Well the rain eased up for a little while at least.
Enough for the puddles to freeze over on the way to school anyway.
We got to break through them with our wellies on the way to breakfast club, one of the advantages of going to school early I suppose.
I did after school netball with just a t-shirt on top. I didn't feel the cold even if everyone else did.
At least I didn't have top ut up with his grumpyness on the way to gymnastics anyway.
We had another Jungle Speed session in the evening.
I'm not at my most attentive when we have the music channels on in the background though.
Wednesday
We've not been getting ready all that well in the mornings lately.
No, it's been a real struggle lately.
I think today we pushed Mum over the edge pretty much.
Add to that our total lack of homework motivation in the evening and we really weren't doing very well at all.
Still, I decided to do a bit more indoor roller skating to help lift the mood...or not!
Thursday
Our adter school dance class featured a routine using hats! It was really cool. What wasn't quite so cool was my teacher telling Dad that I hadn't 'settled back in' to classes after the christmas break...oh dear.
I put on extinsive gymnastics display for Dad when I got home from school. I've got quite a repetoire now and i'm still working on my splits.
Friday
I did sports leaders in my golden time in the afternoon which I loved.
And I had swimming lessons again, i'm doing much better this term I think.
Saturday
We were up and at the cinema early doors for the kids AM showing of Free Birds.
It was really good, until I realised all the sweets had been eaten and I barely had any.
This set a bit of a tone for the rest of the day, there was a lot of flouncing, shouting and sulking.
Yeah, there was, some of it was us kids as well!
We managed a trip to Waitrose for lunch things.
I cleared off to Hugo's for the afternoon, we played Minecraft on his XBox.
We all calmed down over a McDonalds for tea, laughing at the hapless fools maiming themselves on Splash.
Sunday
Well the sun was out and everyone was in a much better frame of mind.
Indeed we were.
Dad and I had a quick haircut, the lady loved the smell of my hair that i'd just washed.
And even though I didn't get a haircut myself, I still got a lollipop.
In our 'Go Kinetic' drive at school we've been collectng stamps for a while. We had more than enough for a free swim at Northcroft. I was super excited about this, even if Mum and Dad took some convincing.
Well the new changing rooms certainly met universal approval. That was a good start.
We had a good time, without slides and wave machines we had to make our own fun, and we did!
We had the dive sticks, they were great fun down the deep end.
I also spotted one of the bricks you have to dive for during lessons on the bottom of the pool. Trouble was it was over the other side of the pool and on the other side of two adult swimming lanes. I really wanted to get it though, and after a couple of false starts I made a break for it in a gap between the serious swimmers. I got it, and got back without getting whistled at by the lifegaurds.
My friend Matilda was also there, I found her splasing about in the learner pool.
So after our non standard swimming location we kept our voyage of discovery going by visiting Aldi on the way home.
We really wanted to replace our tin of christmas sweets that Auntie Christine had got us from there. We didn't find any though, it was a bit optimistic this side of Christmas I suppose.
The sun was still out in the afternoon so we were forced out for a ruddy walk.
Yeah, a walk!
I wanted to be back home as quick as possible so I could get round to Hugo's again.
It turned out to be pretty good though, we headed down to the canal and then on to Northcroft.
Yeah, all the houses along the canal had flooded gardens, it looked pretty bad.
And the river that runs across the back of the leisure centre had so much water in it, the paths across from the bridge and even the football pitches were under water.
Wading through it all in our wellies was great fun.
It was just as bad the other side near the park too, in fact there were a few small islands on the field:
The park was pretty much dry though:
We headed back, still in the lovely sunshine.
I disappeared off to Hugo's, we didn't get much Minecraft done, but we did have an awesome bundle on their trampoline, resulting in very muddy clothes and an ice pack for Hugo.
While they were doing that I painted Mum's nails for her:
Well, I say painted, more like daubed them with blue sludge....it didn't dry very quickly....
Monday
Cross country club started again this week, I was on super quick form and lead the way on all our runs, what with Maxim having left and the year 6's being in Rhos for the week.
We did the hat dance as well, I caught Dad out a treat when they came in to watch as well. I could see him trying to locate me in my usual position at he back, so left it a bit before I shouted at him, from the front row!
After tea we both got busy with our homework with Mum helping, very productive!
