Well the Christmas Craft Market (in November) went well, Julie sold several bags and one of her wraps! There was lots of interest and half of her business cards were taken by people wanting to get back in touch once they have got their christmas party outfits! or they want something to match their special outfit... (perhaps I could retire next year, I may even make it one of my new years resolutions).

We took the booth down in record time (under 2 hours) mind you it did help that this was the first time we have ever done it . We did have a Buster Keaton Event when I loosened off some screws and the whole of one side dropped down passing safely over Julie leaving her sitting in the middle of the frame. (watch the film clip you will get the idea). Several witnesses were telling her how lucky she was while I was trying to say there was never going to be a problem and then switched the blame to Gemma seeing as she obviously didnt tighten all the screws when she put up that side on Thursday night

.

Then about Tuesday I caught the Dreaded Lurgy  or as someone on the BritishExpats website called it Man-Flu (or from the woman's point of view an ordinary cold). So I have been working from home the last couple of days to avoid infecting my team... I don't want them to have any excuses for not working!

.

We have our annual Bonfire Night celebrations this Saturday where the neighbours get  the opportunity to watch me trying to incinerate myself while setting off fireworks and then they can watch the spectacle of us setting fire to a pile of wood with an effigy of Guy Fawkes on top..... We always had a bonfire party in the UK and they are becoming quite popular over here with about 40 people expected. I will get Gemma to take some photos for the next entry. If you are lucky you will see me outlined against a blazing fire
