Chinese State Circus.

Today I took my boys to see the Chinese state circus at the corn exchange ,in Cambridge.

It was good to get out for the day,I didn’t have to drive so that was a nice treat too. My friend took us and after my last attempt at driving to Cambridge I was surprised to see that I could remember my way this  time.

The show lasted about an hour and forty minutes,and was full of entertainment ,daring and skill .

which included the Shaolin Wu-Shu Warriors. hoop diving, jar juggling and the Chinese lion dance.

 

The human chandelier was very impressive.

I wonder what kind of training these guys have to do to keep so supple and flexible.

A Close Encounter

when I left Les Gets , the sky was blue and the sun was out, a real gorgeous day.

My flight was delayed for an hour but I didn’t really care ,I had a good book to finish and was in no real hurry to get home.

Towards the end of the flight, while getting ready to land, we were warned that it would be a bumpy landing due to high winds. It was a bit hairy and I was glad when we finally landed as I had started to feel alittle sick.

Getting off the plane , we felt just how windy it was ,as it almost swept us off our feet.

Here in Norfolk, some one had a very close escape , when HIGH-SPEED howling winds blew a wind turbine blade into their  conservatory.

With more and more of these wind turbines going up, it makes you wonder just how safe they really are.
