Mozart, walking and drink in blackpropaganda

As I wrote earlier - Tuesday was a lovely day - but it has gone downhill since then - depressions rushing through bringing wind and rain - and then clearing leaving clear skies when the temperature drops over night.
So the walk today seemed doomed from the start - rain was forecast, with wind, but 16 hardy souls turned out - all well protected against any weather God could throw at us. In fact we walked for over an hour in the dry - and reached our venue for coffee and scone - certainly welcome after battling against the wind, Just after we left the heavens opened - and we all got soaked - the rain finding all the weak points in the weather proofed kit. Still it was an excellent walk - and two hours later we had our monthly wine tasting - twenty odd (!) people tasting three white and four reds from the southern hemisphere - from Chile to South Africa. All from local suppliers - mainly supermarkets, And so I was driven home by SW.. who sniffs but does not drink too much - and as I was watching the tv before tea my eyes were closing. No wonder after all that exercise - and drink!
Makes a change from yesterday when we went into the city and enjoyed an orchestral concert. At one time I though Mozart was all about pretty tunes - but he was the master of evocative music - a genius in making the music bring out emotions. And to think he died in 1791!
So now, since SW.. has gone out - I think I shall just have a little rest - and think great thoughts - or possibly erotic ones.

I went for an exhilarating walk yesterday and watched the snow melt in the warmish afternoon sun. Examined some of the trails to see which might still be icy at night. Glad to hear you had a good time in spite of the rain.

That's great to get out - and to commune with nature again - I nearly did not go because of the potential weather - but so glad I did.
