A concert of a friend
Dec. 14th, 2021 09:17 pmLast Sunday I went to the small concert of my friend. She is an amateur but a wonderful singer, and teaches some pupils singing at home. She lives in Saitama prefecture, about 2 hour train ride from my place, so usually I don't visit her often. Though on Sunday she held the concert of two pupils and herself at home so I took trains to go there :)
She lives in an ordinary house, sets her upright piano in the entrance hall. On Sunday they used the hall as a stage, she and her pupils sang some tunes from famous operas, and a few Xmas songs. My friend accompanied the songs on the piano, she was really good at both of singing and piano. I sat on a step of the staircase to listen to them, with a glass of wine in my hand. It was enjoyable :)

There were 5 or 6 friends of my friend, I had not seen any of them before. But after the concert we enjoyed chatting and eating (my friend is also a good cook) together. Most of them were a bit older than me, lively, knowledgeable and enjoyable people. It was really a enjoyable afternoon. And it was the first opportunity for me to meet so many people (there were 9 women) together to enjoy since the beginning of this pandemic - we had worn the masks except when we eat, by the way X(
Then I left there earlier than other people, for I had to take the direct train going back to Yokohama. It's about 8pm when I came home, I was exhausted because of the long train ride and maybe the alcohol I drank after the looong sober months (just, no opportunity to enjoy drinking XD). But I thought ... meeting friends, enjoy talking, eating and drinking together is really important for our life :)
