Last night I went to Avet Terterian's 75th anniversary concert conducted by Aram Gharabekian at the new remonded tadron. Mr. Terterian's wife was present and she was very moved. What amazes me about these concerts, apart from the fact that the string orchestra is excellent, is the fact that all sorts of people attend from very young children to the old to students, foreigners etc. It realy is very encouraging and a lot of the consultants from my work share the same opinion.

Today was a glorious day, by far the best we have had this year. Just yesterday I was thinking why is it that Europe is having double digit temperatures and Yerevan is so bloody cold, in fact it snowed very briefly in the morning ever so lightly. But today, after a scrupmtious breakfast at Alex's, off we went to this new cafe called Arcada for coffee, then off to vernisage for a kilim at bargain price and tonight I will be watching Duplex in English.
