Where grace and elegance are nowhere to be found

I'm presently suffering from a minor rope burn on my right bicep. Without going into too many details, suffice it to say that tonight I learned that trapeze work is rather more difficult than I intially suspected and that I have a new found respect for those countless trapeze acts I've seen in circuses and on television over the years.

It was rather fun though. Rather curiously I discovered the manual for the trapeze at the end of the night. Who would have thought that a trapeze would come with a manual? I'm quite tempted to have a read and give it another go...
