Went to the Pool with mum again this afternoon. Ned obviously didnt want to come and Dad had already gone to the bikepark. What a pair of fools, it was boiling hot and we pretty much had it to ourselves too. We even got to squeegee the changing room floor which was very therapeutic, I can't resist a good old squeegee session.
After tea we went to try out the new trim trail in Penwood. We went to the wrong woods at first but did have a nice walk, enjoying the tall trees and having a chat.
After a brief google we found the right woods and the trail. It wasn't the best thing in the world but it was entertaining enough.
A fallen tree is always good for a climb:
Wednesday
Uniform stuff today, my new shoes arrived, very smart too. I did don my whole new ensemble but I think i'll keep those sort of pictures for next week when i'm officially a Park House pupil.
Thursday
Mini Golf today, a trip to Tidal Bay in the not very coastal Basingstoke, well Sherfield on Loddon anyway.
It was really good too, well, except for Ned being a pain in the neck with his 'jokes'
The course was fun, quite tricky in places though but there were some massive carp in the ponds ans some really cute turtles in another pool too. I wasn't in contention for the win but did play a lot better than I usually do. We sat and totted up the scores in the clubhouse over a fizzy drink:
Friday
I rediscovered my Lego today, and obviously roped Dad in to help not that he took much persuading.
Saturday
Lazy morning with a bit more Lego (we're making a plush villa, not one of the instructions driven sets) and then a trip to the Pub with all the gang. We hadn't been out there yet this summer despite the on-going good weather so it was time to put that right:
Sunday
Outdoor Pool again. Ned was going with his mates too so it was all a bit awkward but it worked out okay in the end. Obviously anything a group of teenage boys try to do takes about 3 times as long as anyone else so we had plenty of dive time at the deep end before they all turned up. We'd packed the water pistol thing which was great fun until Dad squirted me right in the eye with it . We managed to successfully avoid the boys by setting up our blanket near the changing rooms knowing full well that they would head to the far side. He did come over to tell us that they were leaving and was very pleasant. When we got home he even thanked us for giving him plenty of space down there which was nice.
Monday
So with the holidays drawing to a close it's time to cram a few more activities in. trampolining today at Red Kangaroo in Reading. I had been here before so was desperate to show it off to the others. I think they liked it too!
Like all these places it has it's own unique features that make it fun, like this total wipeout inspired sweep game:

There was also an airbag as well as the more standard foam pits that Dad and Ned seemed to enjoy.
These barriers between trampolines were great fun (and much higher in real life than they look on these pictures) It took me a while to get over this one even though Ned made it look incredibly easy:
The light up button press game thing almost finished off Mum and Dad I think. Having said that, by the end of the hour we were all pretty much done. With very pink faces.
Mum had made tonight's spaghetti Bolognese, the memory still lingers from last time she made it (albeit years ago) with the salt overload but she redeemed herself with tonights effort. Even Ned finished his plateful with zero whingeing which is unheard of.
he must be in a good mood actually as I was even allowed to talk about how excited I am to be starting school on Wednesday, a subject that was previously banned in his presence.....
