"Si sta facendo sempre più tardi"
is one of my favorite books,
written by the Italian writer Antonio Tabucchi.
Even though the English translation
is "It's getting later all the time",
I was not even thinking of Tabucchi's novel
while I wrote the title of this post.
I was reflecting on how everything stays in flux,
the season, the day, life,
how it is getting later all the time, indeed.
I leave you with
Roman Hofstetter's Andante cantabile,
performed by the Berliner Philharmonic
under Carlos Kleber in 1932.
This music and vinyl disk recording capture
what I tried to put in words a thousand times better.
Enjoy!

beautiful light! and a gorgeous smile!
How interesting to hear about this book of Tabucchi's. Coincidentally I've just bought his 'Pereira Maintains' (Sostiene Pereira), having heard great reviews of it, and about to start reading it!
Looks like that fellow is having a pint rather than a coffee. I'm down with that.
I love the idea of thought putting a patch on time! Thanks! :)
I'm thinking Beatles' song of similar title
Love your pictures!
cute guy..
Time certainly flies. All the time. At least for me. ;-)
