Musician's view

At the ceilidh band class, the view of the top of my accordion and my feet.

Couldn't shake the anxiety and was awake for a lot of the early morning, still worrying about mum becoming more forgetful and sister S is having a nightmare with a dodgy plumber.

Another lovely bright day though and while Dave cooked veg for later on, I cycled to the farmers' market and Lidl for top-up shopping. Ceilidh band class later working more on arranging Scullion Peasant with Lewis Wood standing in for the normal tutor.

Worrying is so hard to shake off, I feel for you ❤️ Beautiful shot

[Beverley]

The beautiful wooden pattern detail is stunning and lovely leather strap. Lovely to see - great pov.

Hope you can relax this evening.

[Suzanne]

Great evocative photo. I an almost hear the music.

Night worries , I know them well!

And I do like the 'nightmares with a dodgy plumber': that could almost be a book title!

[Margaret Brown]

Super pov and capture, hope relaxation comes your way

[Corinne C]

Wonderful perspective. Hoping things will get smoother for you

Lovely pov! I have similar worries, not re aging parents, but aging brother & SIL - not fun!

[Yao RL]

not much chance to see where you finger go, especially on the left

[william wooderson]

I would love to learn the accordion too, I've always enjoyed the music since hearing it in Venice as a young lad! Fav

[Issi Bannerman]

Dodgy plumbers and forgetful mums - I can understand your anxiety. A lovely image though and I'm sure your music takes your mind off your worries.

[Boxplayer]

@yaorenliu nope, all has to be muscle memory - a lot of practice needed 😆

[Renee Salamon]

Great pov - I don't think I've heard of ceilidh? Such a worrying time for you

[Boxplayer]

@rensala ceilidh is a folk dance, like a barn dance, word borrowed from the Irish/Gaelic

[Renee Salamon]

@boxplayer ahh thanks

[Helen Jane]

Sorry about the anxiety - it takes so much energy from us and achieves nothing but is so difficult to shed. Hope things start to resolve soon.

[Loopy-Lou]

Great photo. I hope all is well for you, and it's great that you have music to provide some distraction.

[Tia]

Nice point of view. Hope your anxiety eases and music offers you some relief.

@casablanca @beverley365 @ankers70 @corinnec @wakelys @brigette @onewing @wendystout @carole_sandford @jamibann @mccarth1 @rensala @bizziebeeme @tiaj1402 thanks for the thoughts and kind words - I just need to keep my overactive brain under control, too many years of stressing makes it go into auto-anxiety-pilot at the slightest provocation

[Kathy A]

Very interesting pov. I feel your worry and know how difficult it is to control it sometimes.
