LEP! It is bad Feng Shui to have mirrors facing doors, it bounces all the good energy straight back out again.

If this were Washington,D.C. or Nice I might agree with you. But this is the Paris region where it is always cloudy or raining except occasionally between the hours of 7 and 9 p.m. So let it bounce!

Are we talking about Qi or about light? I'm confused.

I'm not a big believer in Feng Shui and I'll tell you why. In the early 1980's I was an investor in a Chinese restaurant in suburban D.C. with two Chinese-American partners. When we were building out one partner said " wait, my father's a Feng Shui Man; he has to approve the layout." So this old guy came and did his thing, gave us his blessing, and we opened. We then proceeded to lose huge amounts of money over the next several years. Not that I blame the Feng Shui Man; unbeknownst to me both of my partners were compulsive gamblers.
That, however, was my first and last experience with Feng Shui.

One data point with extenuating circumstances?

Thanks. As we used to say in the old baseball days; "she's a natural."

That's Raphael's guitar he got for last Christmas and his birthday. It's a fairly inexpensive (150 euros) accoustic which also can be plugged into an amp. We got it from a dealer on ebay.fr. He also has an electric Yamaha which he plays in to rock groups.
Here's a photo from two weeks ago. I hope you can open it.

Actually, he did take the music bac about two weeks ago. He played a lovely classical piano piece, I believe by Liszt.
