Swimming continues relentlessly.
I was really going for it this week and gave it 100% all the way through. No silly running accross the pool just to be first to the other side or anything.
I'm still going with school so details of what I get up to are understandably scarce. I did let slip that there has been a small amount of changing room related shenannigans though, ha ha.
On the way Dad made a shocking discovery, there is a radio station playing nothing but Christmas songs, ALREADY!
I loved it and wouldn't let him turn it over.
Mum was working late, late, late, so it was tea without her. I ended up rounding out my meal with a lovely ciabatta doused in tomato sauce with the Prodigy playing on the radio...I proclaimed this largely perfect, exceptt Mum not being there of course.
Continuing with the food theme I decided I wanted a proper school dinner on Thursday, i'd finally had enough of cheese sandwiches. So instead i had a jacket potato with tuna, I love tuna. I also had a chocolate rice crispy cake for pudding.
I kept it real and had a marmite sandwich of course.
The skateboarding is still going well. Dad bought it for me to ride home after multi sports on Thursday and our sports teacher Mr Gilham was pretty impressed with my skills. He offered to show us a trick and popped a lovely Ollie on the playground. It was pretty good actually, but I told him that my Dad could do them too.
I had a school dinner again on Friday, same again, potato with tuna but this time it was cookie for afters.
We had a bit of a lie in on Saturday before heading off to Marlborough to buy advent calendars.
Yes it's that time of year again.
We stopped by in the toy shop and then a really cool place that sold skateboards as well. I also spotted a cafe selling lovely looking sausage rolls.
We also went to a few nice shops that sold sparkly pretty stuff, not including the bra and pants shop, we found the window equally hilarious and disturbing. What I really liked were the christmas decorations and present bows.
We eventually picked our calendars, mine was a nice glittery affair.
And I had a last minute change of heart from my super massive one to a much more modest effort. Dad was pleased on two counts I think, firstly it wasn't nearly quite so expensive and secondly he won't have to re-organise the house to accomodate it.
Once we'd achieved our initial objective it was time to realise a second ambition of the day and secure one of those lovely looking sausage rolls.....
I used some of my hard saved pocket money for a Hello Kitty football.
It was such a lovely sunny day we couldn't bring ourselves to drive past the Wash Common park without stopping off for a play.
I was pretty keen to try out my new ball as well!
Although I was more than happy to play basketball with it, my scoring record was brilliant.
And I made some rather splendid catches from my lofty position on Dad's shoulders, I still couldn't get it through the hoop though. What I could do though was shimmy straight up to the top of the super high climbing frame with no trouble at all.
Once we were all played out we headed home and watched Gullivers Travels on DVD, we loved it.
We did indeed, it was really very funny.
In the evening we went to the fireworks at the farm near where we used to live. We parked at Andy's and had to walk all the way there.
It was a long way, but I managed ot pass the time giving Andy a full run down of Gullivers Travels.
We met up with Kimi and Marney when we got there, they'd come in their car by all accounts?
We got right to the front to get the best possible view of the fireworks, they were brilliant as well!
They were indeed, I loved them too, they were really beautiful.
Afterwards we had a couple of goes on the fair.
I was mad keen to go on the mixer, so Mum, Ned and myself were soon wedged in and flying round and round in circles.
We all did no handers and everything.
Next up was a trip on the dodgems, I went with Andy.
And I went with Dad while Mum did the decent Mum thing and held the coats.
It was total carnage of course, we had loads of great crashes.
Dad didn't even interfere with my driving this time either and let me bash and crash everyone.
I had another session on the skateboard Sunday morning, i'm desperate to learn to ollie:
The afternoon saw a trip to the theatre in Reading to see Horrible Histories with Alan and Hayley as well.
This meant the back seats had to come out in the car, I love the back seat, it's so cool.
We were pretty late getting tickets so we were up in the balcony.
I thought this was a particularly cool place to sit.
We really enjoyed the show, even if the adults weren't quite so keen.
I really enjoyed the half time ice cream as well, even though I thought it was time to go at the interval.
My school dinner experiment ended on Monday and it was back to good old cheese sandwiches!
I didn't manage to get my school project done over the weekend so tonight we had a standig long jump competition in the front room (my project was on accurate measurements). I secured first place and beat Mum and Dad! I was mighty pleased about that.
