So Ned is well and truly a secondary school kid now, his bag is so full and heavy each day I don't know how he manages to lug it around. His backpack was so full that I asked Mum if there was even room For an ant....apparently not!
While we're on the subject of school bags I had a bit of a nightmare when I packed my muddy trainers from PE inwith all my clothes and books...oops, bit messy!
Swimming again this week, and even though Archie wasn't actually at school today, someone managed to find his swimming trunks! We thought this was hilarious.
Homework, still rubbish. Still takes ages. Although I am still keen on doimg my volcano project on PowerPoint......
Once I was done with gymnastics, at least I finally had sausage and mash to look forward to at long last! We hadn't had it for AGES!
Wednesday
Well Ned decided to not bother coming home after school. Nothing too worrying. But when he didn't bother even coming home for tea and had very heklpfully left his phone at home we were a little concerned. We finally gave in and thought we should go looking forward to him when it was time to go to Team Kennet. Having checked both of his local haunts at the parks we eventually found him doing wheelies down Dylans roadwith Maxim. He looked very sheepish indeed and quickly got into the car apologising non stop. He got into his athletics kit on the way without a squeak of complaint.
Athletics was cool this week, I even managed a well paced 600m without any stops.
Ned had a dried up old meal for tea that had been keeping warm in the top oven.....he didn't dare complain so fair play to him.
Thursday
Andy came round for tea, we had to bribe him to fix our lethal light switch by the freezer in the garage that frightened us half to death with a big flash before plunging us into darkness as it tripped out.
Friday
We played Bench ball at school, and in an a most out of character event, Sasha made an epic throw to me to tkae the catch that won the whole game....we were buzzing about that!
I went out with Charlie and Luca after tea, we did cool boys stuff obviously, bikes and scooters that sort of thing. It was all going so well too, until I fell of a scooter while racing...I was going pretty rapidly too. I skidded a long way up the road in my summer dres.....not the best attire unless you want toad rash on your elbow and hip....ouch. Luca and Charlie proved what good friends they were by getting me home for some medical attention from Mum. Thanks boys.
With the nigts drawing in I decided it was high time that Ned's Ghost Hunt game came back out. Great fun on a dark autumn evening.
Saturday
We were up early in the morning as Ned had his first rugby match for Park House. It was an away game so we drped Ned off at schol to go in the mini bus, all dressed up in his uniform and evrything....yeah, blazer and tie the works...on a Saturday! We went home for breakfast and gave it half an hour or so before we headed to the LVS school in Ascot....yep, it was posh okay!
Weirdly though, we arrived ages before the rugby team did. We had a game of throw the panda and tucked into the catering they had laid on...cookies!
The match itself was surprisingly good to watch with plenty of action on the pitch. Well, I say action it was more like a giant bundle, occasionally involving the ball! Ned was surprisingly good as well andvery brave, getting well and truly stuck in dragging loads of the opposition to the floor or tackling as I believe it was called.
We had a quick pitstop in Waitrose on the way back for some cheesecake...haven't had any of that for ages...deeeelish.
A quiet afternoon then before roller skating, again something we hadn't done for a while. It was great funand we hadn't lost the knack at all. We were zooming about straight away and I was well up for races this week. As we lined up for the start the young lad next to me told me that he would 'show me speed' Yeah, thats right, but sadly not enough speed to beat me. I left him in my wake and opened up quite a significant lead before backing off and coasting the last half of the lap so as not to humiliate hom too much. Ned won his race too so that was a nice double victory.
Sunday
We used our free pass to Chessington, I was well up for the Vampire roller coaster this time....sadly, so was everyone else so it was quite a wait. It was worth it though and I loved it, I would have gone round again and again given the chance.
Sadly it asn't a great day out. Ned was really annoying and we did a fair bit of squabbling....which always helps the general mood of course. Add to that a load of bickering about what rides we should or shouldn't go on and it added up to a bit of an ordeal really. Having said that, we did go and see the animal stuff this time which we really liked. The sealions were seriously cute:
As were the Tigers, even though we knew were fierce they looked like they'd like a snuggle up really.
There was also an animal show, the highlight had to be the Racoon, cuteness overload.
The Sea Life centre was also really good, I do love an aquarium full of exotic fish.
Monday
I got issued with my sports council jumper today:
It's lovely and snuggly and warm and I get to wear it whenever I like even during lessons.
Dance was good as well this week, I teamed up with Maddie and we worked out our own routine based on the principle that we were sisters that didn't get on. We pulled some really good moves.
