Nedster's World now featuring Ellis!

Tuesday
It was badge week at Gymnastics.  So I wonder, who's brilliant idea was it to the fitness badge in this heat?  I passed all the sections we tackled in spite of the stifling conditions but it's a two-parter at least I think so we'll have to see how I get on with the rest of it.  I came home totally cooked and a newly discovered shade of bright red!

Wednesday
So the peak of the heatwave and the only thing thats kept us going has been the supply of ice pops in the freezer.  So it was a grim day when we discovered wobbly jubblies in there.  No one wants a wobbly jubbly.  It was hard to pin down the exact cause of the malfunction as it sounded like it was working, the fridge above was fine too.  There was reasonable suspicion that maybe someone had left the door open...it has been known to happen before on a few occasions.

Thursday
With the heatwave in full swing still there was nothing else on our agenda than another trip to the outdoor pool.  Dad and I were the advance party with mum coming down to meet us straight from the hairdressers.  Haha, she soon had pool hair.  With no other kid sin our party and strangely, no one else I knew down there (oh, except one girl from gymnastics) I got Dad involved in a diving session at the deep end when it was sufficiently clear of idiotic teenagers.

It must have been a hot day as the people at the pool had actually changed the expected daily temperature to 30 degrees, even though it was a good few notches higher than that.

Friday
In terms of my friends being about this week, it's been a bit thin in the goround as they have all been at the St Barts summer school.  They finished a bit earier today though so wehn Luca came round to deliver the disclaimer form for his upcoming birthday party I was more than happy to go down the park with him.  Well, until it stared thundering and then raining pretty heavily.  I ran home in slippery flip flops as quick as I could.

Saturday
We were rudely beaten out of bed for a shopping trip today.

It wasnt too bad though, Ned was on reasonable form and was actually rather amusing.

We went to Southampton, I got myself a new school bag and a couple of new swimming costumes. I nearly got some new football boots and school shoes too, but they weren't quite right.

Ned actually got hmself some new stuff too for once, rather than just complaining he hasn't got anything to wear anymore because it's all too small.

I was home in time for Luca's party, Wobsticle down at Northcroft.  It was great fun and good to see eceryone after a week in a bit of a wilderness.

Sunday
Well today was rather notabel, it rained.  It really rained, pretty much all day too.

We had a roast dinner which I was most excited about as we hadn't had one in a couple of months I reckon?

Obviously i'd never admit to being bored of the school holidays already, but today, I started todying my room....

Monday
Had a proper long lay in today which was nice.  I did finally get out of bed to go and see the Incredibles 2 with Mum and Dad once he was home from work.  We'd all been looking forward to this one and I think we all felt a little disappointed with it.  I mean it was good, but just not as good as the first one.

I admitted over tea that I would actually quite like to start at Park House now and not wait another five weeks.  I'm so excited to go and meet my new friends....
