Sensuous

26 February — Friday

I went to a chamber music concert on Barrow Street. I walked around the Village after I left the office and passed a music school where they have free weekly concerts. There was a sign advertising one tonight. I bought a souvlaki sandwich and ate it in the park and then went to the concert. Some violin sonatas with piano accompaniment. I don’t know enough about music to say if the performers were good or not. I enjoyed the concert.

A man with a very neatly trimmed beard tried to make small talk with me as I was on my way out. I managed to exchange a few words with him about the music. He invited me to have coffee with him. I said I had to meet my husband but thanked him. He said something pleasant about maybe some other time. I don’t know if he noticed that I don’t wear a wedding ring.

Perhaps I ought to wear a wedding ring.
