Just ordered my balloons and a book on how to make balloon animals, but will not receive them before we go to Corfu, was hoping I could have practised with them by the pool
I want to live the dream

Rob thanks for the text

Hurrah! About half an hour ago, a hot and sweaty postie handed me a parcel containing lots of Sempertex balloons and associated pump. Not knowing which to get, I got 160s and I think I should have got 260s. Never mind.

The urge to knock off early is overwhelming...

Just made a cute little balloon dog, and it didn't pop! Well, it was more a crime against nature, but it didn't pop! It just sat there looking worried, as if to say "Please kill me..."

Good times! :D

I've always fancied doing a very dark act that finished with a balloon model dog. However this would be a roadkill balloon dog, made from a black balloon with a white marker pen to draw an 'X' for each eye and a flat bit in the middle of his stomach where the car ran over him.

I think I could link that with the evil vent doll act, and create a very dark gothic kids' magic show for adults.

    1. I'll be there if others will. Saturday is my day off.

    2. Yes, because Kolm swallowing a big one HAS to be seen.

    3. 2pm in a nice place. The Waldorf seems nice and boozy.

    4. I have no idea, but can I bring a friend?
