Up ........ again

I am quite pleased with this.
The first problem was getting the monsters to back off and leave the balloons alone ....... before they had even been blown up.
Next - the helium ran out after 2 balloons.
Then it was getting wire fitted to the other balloons without bursting them.
The wire wasn't strong enough to hold them up - so a stronger length had to be found and the timing had to be right so the breeze didn't blow them over.
Removing the wall pillar under the house in Photoshop wasn't as easy as I expected either.

While I was doing all this SWMBO and the kids headed off to the park where I joined them when I was done.
On the way over I stopped to snap the last of the of dog roses.

The Cygnet fell off the climbing frame for the first time today.
There were tears - through fright not pain - but not many because there were a few of his friends from nursery there.
In fact it was like a nursery outing and we were outh for a lot longer than expected as we caught up with chat and gossip with parents.
I had to break away every now and again to quieten Squirrel down as she demanded her picture taken.

After collecting a parcel (and having to pay the extortion claimed by HM Customs and the Post Office) we went for cake and a drink - where there was lots of jumping and ......... floating?????

There was banana bread baked in the afternoon - despite Bags food processor blowing up.
It tasted delicious.
