I laughed out loud when I saw the image on Cath's card!
Wow! Amazing! Outrageously crazy!
I thought 'Can it be real? Or is it just a montage?' But people do do these mad things, don't they? Over Niagara Falls, between skyscrapers in New York, while playing the fiddle in a street in Glasgow. (I saw this man again last week - he must visit Glasgow in January and I wondered what his life is like, and where else he goes, and does he really make a living this way, and does he perhaps aspire to feats like this?)
Then I thought about how it must feel when you have done something like this. He must be high (!) for days and days afterwards, or he just collapses from exhaustion, or maybe he considers it all in a day's work? Surely not.
What do you think? And have you ever done anything physically daring? How did you feel afterwards?
I'm a real coward in that regard. Although I have been up in a balloon - but I didn't have to do anything other than gaze in wonder at the landscape below - someone else was flying the balloon....
Cath, you made my day!
Thank you.
