Sowed flax and nasturtiums. The dwarf peas are starting to shoot.

It is currently so sunny that I have moved the chillies into the bathroom, which is now acting as a greenhouse rather than a larder :-D (Still under 60 degrees in here, though; the warmth is all in the sun, not in the spring air.)

I watched Elsa's Land again (via TubiTV this time, a much better experience!), prompted by a comment from DutchS (who has been the obliging recipient of most of my more unhinged Soviet Musketeer fandom and [bounce]ing, from which the blog and my blushes are thus spared). It really is very good and deserved its awards ;-)

But after speculating about its apparent stage origins and how the adaptation might have taken place, the next night I found myself presented by YouTube with none other than a stage performance of Земля Эльзы taking place in a small provincial theatre -- thus proving that Google/YouTube really does read your emails! There are definitely some fascinating differences (Elsa's love-interest has a different name, for a start, although he is very much the same character) in addition to the general 'opening out' of the film into a more cinematic idiom...
