Thursday 31st July - rain, rain, rainbow

 I haven't got a picture of the rainbow.  I'll have to leave that to your imagination. 

But I was very happy to see the rain, on and off through the day, and then in the evening the sun came out for a short while, and that's when I looked up and saw the rainbow. 

I did draw a picture this morning as a keepsake memory of my outing to the garden centre yesterday;

There were more children of course, but I thought I'd stop at two. I had some difficulty with the faces, so simplified my life by just drawing them from the back... I see I forgot to give the fish in the bottom row any pond weed. I might go back and fix that... or not...

Music

'Do you recognise this tune?' my friend asked, sending me a short audio clip of a friend's young relative playing a piano piece. I pondered for a while after listening. I seemed to hear a flute version in my head, and I was pretty sure it was Bach or one of his contemporaries; a Brandenburg concerto perhaps?

 A few minutes on YouTube and I found it was this

Bach Badinerie played on a keyless Baroque flute. 

This is the piano version the child was playing (he was a lot slower; but it's still tricky even at a steady pace!)
