[Leica] My unconfined today walk

To avoid causing Lluis the embarrassment of having to explain, I should 
confess that I liked his work so much that I gave him my Noctilux. I 
realized that I hadn't used it in 20 years, and knew that he could make 
it sing.

(Pour éviter à Lluis d'avoir à expliquer, je dois admettre que j'ai 
tellement aimé ses photos que je lui ai donné mon Nocti. J'ai réalisé 
que je ne l'avais pas utilisé pendant 20 ans et je savais qu'il pouvait 
le faire chanter l'opéra.)

I note that the direct French translation of "make it sing", "le faire 
chanter", is a figure of speech implying Mafia and not music. But I am 
pretty sure that, like me, Lluis loves opera.
