Big circles

It has been a week end of music, parties and good friends leaving.

Tan Hauser Gate were on on Friday evening at the Clapham Grand in London where they gave another brillian performance. They immediately turned on the crowd with magic music and brilliant lyrics and surprised us all with some laser lights and fireworks. I really like the way James and the others engage among themselves and the audience.

Oliver's brother Philipp and his girlfriend Silvie were over for the week end. They're great fun and easy going. Together we danced and cheared THG, and went on the following day dancing and chearing Amanda, a special friend and good house mate, who is now sitting on a plane taking her back to New Zealand. And Philipp and Silvie too are back in Munich now. I am left in our living room listening to the parrot of our crazy neighbours, Oliver upstairs, music in my mind and my mind with my friends. A big circle that keeps us going. We're sad when friends leave, happy when we meet them again. And it's just this what makes us go on, wanting to improve life and ourselves, keeping the ones we care about around us.

I am an American born son of an Italian national who left us when I was one. He hated the USA because of the culture and returned to Italy in time to join Mussolini's army and serve in WW II where he became a British POW.
I never saw him. My mother, the American born child of Italian immigrants, raised us as best as she could. My blog has links to International Woman's Day.
