The day started off in a mildly frustrating manner as I drove to Kingston-upon-Thames in order to do some shopping. I needed a new chin rest and shoulder rest for my violin, so I wandered to Hand Music to purchase these items. This first annoyance was that one of the main car parks in Kingston was shut, so traffic backed up to Hampton Wick adding a good twenty minutes to my journey. The second annoyance was that Hands Music only had a chin rest, having sold out of shoulder rests. Ah well, in the grand scheme of things, it could be worse.
The afternoon showed some improvement as I managed to beat David by 5-1 frames in snooker, although I think he’s improving as almost all the frames went down to black-ball games.
Rounded off the day at Sarah’s to watch The Terminal on DVD with some of the usual suspects. Quite an amusing and moving film, which considered many of life’s questions and problems, from love in its various forms and corruptions, to friendship and trust and personality differences and traits, both good and bad. After the film, we discussed various issues and maybe learnt something new about each other. A good day in retrospect. 🙂
