	Busy week	919 days ago
	Just finished 4 days of work and i'm aching all over. We were at the Balmoral show on Wedneday, Thursday and Friday and Mountstewart today. 9 hours on stilts at the Balmoral show really develops your calf muscles - do you get it? Balmoral..calf ?? never mind. Any way, we handed out stacks of leaflets for Donnellys our sponsers. There are hundreds of people selling stuff at Balmoral and most of them are pleased to see you but you do get the occasional stall holder who completely blanks you because they are so much in the selling zone. The woman selling the adjustable beds didn't laugh once - even when I asked her if she did them in a bigger size! I know some people wouldn't find an 11ft stilt walker in an indian costume the funniest thing in the world but her potential customers seemed to find it amusing - oh well, you can't please everyone. Mountsteart is always a nice gig, beautiful surroundings and a nice audience. The weather was a bit unpredictable though and we had to squeeze the shows in between torrential showers - but hey we're street performers, you get used to these things. Pigeon and Plum Cabaret and Belfast Lord Mayor's parade next week - i'll put up an updated gig list shortly.
