Tuesday
Park house sports club for a brief spell this afternoon.  It was okay, but I didn't know anyone there and they were all pallied up by the time I got there in the afternoon.  Still, the sport was good so I enjoyed that.  It was quite a warm day so when Dad picked me up I convinced him we ought to go to the outdoor pool.  We hastily packed a picnic and headed off down there, arranging for Mum to meet us when she had finished work.  We enjoyed it as long as the sun lasted but once the wind got up a bit and the clouds came over it got a bit chilly.......we toughed it out until pretty much closing time all the same of course.

Wednesday
Day off with Mum and a trip to the Bowling alley.  I ran Ned close on this one for sure, but he biggest news was that we both beat Mum:
It was t all good news though, the candy floss machine has gone!
I had to console myself with the cuddly toy grabber......I had my eye on one of the teddies....but won a doggie instead.  I was happy enough with that.
We had a game of air hockey, Ned found one of the grabber machine teddies under the machine and gave me that....what a result.  Sometimes, occasionally he's actually okay.
He was pretty good at pool too, pulled off a hell of a trick shot with his arms behind his back to pot the ball.

Thursday
Went put with Auntie Vhristine and Darcey today, we had a geeat time at Newbury Museum of all places.  There was loads of historical dressing up stuff that we loved.  Pizza Hut for lunch too......
Ned and Dad went out biking, so I got a bit creative at home, drawing, making, using up sellotape, all the usual stuff before I hit on this idea:
Its a swear box for Dad, an injury whinge box for me and a shower dodging box for Ned.  We couldn't come up with a crime for Mum though......

Friday
Park House sports club for the second time today.  Much better it was too. I made a friend, we played dodge ball, bench ball and corner ball. I loved it all.  Sadly I couldn't convince Dad to take me to the pool this time, it was pretty grey, cold and wet though.

Saturday
I suggested we revisit Basingstoke for crazy golf after we got rained off last time.  It was sunny and nice first thing.....but as soon as we got there it was hammering it down again.  So we waited for it to pass over....which took a while.....then got playing.  It was a goodcourse, fairly basic but deceptively tricky in places.  I had an up and down sort of game and Mum made up for her poor show at bowling earlier in the week by taking the win.
With the sun still out we hastily arranged a quick afternoon drink at the Craven Arms with Kimi, Marny, Finlay and Milly which was lovely.  Almost as lovely as the tiny kittens playing in the field next to the car park....cute overload.
I stayed up late to watch Usain Bolt's last race, bit of a disappointment especially with Gatlin winning.

Sunday
Family bike ride day today, another one of Dad's internet sourced routes.  This time Calne to Chippenham along a disused railway line.
Very pleasant it was too, except for the occasional patch of mud to contend with.
My riding has improved drasticallyin recent months: 
And i'm really enjoying it:
We made it to Chippenham for an ice cream and a play in the park before heading back.
My poor littke legs were rather tired by the time we got back:
It wasrasily the longest distance i'd ever managed at 13.9 miles no less!

Monday
Off with Mum today, trip to the library as im really into readingst the moment.  I fnished my last book 'Theres a werewolf in my tent' in a couple of days.
Once Dad was home we went to Cars 3 at the cinema.....Dad was a lot more exciteable than he probably shouldhave been.  We all really enjoyed it though!
Kebab van for tea.....top parenting.
