Saturday 13th December 14

Up early as I'd been invited to attend a Green Party photoshoot for the 2015 elections. I got to Priory St for 9.30am and didn't have to wait, and was 'done' in 5 minutes.  I came back via a pharmacy where I asked advice about my affliction, and bought some decongestant.

I got home via Freshways and put several bunches of bananas on the stove to dry, and then got ready for work.  I took my costume, a job lot of balloons, and one devilstick and handsticks. I cycled to the station and arrived in Leeds at 1pm, and took just under half an hour to get to New Farnley, where I'd been invited to a charity event, a craft sale, to do balloon animals.

So this started at 2pm and I was reasonably busy, but I find it difficult to ask for £2 per balloon (I prefer just asking for a donation) and I didn't make that much money. BUT I did enjoy myself, and might have got some future work in the area.

5pm came and I got changed and cycled back into Leeds, and was back home by 6.30, and feeling quite a bit better than recently.
