Netball trials were cancelled this week due to heavy rain. Shame, I was quite up for it. I went back to Sashas straight after scool to play before going to gymnastics.
We've made up after our minor disagreement so thats good.
Wednesday
In a recurring theme, Team kennet was cancelled due to rain as well as netball yesterday. Summer is here! Did rain a lot though....the playground was completely flooded at one point.
Thursday
Well the rain eased enough for us to participate in a six a side girls football tournament up at the rugby club:
We were in high spirits, despite me having to go in goal for the first game, not a position ive played before, having said that we haven't really done much practice at all:
I managed to keep a clean sheet for the first game as we drew 0-0.
That was to be the theme of our tournament, we drew a further three games 0-0 and eventually lost our last game 4-1. So we hadnt done enough to qualify for the semi finals sadly.
When I got home the garage had been re-roofed, the timber they used smelt lovely, going in there smelt like a giant rabbbit hutch!
Friday
I got home from school to smell my favourite meal cooking, yes we having ribs for tea!
A full rack, with corn on the cob and potato wedges...lovely.
We went down the park after tea dor some athletics training but had to abandon that due to some squabbling issues between Ned and I. Oh dear.
Saturday
I was a late recruit to the quad kids team, despite not having attended any of the training sessions the Innov-8 coaches put me forward. Everyone at home was really pleased as Ned has a long history of particiating in this event. So theres four events, standing long jump, 400 metre run, 50 metre sprint and the vortex throw.
We started off with the standing longjump. I put in a decent effort on this one, its certainly one of my favoured events. Next up was my 400 metre run, my least favourite event. Our team made a pact to not allow ourselves to come last. I was delighted to come comfortably mid pack in my heat:
Next up was the sprint, which I normally struggle to make a good start on. This time though I was away like a bullet and finished my heat in second place, I was very pleased with that.
Leaving the final event, the vortex, my favourite. The feedback from Mum and Dad wasnt that positive for my throwing efforts....I thought i'd done okay though, and they couldn't see properly from where they were watching from.
We had a great day, the weather was perfect as well for once as we normally get at least a bit of rain. There was a bit of time to kill as the results were collated:
In the evening we made a trip out to the Craven Arms with Alan and Nate. Now Nates getting a bit bigger he can have a go on the swings:
And drink Capri Sun's:
We even got to take him home with us afterwards to watch the Eurovision song contest (which was pretty rubbish):
Sunday
We walked up to Park House late morning, there was a rynning event on and a few school bits and bobs too. Ned couldnt get enough of the sumo wrestling set up:
He was pretty good actually.
I favoured the bouncy slide/castle/obstacle course:
And the archery was pretty good too:
We had a burger from the barbecue and then an ice cream from the van.....a double cornet too!
We walked back home, had a quiet afternoon, played Wii party and had a crack at some homework.
Monday
It was today that the Quad Kids results were posted, so that induced high levels of excitement as i've already mentioned. I got two lots of words to remember for our class assembly on Friday so thats good. And also found my school shoes (they had been missing for about a week) and about 58 drinks bottles i'd lost over the last couple of weeks (one of which was Ned's so thats calmed him down a bit).
