Cluedo - What a treat

-
Image
An early birthday present.  Thank you Suzie for this gift. It was a hoot. I love the theatre; the buzz before the lights dim, the thrill of what is to come. So much better than seeing it on a small screen. The theatre was full and this was a funny play. I have played the game but don't really remember it. Perhaps you have too. Each actor played their part well and played well as a cast. It was a good day. Yum Cha for lunch, and l finally managed to sort of manage chop sticks, and then off to the theatre. What a treat.

Are you team Jane Eyre or team Wuthering Heights?

-

Which team are you on?  I think the real tragedy of these books is that the sisters died so young. Who knows what other books could have been written. Although l have a preference for one novel both of them deserve their reputations. It would have been interesting to see them mature and keep writing. Emily Bronte was only 30 when she died, Charlotte 38. Emily led such a sheltered life and l do admire the imagination of Wuthering Heights.  Let's start a conversation.

Goblin Market

Can l suggest you grab a drink and make yourself comfortable.  Christina Rosetti was an English poet from a very artistic family. This is one of her best known poems and is studied at Universities. The beauty of this poem is that the meaning is unclear. I see sisterhood and a few other themes. Listen to the video, read the poem and let me know what you think it's about. Let's start a conversation.

Stolen in Death

I wasn't going to buy this.  Kept walking past it in the bookshop. Couldn't resist it any longer so number 54 is next on the list to read. This is an author l dip in and out of. Do you do that with authors? At some stage Nora Roberts must run out of ideas. She started this series in 1995. Let me know if you like the J.D Robb series.
