Solange
came over this morning to tell me about her new dog, a little poodle
called Pepin. He was running around her ankles barking. She explained
he used to belong to an elderly lady with dementia who could no
longer take care of him. Solange said the children really like him
but he cried last night and she had to sleep on the sofa with him.
Shame
Laura isn't still here; she would have loved him.
I
managed to run through several pieces this morning for the wedding
gig in September. I really like Corcovado by Antonio Carlos Jobim.
(Rodrigo told me last week how the song is about a guitarist and his
girlfriend who are looking out of their window towards the view of
the mountain in Rio and thinking how beautiful it is). Also ran
through The Girl from Ipanema; everyone seems to know this one.
Another favourite of mine is Quando, Quando, Quando (the original
Tony Renis version, that is). I really like the arrangement of
Cumparsita which Grace Jones sings (I've Seen That Face Before).
Alexander's not too sure of this one, but I think it sounds great.
Walked
to the village and had a beer in Pascal's bar. Not many people out
drinking tonight. Chatted to him about football (his favourite
subject). I'm sure he believed France would win.
Got
back and gave the garden a good watering.
