BALLOONS!

I still don't know exactly what I'm going to do on the plinth. I have missed phone calls from both cancer research and One and Other but I'm sure I will catch up with both soon.
I do know that I want to act my shoe size not my age! I want to be surrounded by balloons. I'm hoping I can get some cancer research balloons to give away from the plinth.
Having decided on balloons and mentioning this on twitter @mykitchenstore recommended that I follow @balloonbaboon and so I did. I checked out the website and was very impressed with their balloon gifts. The more I thought about it the more I wanted something like that on the plinth with me.Several direct messages followed and then emails as 140 characters weren't really enough!
Julie from balloonbaboon and I put thinking caps together and came up with an idea for a display. Its not going to be big but will sit on the plinth with me. It will involve a sleeping fairy,a candle and a heart and ribbons. In my mind it represents a candle in memory of my mum and others who have died from cancer,a fairy looking after those suffering and the heart for all who need support. I'm not sure everybody will understand and I'm not sure they have to. I know how much I miss my mum and how this means something to me and I guess that's what really counts. I think others affected by this horrible disease will see something in it to.
Balloons wont be my only childish behaviour. I need to get the balance right between serious message and childish behaviour and I'm working on that in my mind. I know that twitter will also be on the plinth with me.
I don't have a phone so I can't do my follow fridays the proper twitter way so instead I plan on writing my follow fridays on a flip chart of sorts and hold this up to the camera. Hopefully those viewing on the website can then follow my recommendations on twitter. I will have a flask of tea and home made biscuits and cakes with me too. Those who follow me on twitter already know how much those items represent me! I will go bare foot as I can never find my shoes and I may well have my keys on a chain around my neck. Again my twitter followers will understand!

I don't think a day goes by without thinking about the plinth and my plans are being revised on a daily basis but these are things I have pretty much confirmed in my head. I hope you will watch me on the plinth and also sponsor me in aid of cancer research.
