Visits to amazing buildings or classic stories? What will be your choice?

Another week has almost passed by and I did not even realize. I have been very confused about the days this week as we had Monday off. Well, at least some of us did. As the weather has not been very good I hope it improves over the weekend, because I have some plans, such as a long walk by the coastline. Fingers crossed that I will be able to do it. It is only couple of miles, eight or something like that. For those of you who do not have any plans at all, guess what? I have a good news! The new What's On is here and it is packed with great ideas for your free time. So lets start with the FREE Jazz concert in the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. The extra-ordinary architecture of the building, the amazing view to the Castle park and a relaxed Jazz session are a great way to start the weekend. What do you think? And we have not finished with visits to great buildings. If you have always been fascinated by the Wales Millenium Centre, we can offer you a tour through this chapel of opera and art. The tour takes place every Sunday, though you will need to pay for the entrance. Monday and Tuesday are full of great classics. On Monday there is one of the biggest theater plays of the twentieth century - 'Mother Courage and her Children' by Bertolt Brecht. The play takes us to Poland during a war and we will travel with the main character, Mother Courage, over twelve years. An adaption of a classic love story based on the book by Thomas Hardy, has been in cinema for a week and I think that 'Far from the Madding Crowd' will be very successful. The lead role is played by Carey Mulligan who has become more and more popular since her success in 'The Great Gatsby.' One of the characters is played by a well-known Welsh actor Michael Sheen. If you go to watch this film please let us know what you think about it! We appreciate every opinion.
Have a nice rest of the week and the weekend of course!
