Send in the clowns (to turf the park)

Yes, the circus is in town. Big and brash and churning up the park with its big trucks, caravans and tents.

There are clowns, sad looking horses, motorbikes, acrobats, budgies (!?) - a whole bundle of fun, wrapped up in a marquee.

Eldest and I are at different ends of the spectrum as far as the circus goes. I'd rather gouge my eyes out with rusty spoons than go to the circus. He'd probably gouge my eyes out with rusty spoons if I told him he's not going.

This is definitely one for hubby.
