Delightful day (Monday 18/1/2011), had to take car into insurer for repair and had 2 hours to wait before I picked up an hire car. So I walked into the city and was drawn to the mall by the sound of a busker playing lovely lilting melodies most of which I knew the words too. It was a pleasure to spend some time enjoying not only the music but the interactions between strangers. International tourists who were asked to make a request for a song, and spoken to in their own languages…a family that were enrapt by the spell the busker cast on people passing by, so much so that the father and his three delightful children came back and listened, singing to some of the songs, with the daughter doing somersaults and dancing to the music. While playing the pink panther tune, a serious looking man who was walking through the mall and suddenly did dance steps to the music.
Also the gentleman who was hand feeding the wild birds which frequent the mall.
It was truly a magical moment in time. A thoroughly enjoyable hour.
