Nedster's World now featuring Ellis!

It's January, the weathers cold and wet, Christmas is a distant memory, there's just not much going on.  Hence this weeks entry is a bit on the sparse side.

Friday

It's hard to get out of bed this time of year, even when i'm compelled to play some music:

So the duvet came down with me for this mornings keyboard session.
Darcey came round for tea after school, it was great fun.  I think she enjoyed herself, I know I did!

Saturday

I had a morning trip to Sashas which we managed to hastily arrange.  Good work on that one Sasha.  I took my remote control dog, she loved it, so did her big brother!  We did some lovely nail painting too.
Had a lovely walk around the lake in Thatcham in the afternoon sunshine, played on the park, did a jigsaw in the visitor centre....all very nice.  We tried to go bowling but the place was heaving.  We booked in for 5:30 and went home instead.
So, back to the bowling alley, Nate came along with Alan and Hayley.  We had a game even better than bowling going on...Pass the Nate between goes!  We all got lots of cuddles.

Sunday

It was the last sportshall match of the season at Eton.  Being the last one it meant we had the Grand Prix race, a kind of obstacle race which we were all really looking forward to.  I was running the last leg of the relay and my three team mates had put in a brilliant performance so far, I was handed the baton with a pretty decent lead.  It was os exciting running at the front and I was determined to stay out there for my lap.  I managed it, I corssed the line first and Team Kennet erupted!  It's fair to say we haven't won much in our little team of 7 and 8 year olds in the under 11 category but we've certainly enjoyed ourselves.  Our team manager also told Mum and Dad she was seriously impressed with my effort and determination over the season....how cool!  Ned's lot did very well too, coming fourth overall in the team competition, just missing out on a medal.  They were also the young ones in their category and have another year in the under 13's being year 7's. 

Monday

I was very relaxed at after school dance this week, we had to choreograph our own routine.  As such the pressure was off and we just enjoyed it for what it was really.

Not quite such a relaxing activity once I was home though, boxing:

I fashioned myself some toilet roll boxing gloves and burst into the front room linking a few moves together.  These went down very well, i'm not sure I was as threatening as I was funny though:
