restoration for the souls

wow, i feel much better - i weighed 60kg only on the scale at the old house. nevertheless, the goal is 57.5kg. i had a good 1.5 hours of practising cello; haven't touched a string instrument in ages! i think i want to try getting the calluses back, but right now my fingertips are already in pain, red, and showing white streaks (think it's the blisters coming first).

so, these are the pieces i practised, without the piano/orchestra accompaniment of course:









must. be. able. to. play. again.

then i visited le bon marche to buy a sourdough loaf. i chose the honey and walnut loaf. i don't know how they do it, but you order the bread, then they go to the back of the store as though to retrieve the dough and bake it on the spot for you. except that it takes only ten minutes to get the bread done. i think maybe the bread is flown in half-baked, and then when you order it they finish the baking process in the store.
the loaf cost $7.50. expensive, but worth it. it had a really crunchy and thick crust, and a soft interior dotted randomly with walnut pieces of small blobs of honey. really nice.
