“I’m so happy I can’t stop playing!”
And last night suddenly this saying felt so true. I was so happy with my new violin strings, I was so happy with the etudes books I just bought, Sixty studies for the violin by Wohlfahrt and school of mechanism for the violin by Dancla (I’ll be practicing with the new members of the violin section...), I was so happy with the new Strad magazine (and its bonus!) and I was so happy with practicing some passages from J.S. Bach’s partitas for violin solo (after so longtime that the book was kept in the shelf) and a compilation of Swedish folk music, 12 låtar, that, I think, I just played and played and when I stopped, it was already past midnight! Of course I felt bad afterward that I played the violin with full force at that hour, but at least, thankfully, none of my neighbors (nor my housemates) banged on the door and protested ;-) *pheewww*
Earlier in the evening, Fina and I went look for new shelf for my ‘homeless’ books. But we couldn’t find a nice shelf so we went around the shopping mall and as a result I ‘found’ the etudes books by Wohlfahrt and Dancla, and the latest edition of The Strad (as you have read above - and apparently “I’m so happy I can’t stop playing!” was the ultimate result of this unexpected shopping).
That evening was also our third round of eating out in restaurants, after a bit tired of street food... We ate Indonesian food, rice with three kinds of side dishes: tempeh with chilly and lemon basil, water spinach cooked in shrimp paste marinate, and bean sprouts with chilly and salted fish. For the drinks, I loved ginger with palm sugar, and Fina ordered a pot of tea, served traditionally.

Just another self prortrait...from playing the violin till late
