	In Elizabethan times the symbolic meaning of the colour indigo was power, importance and wealth.

A clip from The Nutcracker: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPiAeTCBl9k

It's advertising the NY City Ballet's 2011 season (I think), but this is one of the scenes my ES was in for three seasons in the early 80s. Sadly his performance was never videoed (or at least I didn't get a pirate copy - I think one was made, but we moved to Virginia before I could find out). Actually the little blond boy on the right is the spitting image of my son, and is wearing the same costume! They use the same costumes until worn out, and take them off the children almost as soon as they come off stage!

A favourite at this time of year

Also started watching this last night - going to save it for a full viewing tonight but it looks good, if a bit quirky

First time I've seen one, I thought they were all trays of glasses filled with water. Fascinating stuff!

Giz on Angie's has just posted this, the Twelve Days of Christmas, which I thought was well worth sharing. www.facebook.com/watch/?v=10156202562839260 or www.bing.com/videos/search?q=clare+college+cambridge+12+days+of+christmas&docid=608021723004731658&mid=E4BC74194F8CA8733955E4BC74194F8CA8733955&view=detail&FORM=VIRE

I noticed one lad fell off the bench at the back but he seemed to be ok.
