Liz and I spent a lovely week in Banff at the international string quartet competition. Met up with people we had met 3 years previously, heard some beautiful and some challenging music. Who knew I could listen to 10 Hayden and 10 Bartok quartets in two days? Answer - I couldn't. I did hang in for all except one!We were fed and watered well by the Banff School of Fine Arts, although eating is still a challenge for me, with vestiges of the sore mouth from chemo which is not going away in a hurry, and fingernails all falling off. The burn from radiation is now almost gone, like a sunburn and worst under the arms where the sun don't shine. Keeping away from sun is also important now.
Afternoon tea at the Banff Springs Rundle Room with our pals Heather from California and Kay from Minnesota was a real treat until I came to pay, when I was informed my credit cardhad been refused 3 times. Yerks! Turns out my bank had cancelled it for unspecified blanket "security" reasons. So my big sis had to pay for her own (and our) tea. My bank got an earful when I got back to town. Result two new cards and a lesser limit.
