I went to Sasha's for tea, it was great fun. Her oldest brother has gone on the Rhos trip with the school so the house quieter than usual. We headed off to gymnastics together after tea.
Wednesday
Team kennet was much better this week now my foot tablets are starting to take affect.
I've had a nightmare getting school to administer my lunchtime ones though. A load of forms to fill in and still i'm managing to miss them out....
Friday
Massive school news, the interim house competion results were announced today, and my house Craven is winning. This in unprecedented. We won by a single point so obviously it was one of mine that took the win.
We had a bit of a board games session after tea. Kicking off with Jungle Speed, which I love. Next up was another of my choices, Cluedo. I won this in record time, I think we just about managed one round of questions before I deduced the guilty party. Nit really was quite unbelievable.
Next up Ned's choice, Settlers of Catan. I hadn't played this before and took a bit of convincing. I tried but quite honestly it was pretty boring and a bit too geeky for me. I decided bed was a better option.
Saturday
We had a pretty good idea to fill a cold January Saturday, a trip to the Isle of Wight by Hovercraft!
It was all really rather cool, we parked up in Southsea by the pier and had half an hour or so in the arcade before we needed to check in for our crossing.
It was all so quick and easy and we were soon boarding:
As soon as everyone was on the engines were fired up and we took off! It was really weird just floating there on the beach. We moved off backwards towards the sea and it swung around as we went down the rather steep slope towards the water. It hadn't completed it's pirouette by the time we reached the sea though and we entered the water sideways. It was pretty unnerving to see the sea coming at yous ideways out of the window and be on a downward facing angle. The transition was so smooth though that you didn't even notice it and that was it, we were now gunning it towards the Isle of Wight in a plume of spray. It was really smooth, a bit noisy maybe but it was fast! We were over there inside ten minutes and up on the landing bay in Ryde. It came to a halt and then when the fans were powered down we landed with a bit of bump. We made our way up to the vantage point on the railway bridge to watch it depart again for the mainland. It was cool watching it's skirt inflate and then disappear off back to the mainland.
We wandered about a bit, trying to find the town so we could go for lunch. Ned wasn't happy with our non-scientific approach and got his phone out, opened the map app and directed us straight to the Wetherspoons pub. Hot dog and chips and a very creamy topped hot chocolate. Lovely. We browsed some of the shops and got ourselves a nice new cheesegrater (our old one has broken thorugh heavy use) and had a quick walk on the beach before heading back to the hoverport. The trip back was every bit as smooth and quick as the way out and we were soon back in Southsea. We had a bit of a walk up the prom before heading home in the car.
No rollerksating, so we gorged on Saturday night television which made a nice change. You've been framed, Ninja Warrior Uk and Take me out.
Sunday
I wasn't looing forward to this one, Sportshall Athletics for Ned's under 13's team....booooring. I totally glammed up for it, make up, hair, leather jacket the lot. Dad reckons all the other girls in their sportswear looked proper envious. I spent the day playing on my Kindle, eating picnic and avoiding doing my homework which Mum had kindly bought along.
Monday
Todays after school dance routine was soundtracked by 'Jump jump' the Kriss Kross classic. It wasn't the original version though but it was still great fun. Dad dredged the original out from the PC and put it on my Kindle when we got home!
