A very early start. I had to be in Meltham near Huddersfield before 10am... meant I left the house at 7.30 to get the 7.55 train which got into Huddersfield at 8.44, and I then got the Number 324 bus to Meltham at 9am. It all went very smoothly, which is pretty normal for public transport.
I found the venue for the Pre-School Playgroup building, a Church Hall, very easily but couldn't find the door as two seemed sealed shut and one was locked. However, the locked one was eventually unlocked and I was let in. I talked through what I was going to do and what their timings were before getting changed. I had only agreed to do the circus show for them but I thought that for the money they were giving me, they could have the balloons too, and they were pleased with this. My only deadline was to be finished for 11.45 for Father Christmas to visit.
The shows went well, although they weren't easy as the children were very young and that has it's difficulties when you've a circus workshop show and a balloon workshop... however, the grown-ups seemed happy, no child burst into tears and nothing went wrong. And I finished on time, got paid, and was waiting for the bus back to Huddersfield by 12.10. The train came 10 minutes after I got to the station and I was home before 2pm.
I then got busy with the chainsaw as I really want to clear the front garden, as I'm expecting to get more logs over the winter, and I need to make space.
I made some tomato, onion and red pepper soup when it got dark at 4ish, and at 6 the family had that, along with bread. Delicious.
