Nedster's World now featuring Ellis!

Wednesday

After school rugby went well this week, especially when at then end of the session Mr Toal decided we couldnt go until we'd taken a place kick and got the ball over the football goal cross bar for a bit of fun.  We watched everyone have a go with varying levels of sucess before it was my turn.  I placed the ball, didn't take a run up at all and hoofed it.....straight over the bar...by miles.  I think its fair to say there were a few surprised faces as I just left the filed without even looking back!

We had a bit of Pizza banquet (home made of course) before we packed Ned off on his history trip to Normandy.

Thursday

We got up bright and early to make sure Ned actually went away...ha ha. He took it all in his stride of course and disappeard quite happily onto the fancy looking double decker coach, we couldn't see him once he was on board because of the blacked out windows.

We waved him off anyway.  So, four days of peace and quiet for the rest of us, time to take it easy with a bespoke garden recliner to my own design:

It was Alans birthday and for the first time in years we weren't away on hoilday.

We took him his present round, Nate supervised:

Joel was his usual calm and quiet self.  I had to have a cuddle with him of course.

It was still quite early when we were done so Dad and I took the skateboards to the park, the paths have been freshly tarmaced so we had a lovely sunset cruise:

We did a few few runs down the slope behind the skatepark, where we got spotted by Kierans mum.

Friday

I got a Special Award in assembly, so Mum was in attendance.  It was for my massive improvment with my school work across the board.

It was the last of of the half term too, so that was nice.

We were still Nedless of course, so after tea we went over to the Craven Arms for a drink and a kick about:

Saturday

We had a bit of a garden clear up and then headed off to buy a picnic bench for the garden. So a trip to B&Q it was.  I did a great job steering the heavy and hard to control trolley with it on to the checkout and then the car.  When we got home Dad and I set about getting it built.....

We did a great job even in I do say so myself.  We didn't get any of it wrong, we didn't even shout at each other or even raise or voices.  We did manage to break two screwdrivers though.  We tested it out at lunchtime:

In the afternoon we had a low key Barbecue, Andy came round on his mobility scooter and was joined by Emma, Max, Leo and then Alan, Hayley, Nate and Joel.  We had a lovely time, cuddling Joel, playing with Nate and doing laps of the close on the mobility scooter, trampolining and burning stuff with Leo.

Sunday

We had a bit of lazy one today, we headed to the retail park to get some picninc things and bumped into Nate again.  He looked pleased to see us so we took him around Marks and Spencers for a bit until Alan and Hayley caught up with us.

Once we'd bought our provisions we headed off to Donnington Castle, pit hed our blanket under a tree and enjoyed the sunshine and a lovely view over town.

I helped Mum with her jigsaw in the afternoon, we are finally starting to make some sort of headway with it at long last.

Then it was time to go and pick Ned up, it seemed to go by in a flash.  We had all sort of missed him, a little bit anyway......

It was quite exciting to go and pick him up even though he was pretty tired and had a long day travelling.  He had been to see some cool war stuff by the sounds of it and had got himself some proper smart souvenir bullets.

Monday

I woke up in a pretty sorry way today, all poorly and under the weather.

So we didn't do much, more jigsaw......and then a McDonalds for tea followed by Britains Got Talent semi final on telly.
