Clothespins
"It's always the same with those musicians, they never ever carry clothespins on them"
She was staring straight at me and I could not tell if she was irritated or joking.
"euh I usually don't play outside"
Heck, I usually don't play at all. Calling me a musician is really too much honour for a flutist that hardly manages to get her flute out of the box 3 times a year. Fortunately the former director of the former youth choir in my home town who is currently directing a solidarity choir from Ghent still e-mails me now and then allowing me to get my flute out of the box if my schedule permits.
Today we were singing at the opening of a new B&B in Oud-Heverlee, a village in the forests just south of Leuven. A big house nicely restored at the edge of the woods, art from befriended local artists in the rooms and garden, a pizza oven next to the terrace, a big herb & vegetable garden and many fruit trees as a source for jam: "tussen kunst en konfituur (between art and jam...in a Dutch poetic alliteration) seems a nice place to stay.
But if you want to play outside in the garden on a windy day...you need clothespins to attach your music sheets to the music stand :p.
