Musical notes: Scattered around the market are 18 musical notes painted on walkways, where registered musicians and performers entertain. They stay for an hour at one spot, then move, so you never know where they will be. The chance to perform for a street crowd so appealed to Hilary Hahn, a virtuoso violinist in town to play with the Seattle Symphony, that she got a permit to perform at the market.
It's not always music. I watched a card sharp perform tricks by identifying cards. Since he was selling decks of cards that made his tricks possible, he revealed his secret. One side of the cards was shaved slightly narrower than the other side. When he wanted to find the four aces, all he had to do was insert them in the deck in the opposite direction of the other cards. Their width gave them away.

Unless you are an experienced herpetologist with a need to handle reptiles I don't recommend that you attempt to handle any kind of monitor. I wouldn't attempt to handle one myself except in an emergency. Although they lack venom they are very dangerous - they are a powerhouse of muscle and claws and use them to great effect. They also have plenty of bad bacteria in their mouth and since their bites are often very nasty you don't want to have to battle the subsequent infection.

La nuova stella della Black music Judith Hill torna al Blue Note di Milano il 3 novembre 2022.
Per diversi anni ha fatto da corista per alcuni dei più importanti gruppi e artisti americani, tra cui Stevie Wonder, The Roots, Michael Jackson ed Elton John: sempre su grandissimi palchi, ma mai da protagonista. La sua storia, insieme ad altre, è raccontata nel film 20 Feet from the Stardome, una fotografia sui sacrifici e le fatiche dei ‘backup singers’ di alcuni dei più grandi artisti del nostro tempo.
Nel 2013 arriva la vera svolta per Judith. Decide di partecipare a “The Voice” seguitissimo talent musicale, conquistando il pubblico con la sua voce espressiva, pastosa e piena di soul, candidandosi da subito alla vittoria finale: la superiorità tecnica e artistica della Hill d’altronde è evidentissima.
Judith viene eliminata. L’eliminazione però è quasi un colpo di fortuna, dato che riceve moltissima attenzione dai media, dal pubblico e… da Prince!
Judith passò quindi diversi mesi a Paisley Park a lavorare con il Folletto e con i suoi musicisti di fiducia su quello che sarà il suo primo disco: un concentrato purissimo di funk, soul e r&b, con moltissimi richiami alla ‘old school’ e qualche spunto più moderno.
Al Blue Note presenta i brani del nuovo album Baby I’m Hollywood, uno splendido mix di soul, meravigliose ballate per pianoforte, funk psichedelico.

Note inserted on a separate sheet of paper with my new house insurance. It's the first proper evidence I've seen of the effect of the European referendum on me, directly - without directly attributing it to Brexit.
What it's saying is that I have bought a policy from a company that intends to move its head office from the UK to Luxembourg soon. This means if I have any complaints about their service, the local authorities will only be able to deal with a 'branch' of the company, not the company itself. To do that, I am obliged to consult one of three alternatives, two of whom I have never heard of (because my mother tongue is not French). It could also suggest various other things, but I will leave the viewer to decide what they are.
But what it says to me is that this is the thin end of the wedge. Expect to see more and more of this, particularly as your various insurance policies expire. How are we 'taking back control', if all the smart money is shipping out?
Trim & I just attended a FABULOUS agility seminar by Ronda Carter from the US. I find it hard to write notes at seminars as I take more in by listening.
It seems Trim is the same...she hung on to Ronda's every word.
Let's hope we can do her teaching justice with our training. We'll certainly be trying our best!

I regularly find notes like this in the notebook I keep with me. Until I found this page I had no recollection of jotting this down.
