A Small Entry
◇ Look! As it turns out I, too, know how to blog from a mobile phone! I'm killing time in the train station at Delft. I have a shift starting in about an hour but I came early, since NS is pretty unreliable. I will forever remember leaving two hours early for an escape room up in Haarlem and arriving a half hour late, though at least the whole party was with me for that. I felt we had almost a warm-up round, figuring out how to get to the escape room, before we could leave from it!
Anyway, they have one of those public pianos here. A man has been at it since I arrived, and he's not bad at all. Jazzy little ragtime songs, though I've not recognised a one of them.
◇ I caught up on reading Umi no Hashiru End Roll. It's a manga about an older woman in her sixties who returns to university after her husband's death to go into film directing. The intergenerational friendships, the anxiety of age, her reflections on her marriage and film are all really good— also, the art is gorgeous. Maybe as someone who is returning to school for a second degree or speaks to me in particular, but I really do think it's good.
◇ A school child has commandeered the piano for scales practice. I thiiiink maybe it's time to walk to my shift now.
