We're drawing near the end of the outdoor athletics season at Team Kennet, but it's still lovely weather wise, even if it is getting darker a bit earlier. Sunset over Greenham Common was pretty good:
Thursday
The good weather was still with us so what better after school than a trip to the outdoor pool? Northcroft had other ideas though and saw firpt to close the outdoor pool last weekend! What a downer, we had to go indoors instead and although I thought I may as well make the best of it and enjoy it forwhat it was
Mum and Dad weren't nearly so enthusiastic. We did have a laugh though, especially with our efforts at synchronsed swimming. Mum has hidden talents is all im going to say.
Friday
Last day of the week at last, and Chelsea's last day at our school, so a mixd day really.
We spent the evening getting things ready for tomorrow morning.....
Saturday
A big mornng, we were having Lily round and our guest of honour, Chelsea. She's leaving our school and indeed leaving our country on Monday to go back to Trindad. She's only been with us a year or so but I think it's fair to say she has become one of my very most favoured cohorts. She has been a real breath of fresh air for us with her endless enthusiasm and happy nature. So anyway, we had a great morning playing with my extensive teddy collection, a music recital with my keyboard, a bit of disco session with my Itunes blaring out before the weather dried up enough to allow us out into the garden for a quick go on the rope swing and a few games of swingball.
I had taken lunch ordes and Dad sorted out our pizzas, doughballs and salad, before mum sorted the puddings, profiterroles and a selection of ice cream!
We put the potentially sad occasion to one side and had a really great morning:
Sadly though it couldn't last forever and we had to go and drop Chelsea off at her now pretty much empty home....there may have been a few tears.....
So Chelsea it's been a pleasure, I hope it works out for you and hopefully we'll keep in touch via email.
We sat and had a bit of a regroup before we went of to Charlotte's barbecue.
Becuse she's been dead clever at college and passed her accountancy exams she thought she'd have a bit of a celebration. What was even cleverer was having at her Mum's place, Sue is brilliant at this sort of thing and it was great to see her again after a long time. The weather wasn't great it has to be said but we certainly had a good time.
We did escape out into the garden for a bit as it brightened right up in the late afternoon:
Sunday
Chessington today......hopefully
I would be past my 1.40m target so I could gon Rameses Revenge. We went on a few rides to warm up and then called into guest services to get officially measured. After an initial failure and a bit of posture work I reached the lofty heights og 141.5cm....and got a wristband to prove it to the ride operators! I was chuffed to bits and made use of ot on the nearby Rattlesnale rollercoaster that none of us had been on before. It was epic.
We took lunch at the sealion show:
Then it was time for Rameses Revenge......
We called it a day after that and headed for home.....via the spoons for tea"
Monday
We had to speed read to finish my library book, three chapters with Mum as we're not allowed to extend the loan again.
In unprecedented scenes both us kids cleared our plates of roast dinner in a very timely manner and then I completed all my homework a whole day before it has to be handed in!
