Corporate Trump I'm afraid. His taste appears to be extreme 'new money'.

Looks like it's on paper, perhaps waiting for a signwriter to attend?
Whether you like the script or not, some things are unnecessary.

Is it because I'm old or foreign that I was expecting 3 women singing political satire?

She chose well, presume she's working etc. so time or money restricted.
It's a huge effort taking on an older, larger house that hasn't been upgraded for decades.

He's been given the Order of the Boot

Looks like a snowstorm, not practical for the visually impared.

Equally the ballroom could be camouflage-painted and a leylandii hedge planted on all sides.

Ours is around 20 years old and I was researching a replacement recently. Don't like these more modern foam or foam toppers or soft.
I actually found our current 3000 pocket sprung firm matress still for sale in one shop, now costing £800 for a double.
Good luck

She has her skirt on back to front.

Interesting chair; looks like a very solid and heavy height-adjustable, iron-framed old chair (with new seat), the leg ends having been squared off to provide friction.
But no cushioning

Common lawn daisies seem to flower spring to autumn

I enjoyed that Andy. Great job!

Thanks.

I discovered something yesterday. Yuja Wang centres her elbow for left hand jumps!

Bit like a mature juggler who knows to clamp his elbow to his side to minimise the high arm movements that are difficult to control accurately, Yuja reduces to a minimum her high arm movement, and sticks her elbow out so it is the centre of the jumps left and right, improving both her forearm/hand accuracy and speed.
She is a marvel of efficiency, relaxation and speed.

Do you think age allows greater expression of slow & quiet passages?
Yuja Wang is an exception but when you hear her playing Chopin aged 11, it's like she's now already musically in her 90's.

Btw, my old piano teacher bless her, would, through her tears of joy, be shouting at Pressler "raise those wrists" and "none of that curled pinky"
... a classical old school concert pianist was she.

Thanks, if you fancy having a try

Bernard is it this beautiful piece you've learnt?

Shearing of course was blind so would be feeling differently.
I've tried shutting my eyes to play (fail) but often play in near darkness. Same with juggling, can't even run 3 balls with my eyes shut.

Here's the piece

Simple but those left hand jumps are deceptively difficult, for me; though the hardest of his to learn was 'What are you doing for the Rest of your Life'.
Most of his published arrangments are easypeasy and people like the lyrical quality and close notes.

What do you think?

I'd love to live there at least part of the year, stunning apartment, high ceilings, the view.
