It’s a Mozart morning. I have just put on the clarinet concerto in A major to accompany my random thoughts and photos, and to celebrate three mosquito bites in the last five minutes. It’s that time of year again, with flying things, crawling things, and things that go whir in the night. Or not. I woke at three, drenched because the fan was off, and assumed there was a power cut going on. Then I noticed the streetlights were on, and further investigation proved that himself had turned off the fan. It had to go back on again. Trouble is, it’s the wind-tunnel one and too powerful for by the bed, so we’re going on a forage later to see if we can find one that’s a little less aggressive.

It’s also the time for regular returners, though this year, we’ve not seen so many. No-one is getting any younger, and many of our long-standing regulars and friends are unable to travel. It’s sad not to see them (so hello, we’re waving), and it’s sad to see the village square so quiet for June. Mind you, I don’t often see it later in the evenings, and I know some of the tavernas have been very busy, especially last weekend when it was Pentecost.

I have my work cut out for me this morning because the full cover of the next book has come back and so have the layout files. This means, another check through from me, and if all is okay, an upload. If there are some tweaks to the look of the inside of the book, I’ll have to send the files back, but changes only take a few hours. So, not long now, and there will be news of another new release. This is not one of the Symi books, I’ve not done one of them for many years, and maybe I should, but there’s a problem. Two actually. There’s so much I’d like to write but can’t because I want to carry on living here, and the books don’t sell, so what’s the point? I have to put my time to the niche series.

Anyway, those are my rambling thoughts and photos for this mosquito Mozart morning. We’re now on piano concerto 21, and I am reminded we have sonata K454 this afternoon, and my student and I will be revisiting the first movement. As well as finding fans and uploading books I must make a lesson plan.
