Reading blogs like this one always makes me feel like a kid with his nose pressed up against the window in a taffy shop! The home we have is the one we will keep, and it is a tract home, which absolutely lets out the wonderful modern designs I am always coming across in my Internet surfing. The only way to achieve something like this for us would be to completely remodel the exterior of the home—and the interior as well! Much too expensive, to be sure! But it’s an idea I find myself fantasizing about from time to time, especially when I see designs like these. There is a real glory to what has been done here, and I thank you for sharing these concepts with us.

The Royal Ballet’s new triple bill, first seen on Wednesday, offers Balanchine’s Agon , made in 1957, the acquisition of Glen Tetley’s Sphinx of 1977 and Wayne McGregor’s new Limen . With bright-eyed insouciance, a programme note declares that “ Sphinx can best be described as modern ballet”, a statement wholly wrong-headed about this display of turgid gymnastics nailed to an unsuspecting Martinu score. Agon is the quintessential “modern ballet”. From the middle of the 20th century it looks both forward and back, as does its score.
Stravinsky’s music speaks of past and present – and future. No less so Balanchine’s dances, rooted in the glorious past of his St Petersburg schooling, displaying the glorious present of his American ballet and (for those with eyes to see) proposing glorious journeys into a future, dance as clear in purpose as Stravinsky’s music. Agon is the single most significant ballet of the 20th century, its roots firm, its fruits a nourishment we ignore at our peril. In this revival it was handsomely danced, Melissa Hamilton’s intense line notably effective in the great duet with Carlos Acosta, its ensemble clean-cut.
