She is still such a popular writer.  Agatha wrote about 66/67 books and gave the world Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. She also wrote The Mousetrap, a play that is performed today. I actually saw a production of this play last year. Her stories are still be filmed today and they still remain very popular. I'm sure you will have read some of these books. Have a think about it and let me know what your favourite book is.

Remembering a wonderful musician today.  Jacqueliene du Pre was a world famous cello player by the age of 20. Her career was cruely cut short by illness. In her 20's she lost feeling in her fingers and couldn't hold the bow confidentely. She was eventually dagnoised with Multiple Sclerosis. She turned to teaching when she could no longer play befor dying at 42 years of age. Such a promising musical life cut short. I love the cello. It has a wonderful sensual sound that envelops all that listen to this music. I am also thankful for the music Jacqueline left behind. Look at the numerous on You Tube of this wonderful musician playing.

I like ballet.  I'm talking about Georgian ballet today and, if you haven't seen it can l suggest that you do. High energy, wonderful dancing and a style of ballet that has a rich history. Check it out yourself.

I'm going to read The Lord of the Rings books again.  I'm starting with The Fellowship of the Ring. So far, so good. It's been a long time since l read them so it's like l'm starting off new. There have been transport issues this week in Melbourne. Buses replacing trains, and, as l'm housesitting at the moment it affects me. If you see me this week l may look like l'm waiting for a bus but, in fact, 'm travelling with Frodo and Sam. Have you read these books?

102 years old and still sounds as good as the day it was written.  

Couldn't find the group l was going to meet because l had the weeks mixed up.  So what to do.  I walked the streets and saw wonderful street art. The street art festival was on in March and l saw many new pieces. Do you have a street art festival where you live.?
