Circus

Last night the annual Winter Circus rolled into town. To be precise... rolled into my street. I live close to the city theatre and every year my section of the street is closed off for 24 hours to house the circus artists. The first year I lived here I woke up to the sound of roaring lions just beneath my bedroom window. No lions ever since, but there is an animal truck this year. For the first time the theatre offered free tickets for the inconvenience caused. My parents and little niece K. will go.

This is the view from my bedroom window this morning. It is the circus I tell you, I do not live next to a trailer park.
