Fri 20 Apr – Frida Hyvönen
I actually was planning on attending yesterday's concert, that is April the 19th, but it turned out that my showing up at seven PM, half an hour before the performance, had just not been quite early enough to actually get a ticket (what was I expecting - they were practically free - and all the more popular for it). I did luckily get a ticket for the next (and last) performance.
So, on the 20th, there I was standing in the impatient line of French, Swedish and various other fans talking about the upcoming presidential elections and other things I couldn't understand (probably Paris) in the courtyard of the Hotel de Marle, where the Swedish Cultural Center is located, at the heart of the Marais. It was a beautiful Friday evening, and the little garden opposite the Center looked very tempting, in all its flowering and setting sun glory.
How suitable that it should be a Friday...sounds almost like Frida. Frida's day. …
