Dear friends of piano music,
nothing, apart from playing the piano of course, keeps
the mind as alive as reading aloud and telling stories. My kids and I like the
stories of Petterson and Findus the Cat. This tomcat celebrates his birthday
three times a year, and a pancake cake is always baked on the occasion. That
sounds like a manageable effort, but of course it is already associated with
the most astonishing turbulence. However, it is still no comparison to the
effort that is usually made for a children's birthday party. A year ago we had
a child's birthday with a total of 13 of these cute little monsters in our
apartment, and even though we were three adults, it was a bit like I had to
take my third state examination. On top of that, I vowed to take a first aid
course for children as soon as possible. Of course, nothing came of it, because
we know what came next ... Corona leads to absurd, surreal situations in our
everyday life. One hears again and again that the police had to move out to
break up a children's birthday party. I imagine this situation to be difficult
and unpleasant for everyone involved. Of course, one wonders why, instead of
inviting another child and having a nice afternoon, the parents have to put on
a huge party with 30 people - in lockdown. So the neighbors call the police,
who certainly don't like to spoil children's birthdays either.
Now, especially younger boys are often the biggest
fans of the police. With our former neighbors, the children liked to press the
emergency button in the elevator, whereupon the neighbor made them believe that
the police would come if they kept pressing this button. The little boy was
thrilled and really pressed the button, because he always wanted to have police
officers in uniform to visit them, he just thought they were great ... I very
much hope that the children whose birthday parties were broken up will at least
be police fans. In any case, we're celebrating a child's birthday today without
children, just to be on the safe side. We'll hit the pot and play blind man's
buff, as I said, sometimes Corona leads to absurd situations, but I can live
with this one. The main thing is that the children are happy and nobody calls
the police ...
With best regards
Kerstin
