Who wants to be a pirate queen?

My first time seeing The Pirate Queen. This musical was written by the same team that wrote Les Miserables. What did l think of it?  I think it's so important to see, and support community theatre. Do you agree?

I've read a book

I'm back and feeling better. This week l'm talking about books. Not only did l feel unwell last week my hearing was impacted. No hearing on the left and less than 50% on the right. So no audiobooks as my hearing aides are connected to my phone and l couldn't hear it anyway. What did l do? I sat down and read a book.  Let me know if any of you have read either of these books. It's a good thing that my hearing is now back to normal; well, normal for me as l do have issues with my hearing and have worn hearing aides for nearly 10 years. I'm going to a show this weekend and at least l will be able to hear it.  Happy days.

Taking a break

 Hi, l am taking a week off as l have some health issues at the moment.  Hope you are all well

 I'm talking about our galleries today. Do you like going to galleries, do you yourself paint? There are over 100 galleries throughout the suburbs of Melbourne ( l'm not going to list all of them!). Of course there are some very well known exhibitions each year. The National Gallery of Victoria hosts The Winter Masterpiece Exhibition. This year it is the French Masters and l have my ticket booked. I also saw the excellent exhibition by Yayoi Kusama recently. If you want to see Australian art The Ian Potter Museum is the place to go. My painting class is this afternoon, but, l stick to paint by numbers; that's the extent of my talent. What are the galleries like where you live?
