Nedster's World now featuring Ellis!

Tuesday

In light of recent selection for the school football team, we took a trip to the sports shop after gymnastics.....I needed some football boots. Great, another excuse for yet more footwear!

Wednesday

I'm not a morning sort of person, sometimes, well it's a real struggle:

I had perked up enough by the time I got home form school to get my new boots on and go for some football practice down the park. Ned came along too and was actually a really good coach and we didn't even end up having a fight! I even had enough energy to put in a decent effort at Team Kennet in the evening too, it's a good job I keep something back in the mornings I reckon.

Thursday

More football practice down the park after school, this time though a load of the lads from my class were playing so I joined in with them instead.

Friday

Mum had seen an advert for a free dance show taking place in the market place so we rtook a walk in to town on a reasonably nice evening to see what was going on. It all looked rather promising it has to be said, there was a carousel set up in the middle with benches all set up around it so we got a seat and waited for the forst of the acts to start. It was a juggling act and it wasn't anywhere near where we had sat! Having made the effort to go and have a look we were a little bit on the disappointed side with the act. We were hoping the Dance performance was going to be better..It was, I loved it! The show was called Carousel, it featured some amazing dancing and acrobatics as wll as a scary witch character. I was really into it and danced all the way home....

Saturday

We were up reasonably early for another of Ned's driving lessons at the showground.
In the adjoining field were a load of lorries parked up to let a load of racing pigeons go. I was seriously intrigued by this and when one of the smaller lorries let their pigeons go it looked amazing as hundreds of them flew off, their wings catching the sun as they banked and weave before setting off for their home.
We watched Ned pull away again very expertly and then he sort of disappeared off into the far reaches of the road system at the show ground.
We had a kick about on the field (I had taken my boots of course) and before any time at all he was back!!! Apparently he got up to 4th gear this time so was mighty pleased with himself.

We went home, got the bikes out and rode into town for lunch with Nate, Alan, Hayley, Anne and Mike. Anne seems to have recovered from her horse riding incident so thats good. We went to the 'Spoons so that was a good start to things, we still love it in there!
Once we'd done lunch we went for a wander around town with Nate, Alan and Hayley before deciding on going back to our house for a game of Yeti, a play with Nate (who took a few steps unaided) and some tea.
We rounded the day off watching Britains Got Talent. Brilliant.

Sunday

We woke up to a hot and sunny summers day! Ned and I started off by cracking out the waterpistols for a waterfight and after a bit of uncalled for grumpiness from Dad the waterslide came out too, brilliant, we loooove the waterslide (video clip at end of post).
we decided a picnic at the river in Hungerford was a good idea, sadly so did a few other people so we couldn't get our usual spot on the far bank.
