The latest purchase

Guess what I bought!

It's a used electric piano that I found locally thanks to the internet. I've been rather downcast since I sold my real piano in Le Mans, and I haven't played for over a month. I've lost most of the music from my memory, but I'm happy to be practicing again. I'm going to enroll for piano lessons, but I have to wait for the music center to open sometime around the end of August.

On a less happy note (pun intended!) my mosquito bites from Paramaribo, Suriname are really killing me. I've got 17 bites, all of them around my ankles. The itching is the worst I can every remember-- a flaming itch that smoulders and rages all day long, especially when I walk. Even in French Guiana, we don't have mosquitos that dangerous. I've been having to use a hydrocortisone ointment for the past days but the welts just don't seem to be going down...
