Last night, I spent the evening being wined and dined at the Gray's Inn hall in the company of some prestigious barristers and many trainees. The group I sat with consisted of Ahreum, myself, and two other barrister students, one from Kenya and the other English and Iranian descent. I found the conversation pleasant, and the food except for a somewhat misconceived pudding where all very palatable. All in all, a good evening.
What was especially nice was a wonderful musical performance after the dinner – about an hour of Mozart and Dvorak. The players were all talented, and if not the most brilliant, there was nothing to be faulted about the performance. What I found particularly interesting was the rapport the performers seemed to have with each other. Almost like a group of rock and roll musicians, they really knew each other's styles and played together. The glances between the performers were telling, and you could tell they really enjoyed making music together. It was really a fabulous end to a superb evening.
Once more into the breach,
Ben
