Big Bang Weekend

My holidays ended with a very busy weekend last weekend. I have barely recovered from it and today is friday. That says alot doesn't it.

Last Saturday I was helping my friend and her mum at an event with the birds of prey. Well busy doesn't even begin to describe how the afternoon went. There were a number of other stalls round about us doing there own thing. But for some reason the crowds instinctively knew we had arrived.

We had barely got the boxes and various pieces of equipment out of the car when we had a row of young people wanting to know what we had in the boxes. Before the last of the birds had been brought out of their boxes there was a queue. I have never seen anything like it. Imagine it if you can; eight birds and three woman faced with a queue that seemed to disappear into the distance. We were stunned. It was so busy all of the time that it was a case of 'Lunch' what is that? and as for a loo break we had our legs crossed until we couldn't keep them crossed any longer. We each had to make a mad dash to the toilet and a mad dash back again. That was kinda funny I have to admit. The neverending queue (we seemed to be the only ones who had this queue) made the afternoon passed very quickly. Before we knew it everyone was tidying up round about us but we still had that neverending queue of people. We could have been there all night if the crowds had had their way. We were all glad to get home again. I have never seen three women be able to move things so quickly in my life before with exception to the loo run.

Sunday was spent at Braehead in Glasgow at the Collectormania Convention. This is the one day of the year that I really look forward to. We get to have a look around for things that we (my husband and I) are really into. It was so much fun. We arrived early and got to look around first. Five hours laters and we are only thinking on leaving after participating in a couple of question and answer sessions with some of the stars that were there. Red Dwarf and Dr Who. I might have guessed. I have never been so tired in all my life. But I came away with some things that related to the Harry Potter movies. Well that is my thing and I enjoy it. Roll on November and Deathly Hallows Part 1.
