It's been so hot here today that, after doing some early shopping in Weststadt, I decided to stay in. I ventured out late afternoon to sit in the Cathedral, where it is always deliciously cool. I hate really hot weather, it makes me feel demented, but I had to catch up on some emailing so today was a good day for that. The photo shows Norbert and Mr Lampe sunbathing on the windowsill. The crop in the field opposite, which I saw first as newly sown shoots, is now recognisable as a crop of beet. The moles seem to have disappeared.
Tomorrow I'm visiting Leipzig, (shame about the heatwave, 32c predicted) but I must visit the Thomaskirche where JS Bach (my man) was Cantor and Director of Music. I shall commune with the great man's spirit, sing his music in my mind and try to stand in his footsteps. I hope to buy a small bust of him to join that of Wolfie Mozart, who already sits on my pc desk in Devizes.
Perhaps I should explain some of my Blog titles, although I expect some of you recognise the similarities. I try to use literary connections, today's title alludes to, "In the Heat of the Night" by John Ball, yesterday's was, "A Long Day's Journey into Night" by Eugene O'Neill and a few days ago I wrote, "Two Men in a Basket" alluding to, "Three Men in a Boat," by Jerome K Jerome. I have to be in a creative mood to do this. Tomorrow I'll post some photos of Leipzig and JS Bach!
