I like your reference to the Katherine Mansfield story and about the birds on your New Zealand visit. Many people say when they get hearing aids that the first thing they notice is birdsong.

I loved noises of all kinds, rude and sublime! Umberto Tosihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04939504157464234443noreply@blogger.com
