Friend

Met an old friend today. It has always been a part of my life since childhood but pretty much neglected by me. As childhood and teenage years flew by, my neglect turned into regret. The attempts to reverse the flow were futile. You reap what you sow. This will remain as a great regret in my life: not learning the piano properly when I had the chance to. Not that I have no more chance, but will it be be worth the effort and time to put in now? 

It has been a month since any contact with the piano and it felt really good this afternoon to just rest my hands on the black and white keys. With whatever limited ability I have, I managed to 'play' some of the familiar worship songs. It was an escape. By the way, it was a baby grand piano...love the sound very much but I really wished I could bring more out of it.

Today is the last Friday of October and I have already been in Bristol for close to a month. Time is passing by so quickly and there's so much to read. But hey, first year doesn't count :D Since today's weather was great, I decided to take a walk around Clifton for some shutter pressing, here's one for you.

Thanks for reading!
