Vivaldi! Yes, *actual* Vivaldi!

So there I was being a tourist in Florence and, thinking as I do with my stomach, looking very hard for the address of the restaurant I had just learnt about thanks to a flyer, and suddenly I hear something familiar. Opus 3, No. 6 in A minor to be precise - and for those of you who knew me back when I had a full head of hair, the same concerto that I had played at my quarter-century birthday bash.

(I'm right posh, me. Violinists and everything.)

Utter perfection, to have my favourite violin piece played for free by a busker in an time-warp Italian city. Then I got the final movement of Summer too, which was totally impressive. Then I got a pizza.

(Verdict on Rome vs Florence: Roman food wins, hands down. But ye gods, it's expensive. Even for those of us earning Brown pesos.)

Hmm. Hungry now. Where is my supper?

I hadn't checked this blog in almost a year because, well, you hadn't updated the thing in over a year. I'll check back in another 12 months or so to see whether you're actually going to continue this trend.
