Anne's Daily Encounters

String section into Brahms

The string section of the Residential Orchestra of Den Haag playing Brahms' 4th symphony at the Sunday noon concert. Monthly this orchestra performs on a Sunday noon what is mostly appreciated by the elderly in the region and they come in big numbers to these concerts. My mum is one of them and I accompanied her as travelling alone becomes a bit tricky for her nowadays.

Mixing with others we spoke with a lady who'd returned to her hometown after a happy lifetime spent with work, beloved one and friends in Paris. She said she'd always lived in Paris city's centre, what resulted in living on 40 m2 (her new home here is twice as big what gives her the sense of living in a palace) and she added that the tiny homes in the citycentre and the lurging dangers of robbery and so in the banlieus make people feel edgy overall in Paris nowadays and she's pleased to be out from there now being a pensioner. What a sober and sad story to hear on life in the city of Love & Light.
