin and plastic harmonica. I was telling them about Larry Adler. I just remember whenever there was a harmonica playing on the radio or in a film when I was little, it was him. I must find a link.

Otherwise, I seem to have walked a million miles today and had to say goodbye to my friend Ana 'de Leon'. That is how I have to distinguish her from AKHF and my daughter (because I won't say 'step' and she's more than that). I think it sounds rather regal anyway, and we had a good few hours to mull over the year. She is back to Leon tomorrow, over sea and 700km by land to see her family and then get a bit more work over the winter. She is a star worker and a star friend, though I've seen her so little. Because she was working so hard. So many people in this country have to have two or even three lives, the economy being so tourism based.

So I just have to get on with it. Eventually get back to work, and despite everything, with a smile. Today feels like a new beginning.
