Bouncing down

Well the weekend party went with a bang; both kids and adults enjoyed themselves. There was some difficulty sorting out the blower thingy for the bouncy castle. That was my fault, I forgot the strap down pegs and the band that goes around the pipe but after several false starts up it went and up it stayed. The weather was finicky one minute sunshine the next rain, which caused a little commotion. I had asked one of the lads at work to clean the bouncy castle, he had used washing up liquid (Not the sharpest knife in the box) consequently every time it rained the air seeping out of the seems blew bubbles, lots of them. Of course the kids loved it plus the adults had a free foam party.

Despite the weather we all managed to get under cover one way or another, there were several umbrellas and a covered swing, and after a couple of bollywoods nobody seemed to care, they just got on with it. Later in the evening after the kids had gone to bed a few of us left the garden for the Eurovision song contest. Its so tacky its funny, we had a sweepstake which I nearly won (I had the Ukraine) then back into the garden where we all sat round drinking and laughing for hours. All in all not a bad day.
