Too hot for gymnastics, gave it a miss, stayed home and cooled off in the paddling pool instead.
Wednesday
I'd been looking forward to this one for some time, County Quad Kids championships. This year it was at Marlowe athletics track. We took Charlie along with us, we chatted solidly the whole way there which didn't much help Mum with her navigation. She got us there perfectly on time though and we helped Mr Swann set up the gazebo which was much much needed with it being so hot and sunny.
First up was the Vortex, I did okay at that:
I ran good race by my standards but I gave it absoloutley everything and I was totall spent. I actually felt terrible and Mum said that I had even gone properly pale.
As a result my long jump wasn't great but I did pull myself back together in time for the sprint. It was a great day out though and I got to spend a lot of time hanging out with the Falkland team, some of which will no doubt be new friends of mine at Park House come September.
Friday
So the ongoing hot weather lead to our school sprts day being cancelled. I was a bit disappointed about this for very slfish reasons. Our house captain was away on holiday this week so in the unlikely event that our hpuse won the day in my capacity as vice captain I would have had the glory of doing the victory lap with the trophy!
Friday club had a water night again, I didnt realise until I got there so it's lucky I live close enough to come, get changed, grab a towel and go back. The slip and slide was so much fun and so slippery.
I came home and decided I was cold, so got wrapped up on the sofa to watch the Crystal Maze.
Saturday
Up early and off to Aldershot Lido with Lola. It was a good job we left nice and early, we got to the front of what soon turned into a massive queue all around the carpark. The pool hadn't been open long so I think thats why the water seemed cold. Not so cold I didnt enjoy it though. I was the first one down the slides obviously as im cool like that. We had a picnic for lunch and stayed quite a while which was lovely.
When I got home there was a letter waiting for me from Park House which was all rather exciting. It had all the stuff in it about uniform and details of our upcoming taster day as well as some agreements that I needed to sign to agree on good behaviour and healthy learning ethic....I suppose Ned must have signed these too? So they obviously cant hold you to it.
In the evening we met up with the Halfords and went out for a curry at the Gun. It was delicious too, Leo recommended the tandoori chicken for a starter, he was wise to do so, it was delicious and I loved it. Ned reckoned his sheek kebab was......I hope your sitting down as you read this.....better than pizza! We shared a curry and a garlic naan bread which were both really good to, consider us converts. It was great fun sitting next to Leo,he's a real laugh and we had a lot to talk about with our Park House futures getting ever nearer. We went back to their house afterwards and fussed Hartley, he's so lovely. We also got in their pool, ran around as fast as we possibly could creating a full on whirlpool that swept us off our feet and span us round and round the pool at a hell of a rate.
Sunday
Up early today, a trip to Cribbs Causeway for a spot of shopping. I had a few things in mind for our upcoming leavers disco. I didnt find anything i really wanted but I did enjoy trying on a lot of very high heeled shoes. I did enjoy my McDonalds lunch though before we battled our way across Bristol to pick up Auntie Christine and Auntie Trish from the airport afer their holiday to Portugal. Seems like they had a lovely time so good for them.
Monday
Weird day at school today, it was the St Barts taster day so most of year 6 were missing. The rest of us spent the day painting the scenery for the leavers play. To be honest, most of the oaint seemed to find it's way on to me or my clothes.
I also had a bit of accident involving falling backwards onto a table which had a pencil sticking upright in a pencil pot. This ended up rather stuck into my head, which was quite alarming. Amber pulled it out for me as I didnt want to make matters worse by ripping out a load of hair with it!
I went down the park after school, it wasn't great as people are being very antisocial by spending all their time fiddling with their mobile phones instead of actually interacting....
