Circus

I just love the circus there is something, so exciting about going to the circus, it seems like a life full of adventure, of travel of meeting new people everyday, i am sure however that if you ask the people in the circus they would have a completely different story to tell.

My daughter had seen the circus and she asked if we could go, to make sure that we got a good place i phoned to book a "good seat" we had to pick up the tickets 1 hour before the show started.......... which was really silly, because the place was only half full.

We were shown to our seats, i did not realise that i had booked the VIP seats, and they were in the front row, right opposite the curtain the best seats in the house or so we thought.............

The people next to us were really strange the lady had on a tiny and i mean tiny black sequined dress so short that if she coughed you would see what she had for breakfast............. with high heeled shoes she wobbled herself to her seat......... the best is yet to come ...............

We were about two seconds into the show when the heavens opened, i don't mean just rain i mean sheets of water and i of course would be sitting under the only hole in the entire tent, you will be amazed at how wet one tiny drop of water can make you, i had to move up and up and up...................

I had gone to work in the morning in a skirt and high heeled shoes, but had felt uncomfortable about going to the circus in a skirt, and thank goodness i could have looked the lady in the black sequinned dress, so my daughter and i went to the local store and bought a cheap pair of plastic shoes the only pair in a size 7, and a cheap pair of black 3/4 pants................. which i went into the docters car park and quickly changed before we went to the circus........ i am so glad, because 15 minutes into the rain storm a river started flowing from the back of the tent, under our chair and into the arena................. one minute my feet were dry the next minute we were wet up to our ankles............. obviously we had to move as they began digging up the front to divert the water away from the arena................ where the "artists" were having somewhat of a hard time.................. not to mention the lady in the sequinned dress as as she stood up, her dressed had creeped up and was wedged between the cheeks of her but............................. we really tried so hard not to laugh.....................................

The trapeeze artists were coming into the arena with their skin tight leotards on and wellington boots.............. although i must admit they were brightly coloured and looked quite cute, they were definitely not too impressed by the fact that when they got to the top of the tent, they were literally getting showered with the water that was coming in through the holes around the poles that kept the tent up................

The guys who were spinning the plates had the worst deal, the plates would just not spin when they got wet and kept falling off all over the place ........................

Even with the rain, we had a really good time and laughed a lot ............................ i really like the circus................... full of adventure and fun .......................
