It's April really?

Last week started with more shooting of the film we took part in.In fact we were shooting for 12 hours on Monady. It was tiring!But so fullfilling!

Then there was a fire at a neighbourhood building.

 Fortunately it ended well because of the courageous efforts of these guys.

On Wednesday when April came we had at last a sunny day and we did a custom of welcoming spring and the swallows with the children at school.

 In the afternoon I paid a visit to dear Georgia (aka Ahtida of this blog) because I had won a candle for Easter and went to receive it.
Ahtida was so sweet and so was her little Claudie that kept us company. We had coffee and chatted over everything!We tried some selfies with not much success!

 And I looked around her house which is filled with her beautiful art and colourful details.

 Ahtida gifted me with this gorgeous painting of a seascape!This is so generous of you dear!It will definitely be a statement piece at the beach house.

 And here's my Easter candle!With a little painting on an easel!

I also gave Georgia some muffins and some of my mum's cookies that she really appreciated and I also made her one of my sea glass felted stones.

I so loved meeting this courageous talented lady in person!Don't you love it when blogland friends become real friends?

On Friday was the last day at school before the Easter break and all classes did various crafty things for Easter!

This week was supposed to close with out taking part in the 5000m run that was organized by the municipality. I went and got the things we were going to wear and our participation numbers.
It was a glorious day and I took the chance to walk a bit at our sea front.

 Aren't the skies gloriously painted?

Unfortunately hubby wasn't feeling very well so we ended up in hospital instead of running!But that's life, right? We will try it next time!

Shooting a movie!

Hello dear readers! I know I have become very slow in writing my blogposts but I don't seem to find ever enough time to write it any more! That does not mean that I am planning to stop blogging. I just simply write it whenever I can.
I would like to wish all my friends who celebrate Easter Sunday today to be a very happy one. Ours is next Sunday!
Today I will show you photos from the shootings of a film hubby and I took part in as subs.
It is the film Ouzeri Tsitsanis based on the book with the same title by Yorgos Skabardonis. The film is about the love story of a Jew girl with a Christian man during the World War II. It talks about the extermination of the Jews of Thessaloniki, my city,by Hitler and among all that is the life also of the Greek composer Vasilis Tsitsanis.
There are a lot of great actors and actresses in the film. Tsitsanis is played by hubby's Godson Andreas Konstadinou and the director is Manousos Manousakis.
When it was announced that sub actors are asked to volunteer for the film I sent an e-mail at once. Believe it or not mine was the first out of 10.000 e-mails and messages sent and the person responsible to choose the actors remembered the photos we sent him!Those photos with the map behind our backs!LOL!

Anyway we really wanted to take part in the film because it would be a great experience and so it was indeed! I took part two days (7 and 12 hours of shooting respectively) and hubby took part four days (two more 12-hour shootings).
Here are photos of the shootings.
In the Synagogue.

Unfortunately all of my photos with the actors are not mounting in a straight way so I am not showing them!Sorry.

Reading Challenge 2015-March

You can read all about So little sleeping and so much reading 2015 challenge in this blog post.
In March I only managed to finish one book and I am half way the next one which is rather big and will go in the next month.
So my ninth book for the challenge was a detective story.
It is my favourite Ruth Rendell's Obsession.

This book I gave to the exchange at the coffee meeting of So little sleeping and so much reading. It was a good read if you like Ruth Rendell and detective stories.
