today's make 30 challenge is 'hands'. i was at the dentist's today and meant to take a photo of my hygienist's hands holding her instruments but the threatening storm made me dash out of the clinic so i could go home. and my hands refused to be photographed today 🥴 but little blue was just lazing around so i thought why not those hands! brilliant, you say?
i went for my dental appointment this afternoon. at the subway station where i had to take a bus to get to my dentist's office, there was a man playing a trumpet, and he seemed to be playing from a book of music that was set up on an easel. the problem is he would make very long pauses as he read the notes, then very often would make a mistake (i knew because it was a popular song he was playing), then he would start again. normally, if i have time, i would stick around to listen. i had quite plenty of time but i thought i'd spend it shopping at the little boutique at the corner of the station's concourse. but i couldn't just walk away, no matter how bad the man was playing. i thought at least he was doing something (unlike the man at the other station who was just sitting on the ground, smoking and begging for $5). my smallest bill was a fiver so i pulled it out from my wallet and walked back to the trumpet-playing man who was by this time playing the first bars of a chuck mangione song. when he saw the fiver i placed on his guitar case, he stopped playing and bowed and placed a hand over his chest, excessively thanked me and blessed me. then he slumped back on the garden chair he had with him (much like what katy would do whenever sue or the jaxter won the pigmania session 😂 on thursdays) fanning himself with his hands which quite amused me.
