AN EVENING OF LOVE ; LIEBE

EIN ABEND BEI DER SOMMERNACHT KONZERT 202ß

An evening at the Summer night Concert 2020

Much to my surprise the amazing summer night concert was held this week , only with a lot less people not the usual 100,000 but only a 100. The event is free but this time tickets were issued for those people that were picked.

Normally it is held end of May or first week in June. but of course things changed .I was not expecting it to be held at all. So like I said a big surprise and a great one. This is what the city is famous for its music and this concert of course.

It was broadcast live  so one could watch it and even though less people it was a beautiful thing to see.

The music was dedicated to LOVE,  what a beautiful way to share such an event.


I am not really a great opera fan, but when the singer sang the Nessun Doma  , the song made famous when Pavarotti sang it,  it was a WOW moment for me made me feel that things will get better, even in these times of the COVID.  

There is hope and love.

Flying high // travel

B  Time to Fly   Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience.  So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada .  And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines.  I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned  and  I won’t be booking any trips with them!  Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs  that should be included , NOT an extra expense.  Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees  then read this report via BBC.  Truthfully people need to tell these companies  NO .  Even a handbag is next to the list.   They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

THIS and THAT//fashion , festival

 Season Changes Well it has finally cooled down which makes it bearable to be outside. Naturally the swimming pools , lakes and rivers have seen plenty o people .  Festivals , Films  and Fashion  The festival season is winding down,  but one that I anxiously wait for is the Venice Film festival. A movie and fashion lover can’t miss it!  The return of Clooney on screen in  Venice with his gorgeous wife is a highlight.  Her fabulous fuchsia gown with the train was stunning . She stole the show!  Of course there were other stars on the red carpet  but no outstanding dresses .  Movies some are getting mentioned . For myself I’m not  sure what I be tempted to watch.  Julia  Roberts new one about college professor sexual harassment is a serious topic . Not light entertainment.  One film with Helen mirren, pierce Brosnan  about senior mystery book club sounds like light entertainment. The actors are all over 60 , s...
