I saw an incredible documentary about Shakespeare. / myLot

It was done by the BBC. I saw it in the middle of my lunch and only now, after 4 PM, I´ll go and see if I can finish part of it. I have a hard boiled egg and could make an egg salad. But I just could not leave it. It made me want to climb to my second floor where I have my books and bring down all Shakespeare plays I have. But thinking about climbing, I will first check if they have them in the Gutenberg project online. Although I prefer real books, the climbing is not something I like. A couple of weeks ago I was talking with a friend about architecture and I remembered how much I loved I loved those spiral staircases. I´m glad that my husband never accepted to build one of them in our houses. He had a lot of common sense so I bed that he though that those stairs were only for young people. Now I´ll go and finish my lunch, give Luna her dinner and look at the free Shakespeare plays they have online. See you.

Stairs get very problematic as we get older. All the houses here have been built with no stairs, thank goodness.

Where I live laws have changed after a yearly Telethon for the disabled started over 40 years ago. Now buildings have to have ramps and so do sidewalks. I used to have only a tub in my bathroom and had to remodel it and put a shower. with a shower door.

@JudyEv In Santiago, the fist time the Metro was built it did not have a lift nor a mechanical stairway. The rest of the lines have at least lifts (not enough but still some).

@marguicha All new buildings now have to pass regulations too about ramps, lifts, etc. Most public toilets also have a disabled unit.

I never liked spiral staircases, as I fell from one when I was young.

I never climbed on one. But they are so beautiful. Now I know that they are a menace. But then, now I don´t understand tubs either. I could not get up from a tub at my age. When I remodeled my bathroom and took out the tub to have a giant shower, I could have written a poem about it

@marguicha - As much as I always hated spiral staircases I love bath tub. We have both a shower and a bathtub, in winter it is so nice to soak in hot water.

@marguicha He will get 2 weeks of in-home therapy. Our housekeeper can help a little bit.
