Tempus fugit

Wow, exactly where does time go?

Have been busy with work, decorating, allotment and half term hols. Jacob and I are having a film night and are watching MegaMind.

We went to see a most fantastic show at the Lowry Theatre on Wednesday and should this show come to a town near you it is an absolute 'must see'. The Slava Snow Show was one of those shows that you really don't forget in a hurry. When I first saw the video clips on utube I was a little wary of the clowns (don't really like clowns, bit creepy) but they were the most unusual, intriguing and cutest clowns I have seen.


The show was quite interactive which Jacob and his friend loved. An enormous cobweb was thrust out over the audience and we helped move it along by pushing it over our heads. A snow storm was blasted out over us and then huge, enormous rubber balls were thrown out into the audience which even the adults were jumping around trying to punch into the air.


It was great fun and I really would recommend taking youngsters to see it (but over 8 yrs is advised).

The music was amazing and added to the dramatic effects on stage. If you should get to see it watch out for the telephone scene, I very nearly needed tissues I laughed so much.

Right then, i'm off to make some chocolate mousse with crispy caramel pieces.

Have a good weekend and if you are doing anything for Halloween - have a spooky one!
