School trip day, Bristol, to the Planetarium. I wasn't that chuffed about this one in the build up as I wanted to go to the London one instead (that option got out-voted though). Still, on the day I was raring to go. We even got to go in a bendy bus coach!
It did seem a pretty long trip, but we loved it. The planetarium show was pretty awesome and afterwards we got to wander round the wider science museum at our own pace to investigate the exhibits, a lot of which were hands on interactive type stuff.
We did our water filtration experiments back in class, I loved it. Eventhough everyone predicted i'd try and drink the filtered dirty water I certainly didn't. I loved seeing what affect the sand, gravel and cotton wool had on the murky water.
My wellingtons also developed a terminal problem when the seam split around the heel area. Oh dear, all those lovely puddles to splash around in and I don't have any water-tight wellies......
Ned was pretty late back from Bristol so getting to gumnastics on time was a bit fraught....
But we made it!
Tea time was accompanied by about an hour of solid talking from Ned about his trip.......
I had to do my homework in a last night emergency dash style, accompanied by loads of whingeing and whineing.....but it turned out pretty good, well, according to Dad it was anyway.
Wednesday
I've been feeling really creative lately, and had a lovely time doing some blow painting after school.
While I sat on the sofa, watching telly, trying to forget it was PARENTS EVENING!
Cool, we get to play in the ICT suite for a while.
While Mum and Dad get told how i'm doing at school.....urrrgh. It wasn't the best feedback i've ever had it must be said. But then again, it wasn't too bad either really, just need to pay a bit more attention and try a bit harder a little more often really.
Thursday
After school dancing was brilliant this week, especially making the human pyrmaid arrangement for out finale.
We tried looking for new wellies and found nothing suitable...oh dear, what a nightmare time of year for such a fate to befall a committed splasher like myself.
Friday
Well, my parents eveing has certainly had an affect on me, I came home from school with this little certificate thingy:
And once Dad had verified I hadn't written it myself he was really pleased (as was Mum).
It was swimming night, the car park was almost underwater with the flooding! I'm on a real charge with it now. I think i've really finally cracked my front crawl/breathing technique. I've certainly got messing about with Eva down. This week Dad even remembered to bring my shampoo, conditioner and hairbrush for the shower afterwards!
I did my maths homework in about two minutes and then hit the Minecraft hard on the IPad.
There was a game of Logo Billionaire played after tea.
There was, and guess what....I WON!!!!!
Then we watched some of the Winter Olympics opening ceremony from Sochi in Russia.
There was some brilliant dancing, rollerblading and fireworks, I loved it!
Saturday
A lazy start to the day, watching the Olympics on telly. Mens snowboard slopetsyle was the highlight, even if our Team GB chaps didn't get a medal in the final.
But that couldn't last, we went into town to buy me some more clothes.
Oh deep joy. Actually, I got to go in the Entertainer for ages until Dad rang me to order I try some stuff on too.
I loved it and got a few nice items for summer, should it ever arrive of course.
We headed home for lunch before setting off to visit Anne in her new house.
Yeah, we did, we approved of it whole heartedly too, very nice!
And after that it was yet more shopping!!
I could not believe it.
No, well, my need for new wellies is of the upmost importance. Asda to the rescue:
Then it was back home for our usual Saturday night routine of Pizza and Splash!
Sunday
More early morning Olympics! This time, Ladies Slopestyle snowboarding, and a bronze medal for our Jenny Jones. It was dead exciting watching it, in bed, with Mum and Dad too.
I wasn't bothered, and took advantage of having the downstairs telly all to myself.
I was already looking forward to going out for a Chinese Sunday buffet lunch, seaweed! Prawn Sesame toasts! I spent ages doing my make up, i'm trying to town down my appliction technique a bit. I think it's going pretty well. I also got to wear a new dress which I was really excited about:
I wasn't quite so keen, from a food point of view anyway. I'm not sure I like it all that much, but hey-ho, we were going with Alan and Hayley and I was looking forward to that.
Turns out I quite enjoyed my food in the end, I let Dad plate me some stuff up and I ate the lot, I particularly liked the curry spring rolls.
I decided I didn'ty like Seaweed any more.....
But we all agreed the help yourself jelly was brilliant.
We also had a lot of fun with Alan and Hayley.
And I hassled him to invite us offer to his house for some of his homemade jam tart cake things. Hopefully he will.....
I asked Alan if he could come round to our house after the meal, but he said he had to go food shopping...yes! Result!!!! I wanted to go out and see Hugo or Alastair and Mum said I wouldn't be allowed if we had afternoon company.
I spent the afternoon cuddling up with Dad and doing Ironing with Mum, I love ironing! I did very well not to burn myself, Mum or any of the clothes I think. I particulalrly liked the steam spray function!
Hugo was out so I went to Alastairs, we played Minecraft all afternoon, awesome.
After tea we had a game of Labyrinth, we hadn't played for ages.....and weirdly Dad won.
We also watched some more Olympics, Biathlon! The worlds coolest sport, cross sountry skiing and rifle shooting!!!!! I really want a go at that.
Once that was finished it was bedtime, so a nice story for me, on Mum and Dads bed.
And Top Gear for me, the Alfa Romeo 4C and the Mclaren P1!
