The Taming of the Shrew and other stories.

I love Shakespeare of course and have read many of his plays,have watched quite a lot of them on the theatre or as movies and even acted in one!I played Helena in Midsummer Night's Dream. That was directed by Kostas Halkias a great actor of the National Theatre of Northern Greece,  who was also acting in Wednesday's performance of the Taming of the Shrew.I really liked Robert Sturua's simple approach with not many elaborate costumes or words.
 When I was 21 I visited England for the first time with my University colleagues. I bought an anthology of Shakespeare's plays from a bookshop in his birthplace Stratford-upon-Avon which is my favourite book ever!I love the way it has the master's plays in it and the beautiful pictures and when I am working on one of his plays I always read it from this book!

 Some blog readers and friends commented that I receive lots of parcels and presents.Well I have to say that I also send many!!!But I don't usually show those!
So this week I received two fridge magnets from a friend who went to Egypt for Easter.
 Also two of my recent orders arrived.
This original watercolour painting by Svetlana Rasuleva aka palmeras who also makes fantastic sea glass jewlery.It's called Before the storm!(Exactly what I am afraid of!LOL!)
The other order was from otchipotchi,Paula Valentim's shop.I got two more doily stones as they are going to be discontinued and I really like them and two pebble vases.


Paula makes great little parcels with recycled paper.
And of course some more additions to my balcony flowers in pots.
