Boing, Fae and The Clown with No Name

They've got their noses. They've got their certificates. Now they're just sitting back and letting it all sink in. (Also they're waiting for cake).

And then there was cake.

While our new clowns cut the cake, the rest of us sang out that old favourite, "Happy Nose-Day To You!"Photo credit: Sanjay Balsavar

Getting used to new noses!

It's not as easy as it looks! Here's Boing, wondering if it's going to stay on, and Bobette, making sure it does!Next, Bobette watches, impressed, as Fae discovers she can giggle with her nose on. But the Clown with No Name isn't taking any chances:

Boing takes a breather, Bobette discovers the old hand-on-nose-keeps-it-on trick, and Fae applauds enthusiastically! (Either that, or she's saying 'namaste' to someone off camera).
