    Wibble pah! pah! I spent the day fannying about in a mosque and my local temple and I could've been down there fannying about. That's tomorrow fannying about sorted now. Thanks for the reminder, I thought it was just Sat. and Sun.
    Oooh I've a new (to me) camera and all.
    One bag for cameras, one bag for beers and a pocket full of Rizzlas. Check, check,check.

    They're all colourful characters.

    I'm heading back in today again, for some more acts. The USA Breakdancers look like a brilliant act.

    Was there at lunch time, saw PaulW around there too. :p

    Only saw a bits of the Piano Juggler but he's impressive. Don't think I quite get what Alexis Berube, the French guy was doing on the other play area.

    I must admit that I'm fairly bad at recognising people, but, feel free to come up and say hi to me if you see me.

    The weather is clearing up a bit, at least.

    I plan to see the USA Breakdancers, and will probably stay at area 2 for 2-3 shows, then have to head home.

    Rain disturbed the USA Breakdancers yesterday, so I'm going back in again today to try to see them. Hopefully it'll be a dryer day today.

    I was there yesterday and may go again todaye, couldnt see anyone I knew although I did catch a glimpse of someone snapping my 2 year old taking a picture with my d200 so if it was anyone here please let me see, I thought it was such a cute moment and the entertainer even came over and gave here his card for the pix competition.!

    Uploading pics now so may add some later.

    I was concentrating heavily on a shot through a magnifying glass today and didn't notice I had become someone's subject matter. He showed me the photo and is going to put it on his Pix.ie site...hooray. As that was about the highlight for me. I couldn't think straight about what I wanted as the Aussie performers were continual whinging for money did my nut in.

    But it was worth it to see myself on someone else camera doing what I do. Jayzuz I've a great arse. Bald head (less than I remember being there) but great arse.

    I had a go of the slide too. Just to get away from the whinging.

    A few from today - took the opportunity to take my new camera out for a spin. By the way I don't think I've ever seen so many SLR's all in one place...

    Hey there DutchGuy,

    You got me there, in the black. I'm a bit of a lurker here... I'll let the other two reveal themselves if they fancy.

    I took far too many photos on Saturday and I haven't had the chance to look at them yet but I'm sure I'll around to them eventually - I have some photos from the last two years up on flickr but this is the first time I've had an SLR to take to it... what I learned is that I need a longer lens!

    Did you happen to notice a rather large guy in an Irish rugby jersey sitting to your right? That was myself.
