Notices by Tales are told (wentale@mastodon.social)

Found the hand written notes from my ancestor. Written at least 100 years ago. reading it on Christmas night and it says ‘after 4 months by boat, we arrived on the eve of the 25 Dec 1851.’ (to South Australia from Hamburg in Germany) What a treasure to hold his letter in my hand now and read that on the anniversary of their immigration. #smallstories

@tellio Then I thought why not? Here is my feldgang. #smallstories #walks for #learning https://youtu.be/Zxo5w0LdzAE

I’m struggling with the map making theme this month. mapvember.com has themes for RPG but my heart is not in it. I don’t get a buzz out of creating fictional maps. I have another idea to recreate the map of my childhood 300acres and the walks we used to do. Visual thinkers is not much use, only in the thinking....gotta get pen to paper. #smallstories

@tellio
I opened the door of our small tin shed in the backyard. He had moved one of my storage tubs into the shed and it was angled, oddly, on top of other things. Inside I saw the outline of written music.

Many memories flooded back. Music played, sessions with others, learning, teachers, scales, emotions, sharing music with others. I wondered why I kept the cello music. I no longer had that instrument now.

I could not throw it out.
I softly closed and locked the tin door.

The office is hot, too hot. The air-con not working again. My brain feels fuzzled, yep, fuzzled and I can't seem to concentrate on work. I sip hot tea. Hoping that it will focus my thoughts.

No good.

I stare at my to do list but it blurs and bounces at the back of my eyeballs. I pickup my glasses and head to the library. It's always cool there.
