Yes I have been working hard today (and have a blood blister to prove it). Why am I putting myself in harms way? I am preparing for a very important birthday party for a very important client.

I always give a good show and value for money, but this time it is different. The Birthday Boy is a very exacting and I will know if my work is not appreciated and my life will not be worth living. As you’ve probably guessed the Birthday Boy is my own.

Today I completed making a Coconut Shy. My lad is having a Fair or Fete themed party so still to come are the tin can alley, the ring toss, the ball in bucket and a few others. It will be a good little party at this rate. If anyone has any suggestions for additional sideshows I’ll be glad to hear them.
