...and look who turns up.

 

So, yesterday I mentioned I'd remodelled the back garden.

And in the evening, the neighbours invited themselves round.  Nice.

They suggested that I'd copied the design from The Greek Theatre, in Lochcarron (Scotland), but I couldn't comment.

"The Wife's Mother is staying for the weekend...."

 

It's the rules. Any visit to an ancient Roman or Greek amphitheatre will always involve a middle-aged "wit" thinking he can launch into his pub comedy routine.

If only they could release the wild animals on him.

I think that this the Roman Theatre, Sufetula, Sbeitla, Kasserine Governorate, Tunisia

Slovenské národné divadlo

Yes, as a special treat for all my hundred of mid-European readers, it's a picture of Slovenské národné divadlo.

I don't need to translate that for you?  Doesn't everyone have a smattering of Slovak?

OK : for the less able of you, "Slovak National Theatre"

Bonus -  Cheese Tuesday.


Actually, I had this a couple of day ago, but only just remembered to post it.   This week, my fabulous friend found me a flavorful Finn cheese. A lovely, soft cow's milk cheese, akin to a Camembert.  Soft, double cream texture. Lactic and creamy when young with walnut and mushroom flavours as it matures.

Made by Charlie Westhead from Neal's Yard Creamery which moved from The South East in 1996 to the beautiful location on Dorstone Hill, overlooking the River Wye in Herefordshire.

The texture did slightly remind me of Dairylee Triangle, but the flavour more than made up for that.

And who is this little chap?


Yes, it's slide number 3400, and it's of "Lord Ronald Gower, Stratford."

Well, that's what the slide says. In fact, that's the name of the sculptor (a notorious Uranian), and the subject is William Shakespeare.

Wiki Link.

Street Theatre Showcase


Challenging white-faced mimes for the title of Most Annoying Public Art performers, here we have some kids who decided to put on a puppet show for everyone to enjoy.

Nuke them  Nuke them from orbit.  It's the only way to be sure.

Name That City


Quite a distinctive theatre, but do you know which city or town it's in? Perhaps you've already been there, or perhaps you can work it out.

I had no information on this slide, but I was able to use The Power Of Google to identify it.

Can You? Do you give up ?
