I dabbled in street photography once upon a time so approached other people's kids appearing in my photos in the same fashion if we were out in public.

LoL that goat XD I assume the tennis balls were to protect other people from being headbutted? It looks like such an anime character.

I usually assume judges should know what they're judging (bias from gymnastics) but maybe in some cases they don't. Or maybe the fair has been harangued by angry parents who are butthurt their perfect precious little snowflake "missed out" on a prize they "clearly deserved" and were having tantrums about how it should be all about the message or intention and nothing to do with the technique or something.

We have fairs/shows/festivals kind of semi-regularly though haven't been out to many til recently because J spent a fair few years being old and cranky (ke"can't be bothered", "just want to read", "too tired" etc). We've been to one local agricultural show that we noticed signs for when visiting a friend that used to live in the area so we parked at said friend's place and hiked in at least once (may have been twice I can't remember). There's a different local show/fair that our tumbler troupe has been performing in every year for ages, and a couple of years ago got invited to perform in another festival and apparently they liked us enough that we were back again last year and might be back yet again this year.

And there is of course the "overpriced" and "overhyped" Royal Show which is the main one which J always complains about but we go every now and again (every other year or so), there were rumblings we might go this year.

I know you said it was feeling better but have you gotten the ankle checked out since?
