MANIC MONDAY - EGGS


MANIC MONDAY LINK


Last year after Easter I put my Easter decoration in their baskets in a plastic bag for the next year just like that, because the eggs in the baskets were anyway of plastic.

When I opened the first bag this year, a strange odor came out of it, something rotten, in short it smelled awful. I wondered from what this odor came from and even at a closer look I couldn't see anything. I touched the first egg, it broke and even more stinky smell came out and then I realized that I had completely forgotten to take out the real eggs I had added to the baskets and after a year in a plastic bag they had become rotten eggs !

As I am not in possession of a gas mask I had to take all eggs out like this and separate the plastic eggs from the real eggs but I didn't faint !




Even Rosie wondered about this awful smell. The dark blue one is a real egg.



Finally all rotten eggs were taken out and after opening all windows the smell was gone too and we could enjoy our Easter decoration !

PEKING CIRCUS

Yesterday I have been to the Peking Circus show here in Brussels. These acrobates were absolutely phantastic ! I thought they don't have any bones, they moved around like snakes.

The show was based on a little romantic love story between a poor farmer and the Emperor's daughter, of course with a happy end. The soldiers who fought for the Emperor and the poor farmer performed Martial Art in an amazing dancing style.







It looks like one person with several arms and you really could believe it of course



they were three girls.



This girl is balancing burning torches in her mouth and on her feet



Dances with a one wheel bicycle



and a dance with a cloth



one of the scenes. The music, light games and direction were absolutely wonderful




The whole troup consisted of about 50 acrobates and they got a hurrican of applause !

If ever you have the occasion to see them, it is really worthwhile.




I found this little video on the net and it shows you much better what I have seen than my poor pictures !
