We found this tired, poorly looking balloon attatched to a delicious chocolate birthday cake! It didn't say much - just that it's been hungover for weeks and used to be pink. We've brought it home to rest, turn pink and give to a deserving recipient. There are hundreds more out there people! Please keep your eyes peeled!

More apologies folks for lack of wittering! It's been one of those weeks where you think it's going to be a quiet one watching T.V. that rots the mind...but then wonderful presents arrive in the shape of people, places and parties! When we have settled down to watch something however, it's been Marie Antoinette...about 8 times in the past few weeks. We cannot stop watching it for a little escapism and the excellent soundtrack. After discovering Bow wow wow and their versions of "fools rush in" and "I want candy", we have an extra spring in our step and wiggle in our dance! It's a late discovery, but we love it! All the cakes, fabric and shoes of Versailles have pocketed themselves in our brain. We are humming the soundtrack as we write. If you haven't seen it, we are giving you a strong recommendation. Anywho, you get the idea.
There have been rumours of more balloon sightings but no pics, so no proof! We did get a note from one pursuing it's journey to fame. It's going to audition for BB10 and Shipwrecked 2009...watch this balloon filled space!

Whilst out walking Cookie in Hockley this evening we spotted what we thought was one of the missing balloons...and it was! So we ran over for a chat to see if it wanted to come back home...
Us: Blue balloon! How we've missed your watery hues!
Balloon: (Mischievously) erm...hey, yes I have been off exploring.
Us: Well you didn't get very far, infact you've only made it down the road.
Balloon: But it's been parties, shindigs and merry-making all the way!
Us: Check you out. Ready to come home yet?
Balloon: Don't think so, I've got a BBQ in half an hour.
Us: Nice. We see you're carrying a little thought around with you there ("Free as a lost Balloon..."). Please may we take it for our thought jam?
Balloon: No.
Us: Oh. Well then, see ya! Wouldn't wanna be ya!
Balloon: Smell ya! Shouldn't have to tell ya!
Us: I have a pin in my pocket...
I hope the balloons you find haven't let the freedom over inflate them...it will make them pop eventually.
