I laughed, I cried, I enjoyed the songs, the harmonies, the storyline, the feeling of being onstage that the film presents, the excellent char- acterisations, the humour. I love animation movies. They have the best storylines by far. I enjoy the drawings and if I can, I'd watch the be- hind-the-scenes anecdotes to see how they developed the script, the drawings, the animation, the voice overs etc. I watch a lot of Korean dra- ma. I enjoy the way they act, portray heartbreak, develop characters, their humour in- cluding toilet humour, their settings, the language and their music. One that stands out a lot was "A Korean Od- yssey", a fantasy television series starring three of my most favourite South Korean actors Lee Seung-gi, Cha Se- ung-won, and Oh Yeon-seo. It mixes dark humour, dei- ties, modern day, ghosts with a twist and lots of anticipa- tions. I loved it. I love a huge range of mu- sic, from medieval music like Guillaume De Machaut or Hildegard von Bingen, to Adelle and Ed Sheeran. Songs that bring back loads of memories are "I am Wom- an" by Helen Reddy, "Dancing Queen" of ABBA and "Bohe- mian Rhapsody" of Queen. On the piano, I love playing Mozart, Debussy and Bach. I love listening to it while I'm painting or driving, but the most magical moments are singing and dancing or play- ing the piano onstage. Noth- ing compares. I enjoy anywhere without high rise buildings, cars or roads. I like historical urban spaces, like Florence, but what I en- joyed mostly was sliding down a baby slope on a sledge. I did it for the first time in Austria just before the pandemic hit, and it was so enjoyable. I for- got my age and all responsibil- ities, and just enjoyed playing in the snow. Children and adults were playing having the mountains and trees in the background. It was heavenly and so picturesque. THE Wee Free Men by Ter- ry Pratchett. I love the world he created, his comedy, his timings, his characters, the absurdity, and if you look carefully, his sarcasm. I read books to unwind, and I would always choose a fantasy book that makes me laugh. So, the Discworld series are my go-to books for that. Lately I don't have too much time to read, but with all the grief around us, his books are the perfect antidote.
