Strange days. The parquet started hopping and I had to buy an airdryer. It cost 74 and said it could take 75 centiliter out of the air per day. So far it has taken out 40 per day, and it helps.

I tried to read this 'Black earth' poem by Mandelstam but the words behave strangely and seem to change during the reading, so it is difficult to find out of. "In the early days the ploughland black to blue" (as black as blue?).

(When I came to London in 1997, I arrived at the prebooked address at appointed time but it was let out to somebody else - however, I got another place, in a house called Birley Lodge. I soon found a flat for living - that was at Manor House where I stayed for some months).

Schumann - Piano trio no.2 - Beaux Arts Trio 1966 - it is the sound of the piano.
