I have a new piano! It's wonderful. I am in love.
I have played and played until I could play no more.

Dad doesn't give compliments. But he paid me a real compliment after I'd fudged my way rather well through the Moonlight Sonata, (bearing in mind I haven't really played a piano for fourteen years). I'd been taught in my childhood by a piano teacher in return for my dad teaching her to drive - or rather, taking her out for driving practice to save her relationship with her husband! Dad asked if I'd had any lessons since, or whether I'd just taught myself after finishing with Edith. When he heard it was the latter, he said "It was a jolly good investment, then, those driving lessons."

My counsellor had asked me where "I" was in all the bustle that's my life. This morning I found the answer.
