It was the St Barts open evening, I hate having to sit through the head teachers presentations but at least I got to make a lovely Dough Plait in the food tech room and bumped into Abi and had a game of badminton with her in the sports hall.
Wednesday
Our first week of after school Tag Rugby club, after my initial nervousness passed I really enjoyed it, despite being the only girl there! It did take a while to get used to only passing backwards though.....
It's a bit of a big sporting day on a Wednesday now as we have PE during the day and then Team Kennet in the evening. Evie from school joined this week so that was nice.
We had to call in to Sports Direct on the way home so I could get a football kit for Friday....
Thursday
Park House open evening, a bit of open evening jadedness had kicked in by this, the third trip round. Ned was helping out for the night in the PE department so we had to drop him off meaning we were there pretty early. This meant everything was still pretty quiet and we got to have a good old nosey about. Lola appeared with Teagan so that was fun. Ned was doing a great job in the Sportshall, getting people to have a go at some standing long jump, recording their measurements and giving out tips as well as talking to the parents. The gym was a great too, even if I did exhaust myself giving the rowing machine a good going over (at it's maximum resistance setting).
Friday
Our first week of girls Football club.
We all had a stint in goal, I did surprisingly (worryingly) well.
In line with my new sporting regime it was pretty full on, finish football, get changed go to gymnastics!
Mum and Dad went off to a quiz in the evening, brilliant, we had Trish for babysitting! obviously it was a late night......
Saturday
Ned's rugby season has started again at school so we went up to watch him play. Despite my initial whingeing it was actually quite pleasant, it was warm, the sun was out and all I had to be concerned about was the year 9's playing on the pitch behind us. I was terrified they'd come flying off their pitch and into us in the narrow strip between the pitches. Ned played well and it was interesting to watch what they did after my first week of tag rugby. There were drinks, doughnuts and biscuits after the game too.....very civilised.
Waitrose next for lunch provisions. The bakery cheesecake fridge looked to be broken though so no luxury cheesecake.
We had a lazy afternoon before going Roller Skating later on. Dad and I had done a few high speed laps holding hands before I managed to trip over my own wheels somehow and take the pair of us down in quite spectacular fashion. We were physically unscathed though.
Sunday
A proper day out today Warwick Castle (covered by the Merlin Passes). Okay, well first of a bit of a grumble about the car parking.....£6 and miles away from the Castle itself. Once we had finally got in it was actually pretty cool. We wandered around a bit, climbed up some steps, took in the views then had a picnic lunch surrounded by rather forward ducks who made me jump everytime they got a bit too close to my feet under the picnic table. We carried on along side the river:
There was an archery display nearby once we'd finished that. It was really rather good, the bloke was funny and interesting although I think the descriptions were a bit on the grizzly side for poor old delicate Ned who had to go and have a few deep breaths in the trees.
We went along the ramparts and up the towers, the stairs were super steep and tightly wound their way up to some spectacular views.
We finished the day watching the trebuchet being fired, which was pretty impressive actually and a nice big Mr. Whippy which was even more so!
Monday
Darcey came round after school, we had a lovely time with the wooden railway set which doesn't come out all that often anymore....but is still very much enjoyed when it does!
