I think it would be nice to make it a habit to decorate at least one pebble on Sunday afternoons. This is actually just playing in a way, fun for the mind without thinking about plans or serious things. Okay, maybe it could be called procrastination then because I would definitely have something to have fun with that would also be useful hahaha (for example practising the piano).
Well, while we are on the subject of playing the piano, I would like to share with you a little anecdote that happened this morning at the end of my gig. One of the head waiters who was on duty today was joking (actually, he thought it half-seriously) that the Spanish national anthem or some other typically Spanish song should be played today. You know, because of the football match this evening! 馃榿 Since the other day I came across the title of the song Qu茅 viva Espa帽a from the post of one Hiver, who I hope will recognise himself without tagging him, I quickly found the scores for that song and played it at the end, as the last song. I was about to pack when a middle-aged gentleman approached me, handing me a banknote and asking me to play him another song. 馃槄 He didn't know Spanish or English, so he couldn't even tell me the name of the song, so he typed it into his cell phone and showed it to me. I told him I was sorry, but I didn't even know what the song was, let alone play it, to which he just kept saying "please, please". Okay, what can I do - I played him the song as I found the scores on the internet in the meantime, even if it was a disastrous playing in my opinion. But he was happy, so that is what counts...and I got my tip 馃挵馃槀
Back to the main subject - kindness rocks! And the day's main happening here... World Cup final in football! 鈿斤笍 While I was playing that song honouring Spain this morning, I decided I could paint the Spanish flag on a rock for my Spanish Hive friends. And then I remembered, we also have some dear people here from Argentina! I should not forget about them either. That is how white and baby blue colours were painted on this rock.
| white | baby blue |
Of course, as the first idea was the Spanish flag, red and yellow colours also had to be used. The lighter colours, such as white and yellow, always need more than one layer to cover the rock well. Here I am applying the second layer of the yellow colour.
So, two rocks are coming in this post?
Nooooo... it is just one! 馃槀
I wanted to join them somehow, so on one side it is the blue-white flag and on the other side the red-yellow one. As the colours and flags didn't love each other too much, I mean, my lines were not straight, I had to add some stitches. Dots. Like stitches of love! 馃榿
I usually don't watch football, nor have I watched the World Cup, but maybe today I make an exception. Who should win...?
The team which plays better, of course.
Here is that little kindness rock, honouring both teams and countries. Pick your favourite, and flip the rock as you wish! 馃槣
