A perfect start to the day with my favourite breakfast, a large portion of dry Baugette and a heavy durt minecraft session on the Ipad.
It's good for me too, because while he's got his face stuck in the Ipad I get to choose what's on telly (once Mum has seen the news anyway). I'm stilll favouring Channel 5's Milkshake for the record.
There's been plenty of sport at school lately, despite the weather. It has led to some very muddy football sessions though. Netball after school was a much cleaner affair.
And gymnastics is even better still! Being indoors and all that.
After tea I requested a game of Cluedo but this time I wanted to play on my own, with no help from anyone.
Very bold of you Ellis.
Yeah, I thought so, even if Mum wasn't completely convinced I knew I was doing.
Well, you did better than Dad, but then, thats no surprise.
Wednesday
I had a Good day at school, earning a marble for being polite. I did loads and loads of writing during class. I've also been getting on really well with my reading, which has been reflected in the level of books i've been bringing home, proper big ones with loads and loads of words in them.
There was no rugby again this week, so thats that bitten the dust. I was pretty gutted about that.
I consoled myself by watching loads of videos of the various Apollo missions on YouTube. I'm really captivated by our Space theme at school at the moment.
Thursday
We were all up early.
Yeah, it always feels really nice when we're all up early enough to see Dad before he goes to work.
It doesn't seem to make it any easier for Mum to get us ready on time though.....
Friday
Ahhhh Friday again.
Yes indeed, I was very nearly late for swimming due to us being a bit tardy getting in the car and heavy traffic.
It was Film night at school, great fun, almost as good as disco night! We watched The Croods instead of the preciously advertised Cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2 but it was okay.
I sat at home with Dad watching funny animal videos on YouTube, it was lovely.
Saturday
A daytrip!
Yes, it's been a while since we've had one of these.
Indeed it has. On today's agenda a trip to the science museum in London.
The day got off to a great start when my friend Evie from school just so happened to be going to London too on the same train. We had great fun, hiding in the luggage racks.
When we left Paddington, Dad decided we'd walk through Kensington Park rather than take the underground to the museum.
We took some convincing to be honest, but he and Mum were hell bent on it.
As it turned out it was a great idea, it was a lovely sunny day.
The fountains were lovely, the pigeons having a bath in them certainly seemed to agree too.
The squirrels were brilliant too, really cute and brave enough to come right up to you. We had a delve in the bag and found a bit of carrot and a bit of cucumber for one of them.
He loved the carrot, but left the cucumber.
There were also loads of dogs of all shapes and sizes out having a walk.
We soon arrived at the museum and found our way to t he picnic area for lunch.....well, it was getting late for us.
Once lunch was done we started in earnest. We found ourselves in a large interactive area, there was all sorts of things to and fiddle with.
Next up we went to the rocket show, it was brilliant. Despite my best efforts and attempts at being the most prominent person in the auditorium I didn't get chosen to assist at any point during the session. I must be losing my touch.
The highlight has to be the exploding of the balloon full of hydrogen (rocket fuel, I can certainly see why).
There was loads to see there, my highlight had to be the Apollo 10 command module. I couldn't believe that it had actually been into space and back.
There was a bubble show later on in the afternoon.
Didn't get picked for that either.....
It was good though, bubbles of all shapes and sizes...even a square one!
We decided to take the tube back to Paddington rather than walk.
We did, we got talking to an American lady who had come to England to escape the bitterly cold weather of upstate New York.
She didn't mind the endless rain.
We had a quick pit stop in the worlds smallest Mcdonalds before setting off for home on the train.
We saw Evie again when we got off at Newbury and compared stories of our days out, how cool was that?
We were back home and on the sofa in time for Splash (albeit on ITV+1)
Sunday
Well, Mum went to work. which was a bit non standard.
As the sun was out for an amazing second day running, we decided to make the most of it and hit the BMX track.
We did indeed, we weere well up for it as we hadn't been to one for ages.
We went to the Knightwood one in Eastleigh and despite the prolonged recent rain it was riding really well, there was barely a puddle on it!
I still had to have a little help to get over some of the bigger jumps to begin with so that kept Dad on his toes.
And with a little encouragement from me she made it all the way from the top of the start ramp too.
I was really pleased with myself.
We rode and rode and rode.
And then had a car-boot-picnic:

I declared it the 'Best day ever' but had to concede that maybe it wasn't during cross examination from Ned and Dad. That accolade goes to the Waterpark in Fuerteventura, at least for now it does......
We had a few more laps and then headed home.
I felt pretty iffy by the time we got home so spent the afternoon cuddling up with Dad on the sofa.
I headed out with the boys to play rugby in the park. There was loads of us out, it was great. I also got to take my new (Dad's old) mobile phone out with me. Everytime we went somewhere different I rang Dad to tell him where we were going. I'm not sure he needed to know my every movement but I enjoyed keeping him informed all the same.
Monday
Back to school, but only just as I was up on and off in the night feeling ropey. By morning though I was feeling much better and went in as normal.
We commenced our 'Astronaut Training' at school.....we didn't get put in one of those spinny things, don spacesuits and work underwater or anything like that, nope, we did cross country!!! First rule of Astronaut school, you have to be physically fit. I loved it, especially as we had cross country club after school and I got to do even more running.
We did a cricus themed performance, I formed par of the acrobats group, my signature move being the headstand into the bridge.....
