A warm, sunny morning, Muffy, coffee and Virginia Woolf! What more could one ask? The orchids are still flowering beautifully. They seem to last forever...
I do love Virginia Woolf as she reminds me of how all-over-the-place my thinking is. Not only thinking, either, but doing. If I'm reading, I ought to be playing the piano, and if I'm playing the piano I ought to be learning some Japanese, and so on. I dart from one thing to another, never satisfied. The computer doesn't help, as it is too easy to spend hours here, looking things up, one after the other.
Emma commented yesterday on how easily my Japanese is coming. All I said was, 'Moshi moshi' to Hugo when he was playing with a toy mobile phone, but she was impressed it slipped out so naturally. Mind you, I think 'moshi moshi' (meaning 'hello') is one of the silliest sayings I've ever heard in any language, which is probably why I remember it. I first heard it spoken by a Frenchwoman in a French movie years ago.

I love this scenery! And I don't know what attracts me more the Muffy, the orchid, Virginia Woolf or coffee, or may be sunbeam covering all of these things...
