Our friend Ang came to stay overnight on her way to Ross-on-Wye, so we took the opportunity to watch our latest LoveFilm delivery with her - Man on Wire, the story of Philippe Petit and his walk across a wire between the twin towers of the world trade centre.
Philippe Petit is undoubtedly one of those people you would put in the class of a genius - with the kind of mental imbalance you might expect from someone of his kind - and it was fascinating to see the difference between how his friends were treated (friends, without whom, his illegal stunt would never have happened, and who were immediately deported from the country), and how quickly Philippe's celebrity status meant he escaped charges and went on to live a comfortable life in America.
What a bizarre world we live in.

These wires provide the electricity to the cable cars in SFO.

well you know
you better free your mind instead.'
sterling earrings make a peaceful statement... handformed sterling wires frame antiqued glass beads... lapis encourages self awareness and reveals inner truth...
