Corona Days, week seven. Labour Day. I spent some time working in the kitchen this forenoon. But can it be called work when you are enjoying that work so much? Well, I was cooking my chili con carne, that is quite famous, at least in our family. I was taking all the time it takes to cook a good chili con carne. No hurry, no stress. Just enjoying cooking.
And also enjoying the fantastic kitchen soundtrack. I was listening to the marvelous Spotify playlist Broken Greek: Every Song compiled by this guy Pete Paphides, the renowned English music journalist, radio presenter, book author and record label owner. The playlist in question compiles the songs regarding the story of Paphides’ musical memoir named Broken Greek which was released recently to rave reviews.
Honestly, the tasty guacamole was as always made by my grown-up, lovely, talented daughter, who stays still with us when she’s not in her university town, her elder, likewise great sister has already moved out. And to be frank, I haven’t read Pete Paphides‘ apparently wondrous book yet, I haven’t even bought it yet. Will do soon.
But I upgraded my Spotify account extra to premium for listening to Pete Paphides’ playlist without interference, in the correct track order instead of the bothersome random Spotify shuffle and without being annoyed by naff advertising. Just the songs. Surprisingly, I spotted many songs being important in Pete’s upbringing and adult life, that were equally important to me. It is the music that counts. Notwithstanding this crazy thing called Brexit nor the vicious Corona virus. It is the music that keeps us together.
