Jobling out and about


OK, let's get this out of the way with first - me meeting SANTA!!!! :-D See as I struggle to keep my excitement in check! This was at Farlington School btw...


Thought I'd next show you all a delightful picture of the delightful Alan Gilbey, the delightful script editor and lead writer of Frankenstein's Cat the animated series, holding aloft the delightful BAF Award for Best TV Series. I believe he's pawned it for filthy cash already... Couldn't be there myself but glad Al got to grab the gong on behalf of everyone from the production team.

Below is a picture of Mr Josh Lewis's left kneecap in Australia. Josh's wife, Felise, got in touch with me on Facebook and let me know that the family love the show so much that Josh felt obliged to get a Nine tattoo added to his tats. This is work in progress, and mighty fine it is too - as Josh sends me the finished tattoo I'll put it up on here. But this is tremendously flattering - I've never seen a Bob tattoo but then I think Nine lends himself to the art form more...

Just back from a whirlwind few days in West Sussex, opening the Farlington Christmas Fair as well as a new nursery hall at Burgess Hill School for Girls. Had a lovely time at both events, in no small part thanks to the hospitality of the pupils, parents and staff at the schools. Particularly have to thank Joy, Casie and Lucia at Farlington for enduring me, Emma and the girls, and also Fen, Georgina, Yudi and the gang at Burgess Hill for supplying me with hot cups of tea in the freezing weather. Here are some pictures from the event at Burgess Hill. Note the small army of Bob the Builders who were present. They're mid-shout there yelling out the word "PARSNIP" - I guess you'd need to have been there to understand the ramifications of this exultation...
And lastly, but by no means least, below is a picture of Frankenstein's Cat as done by Maria Chance (aged 6) of Stratford Upon Avon. Clever cookie that Maria is she's used the fridge magnet from the DVD box as a stencil and drawn around the titular moggie that way - great stuff Maria and many many thanks for sending this through to us!

Have the wires holding you up been removed or is that guy really the strongest Santa in the world !? :)

Santa was actually huge - some rather marvellous ex-rugby player who lifted Bling as though he weighed no more than a feather. REALLY REALLY good Santa too - the girls really liked him, which is a breakthrough considering they usually run screaming!!

Is it wrong to want my knees tattooed now??

You have a plaque! With your name on and everything! Usually you have to be dead before you get that. Brilliant! Am am both envious and highly amused in equal measure.

Jo Bling said...

Gordon - indeed, I was possessed by the great man! Thanks for kind words, there was a lot going on :-)

Glazey - he's the strongest Santa in the world ;-P

Mrs Bling - YES, don't get your knees tattooed, that's for big boys like Josh!

Bushy - envious AND amused? Then my work here is done :-D

Awww.... the little 'Bobs' are cute!

Good to see you have your own army of little kids and tattooed knees... never know when they may come in handy.
