Right now I'm debating making Scotch Pancakes/Drop Scones/Pikelets (depending on where in the world you are), and writing a Hugo & Lefty story. On paper (for the first draft). With a fountain pen dating back to 1935.

The description of the cloud turning into the big top put me in mind of the film and book (I saw the film before I read the book) "Something Wicked This Way Comes" - just on the rather dark and sinister feel of it

We get the travelling version of the Cirque du Soleil every year. It's always under the big top tent(s). It's always a treat, but Wood's Pandemonium Carnival sounds like great fun.

![]() I went to see La Machine when they came to Liverpool, and that was amazing, the giant spider climbing up the side of the building floored me, I couldn't stop looking at the thing. I suppose that's what I picture in my head now when I think of Circuses, and I'd hope if animals were needed they could do something along those lines in the future instead of actual animals (but they're not in Wood's Pandemonium Carnivale). ![]() |

I'm editing now, and I have about 8 of the 16 from Suggest a Story thread done in first draft. I'm hoping to release it on Monday (fingers crossed and if nothing else gets in the way) under the title: Suggested Oddities.

I didn't, although I have a friend who raves about it all the time, and he said he'd lend me the DVD boxset. I should really watch it, because one of my favourite actresses (and I also have a bit of crush on her from when she was in The Faculty) Clea Duvall stars in it.
