Out of all of Danny's suggestions, I like "that'll do for the moment!" best.

If I'm doing magic and balloons, I dress as my magic character including jacket, shirt and tie.
If it is just balloons, I wear more casual clothes, usually including an orange hat.

Balloon Chit Chat / Re: David Grist Memorial Lecture 2016

There must be a lot of people who don't know of David Grist. I think by retaining his name you will have peole asking who he was.
Perhaps you could tell everyone on the day who David was, and show some of the things he made. Have his DVDs available, too, so people can see the photos of the contents. There are a lot of things on them that people still make.

This looks like the Qualatex Job Cost sheet.
You can use it for twisted figures, too. Add on for perceived value.

This is my boxing kangaroo, not that I invented it. I've only ever made one, too. Hope I can remember how to make it.

I remember when Qualatex said they were going to discontinue Geos. It was about the same time Guido and Dennis brought out their DVD. Fortunately, so many people objected, they changed their minds. They even increased the size of the nozzle from ridiculously small to useable.

These are very nice. How long did it take to make the larger of the 260 hearts?

What does the new pump do that your old one doesn't?

I have a similar arrangement with the bowling alley. I sometimes pick up a show there. Now and again I'll take a big, wearable, model, or just a showoff piece. It's nice to have an opportunity to show people what can be made with balloons. Even in 2015 a lot of the public think balloons are swords and dogs.

Think I'll call him Richard, or Roger, or Rupert. Something beginning with an R.

Anyone tried these?
What do you think of them if you have?

There is a forum for balloon decor, Thelma. It's the last one on the list, and doesn't get used much.
I hadn't realised you were injured in your car crash. Hope you're better soon.

Looks interesting. I watched the Youtube video. Not sure the wheels would work on grass. I often have to drag my trolley into the middle of a field. If you get one, let me know if it works for balloons.
