Flying laundry

I look at this music score and don't know if I should laugh, or cry maybe (just kidding about the latter). It's all nice and interesting, to practice on Sunday afternoons, to the joy of the neighbours - I guess. For me, it's definitely fun, but maybe a bit of an obligation too. However, I take it calmly as I still have a week to polish it all. My son too. This is one of the pieces he/we will play on the admission exam for one of the music conservatories in one week, and we love it.

Too many little black dots, you can say. So, what about cool white clouds instead? Is it a better view for a Sunday afternoon?

I bet it is. Do you agree with me that this view could be described as "clouds pegged onto an invisible clothesline in the sky"? Some huge clothespins would be needed though, not just my ordinary ones that I used for the bed sheets I washed today. I hung the laundry on the clothesline on the balcony and with the nice breeze, it was drying quickly. There was just one little problem with this laundry & wind combination...

I didn't fasten well one of the bed sheets and it flew away! 😱

Luckily, I saw where it fell. It landed between two awnings on the balcony of one ground-floor apartment, but in a few moments, I didn't see it anymore. It fell again, somewhere, from that initial landing position.

Well, to the joy of the other neighbours, my piano practising was interrupted by this sheet rescue adventure. 😂

The person who lives in that apartment was not at home or didn't want to open me. I tried in some 15 minutes again, but I got the same results. I just heard a dog barking at the sound of the doorbell but there was no one to open the door.

The jokes between us started:

The dog got great entertainment for this afternoon - tearing apart the sheet.

Are you the musician neighbour? In that case, I won't give you back the laundry.

No bed sheet... no piano... the rest of the afternoon was spent on a walk. The first destination was the seashore and later we continued toward a cliff from where I like the views of the bay. The composition that the clouds made above the sea was completely different and less striking from the one above the mountain.

Mister Pigeon, could you please help us with the sheet rescue activity?

So, what happened when we came home?

The end of the story is quite certain. I am sorry, no special surprises. After the walk, we rang the neighbour's doorbell again... the door opened, and a dangerous little chihuahua dog peeked out, followed by a woman who was already holding my sheet in her hands. I am sure she knew what I was there for. My laundry arrived home unscathed.

And what would be the message of this little anecdote?

Always use clothespins and fasten the laundry well. 😂

And if you need to practise the piano: Get up from the screen and continue with the music where you left off, before this whole laundry story started. 🎹

You have sent a communication to the Universe from your subconscious mind that a dog is going to scrap one of your bed sheets... hahahahaha... remember that it does not distinguish between good and bad, it only follows orders.

That of course did not manifest at the moment, but the machinery is already active to make it so... just wait. hahahaha.... 🤣

Very true! You are on the right track!

😅 She has to reprogram that unless she wants a dog to tear up her bedsheet.

Of course. We are all joking. Btw, how nice of you to accompany your son at that important moment.
Good morning to you. It's gonna be all right, little red dot. 😉

Yes, I can be nice sometimes lol 😂
Just another joke, I am glad that can help him a bit in that way, even if it's his playing that will be evaluated and not my part. Others have to find a pianist in advance to accompany them in the exams.

😄 Ay madre! ¿Quieres ser evaluada? Pfffff... 😂 Nada, que tengas un lindo día. Aquí hay apagón programado de 10 a 2 y no pudimos ir al tai chi porque estaba lloviendo.

So amusing !

No telling how many pieces of laundry land on the balconies at the bottom. This may happen every week from someone else above. Then it's just a mystery of which neighbor will be coming to retrieve their flying laundry.

You see, I didn't think about that fact. Maybe that neighbour and all of them living on the ground floor (as they have a bigger, open balcony, like a little patio) indeed have laundry of other neighbours on a regular basis hahaha

Thank goodness the sheet was safe and sound!!!!

I will surely listen at some point to that score on your piano and on your son's violin, it will be beautiful!

I note: always put clothespins on the clothes.... always!🤣

I can imagine the number of bed sheets flying around before the clothespins were invented hahaha 😂

Maybe when we play it one day in the city you live and you are in the audience ;) 🎶 I say one day, as at the moment there are many things to be improved in that piece 😁

So the wind is blowing strongly or maybe the laundry smells so good that they want to bring that bed sheets with them, too bad if fell somewhere, lolol. But it's a good thing the dog didn't wrestling the sheets. Some dogs do that, it's a habit maybe, just like ours, even cats do it too, lol. But at least you learn your lesson there. And you got a nice walk with that pretty sceneries outside. ✨

Ow, ow, that could be the reason, the wind stole the sheet - as it smelled good hahaha
A Sunday afternoon walk is a must in our schedule. And these days the skies were covered with Sahara dust, yesterday finally the wind brought clear air 😇

Your afternoon had everything! Music, sheets flying, dogs, clouds, birds, sea, search and rescue!!!! 🤣. I was clear on the teaching...we have to secure the clothes well when we hang them out 😆.

All the best to your son in the admission test, how beautiful that you can play together with him in that transcendental moment.

Yes, the afternoon had many things, and a lesson I also learned - the basket with the clothespins is a useful thing if you use it well 😂

Thanks, next Monday is the first one, in Valencia. If he doesn't get in then the next city the week after it. Yes, it is good to have a mom who can accompany the soloist hahaha - we can practice together and he doesn't have to pay me for that 😂 but when we perform, or at an exam... how to explain this... you know the feeling, when you watch your child doing something important like a performance or exam, so you are excited and a bit nervous? so, as a mom, I naturally live it in that way but I also have to fully focus on my playing and have a calm mind, so it is really more difficult to play with him than with anyone else. But there is no other person who will know his next movements better than me, so it is perfect that I can accompany him 😇

It will undoubtedly be a success, despite the nerves mixed with so many emotions 🤭. You can be sure he will get into the music conservatory he wants to attend.

de lujo y de fresa 😂

Estamos muy contentos como le han ido los exámenes, pero todo dependerá de la puntuación final y como lo han hecho todos los demás. Ya sabíamos que se iban a presentar 31 aspirantes a max 10 plazas 😁, se espera el milagro para entrar jajaja y seguir practicando para la siguiente ciudad ;)

The second picture in which the white clouds are scattered like cotton wool on the blue sky is very attractive and beautiful to me and I would definitely like to visit on this wonderful place ✨😍

You know @mipiano, I did not reach the time on the beach is that always happens to me, when you're getting used to it you have to leave. Your sea looks like mine and that landscape is beautiful.
As for your clothes, good thing you got your sheet back. If I were your neighbor I wouldn't mind if you played the piano. Greetings, 🥰❤️
