I normally post family photos on a Sunday (and fan art on a Saturday) but I'm finding that I don't always manage to do that these days, as I'm often out and about with my family at the weekend. In the past I used to schedule my post, but I've got out of the habit of doing that. I suppose I should start again, though I do find it robs my posts of a bit of their spontaneity...

Anyway, I'm not going to overly worry about it, and I don't get the sense that you guys are too worried either. So when I have a chance to post at the weekend (which, in fairness, I usually do), I will, but if the occasional Saturday or Sunday slips by without me managing to put together a post... so be it.

That said, there's no reason I can't play catchup if I miss a day, so here, a mere 24 hours later than planned, we have four photos taken in February, when the Shans went to the always excellent Tom Duffy's Circus when it came to Limerick. It was Gaia's first time going to a circus, and she enjoyed it greatly, though we did end up leaving during the interval, as a full show would have been a little too much for a little one like her (she was still 3 years old then), especially as she found it very noisy and had to wear ear protectors which weren't overly comfortable!!

The first photos shows Gaia and her brother Dante when we got there -- she was lucky she had him to cling to! The second and third show us in our seats, waiting for the show to begin, and then enjoying it once it did. In the fourth, I BECAME part of the show, when a wandering clown challenged me to catch a piece of popcorn that he threw towards me. It took a few tries, but I'm delighted to report that I DID manage to finally catch it -- maybe it's not too late for me to run away and join the circus (again, of course, after my Cirque Du Freak years)!!!!
