100 Balloons

 Tighe asked for a special Christmas.  This year Anneke and Oscar are in Europe with their mother, enjoying a white Christmas. Erik is riding the Tour Aotearoa, and wont be home until January.

This week I have been blowing up 100 transparent balloons.  I have been putting glitter in the balloons, and the static causes the glitter to stick to the inside of the balloon. I stored the balloons in the garage, in the paper rubbish bags.

My fingers hurt, due to tying the end of the balloon into a knot.  In the end, I found masking tape provided my fingers with the best protection.  They were very sore though.
