> Yes?

Yes. Rented a house by the Mediterranean Sea (arrived yesterday), got my loving wife and beautiful daughter asleep in the bedroom, ice cold bottle of Grolsch Premium next to me on the terrace, listening to the waves. Life is very good indeed.

Grolsch? Why would you waste such a lovely experience on such a shitty beer?

Grolsch Premium. It's a canny drop.

Brought with me for my listening pleasure the complete chamber music of Johannes Brahms on 12 CDs (yes I still prefer physical media). Currently istening to his sublime piano quintet in F minor.

Nice. I'm off to Bodrum or Izmir in November and then hopefully Greece for a weekend, looking forward to it. Now all I need is the loving wife and kids.

Did you bring something to play CDs on lol or did the place have a player?

I'm planning on rounding off this heavenly evening with the charming clarinet sonata #2 in E flat major.

Got my trusty old portable CD player! Old-fashioned I know but I love poring over the essays in the booklets.

Lovely. But, how does a Catholic priest have a wife and a child?

Companionship, love, and to promulgate God's glorious creation.

Nah, you don't :)

Tonight by the way I'm enjoying a cheeky Shiraz, to the accompaniment of the string sextet #2 (arguably Brahms' supreme masterpiece?).
