早春二月 Birdsongs

This is a day that I felt it is a day in Spring season. It was very pleasant to do some T'aichi and stretching exercises in the park, it is half term this week in schools, saw some children, not a lot yet as it is still a bit cold. The highlights of today were birdsong time and the first lunch picnic. Had a timing sporting moment, 30 mins on birdsongs jogging, 30 mins a picnic in the sunshine. All worked well. While walking/jogging, heard birdsongs naturally in tune with water flowing from a small man- made water line, not quite a stream, surrounded 1/5 of the park, this is the low level of the park, but birds seem to like this section with more trees and shades, they had a concert together. It was only 30 mins as I could not afford more time today have to be in a disciplined mode in this season. The sunshine was warm, sitting on a bench facing the putting area, with a few ladies having their dogs around, had some light conversation to praise the warm weather. 30 mins picnic lunch worked out well, enjoyed the sunflowers seed roasted on the bread.

I wanted to sing a few words from the traditional Chinese opera, but forgot full sentences, only some words and some melodies. Will practise “牡丹亭”. Will find out some sporting music in the UK, must be interesting.
