I've just got in from watching Swan Lake at the Alexandrinsky theatre built in 1725. The theatre was so beautiful, small and cosy and with plush scarlet red velvet seats. I was on the 1st circle in a little booth with 3 other people, It was like the booth which Richard Gere took Julia Roberts to the opera in Pretty Woman. I smiled at the other people in my booth, but they just gave me blank looks, their loss, I didn't offer them any of my M&M's, Anyway the ballet was great, I loved it. The music was gorgeous and the ballet superb. It was all very lovely and elegant.

when I got back to the hostel there was a little letter left for me from Oskana one of the hosts, saying she hoped I had enjoyed the ballet and she just wanted to say bye, how sweet was that !!! they really are sooo great here I doubt I'll get anything like this in Moscow I've been told they are not a friendly lot.

So last cuppa before I go on my merry way, I wish I'd brought less stuff in a smaller case !!!

thank you for your messages they really make me feel I'm still in touch with all my lovely family and friends
