Banana Phone!


This is absolutely genius!
Ahh how I love Stumbleupon.
I REALLY WANT ONE.
That is all. :)

Tenty


Well, my favourite website (mostly because I can spend many an hour on it.. and it's educational, so surely can be counted as revision) at the moment is http://www.oddee.com/
So, combining the fact that it's almost summer, so almost Y Not time, and the fact that I love oddee together was to me, a pretty exciting blog post.

This tenty, floats in mid air (when attached to a tree), which means that essentially, you're levitating. GENIUS. Pity Y Not doesn't have any trees..

I used to have a friend that was allergic to glitter.


She had to take special medicine if she was to be in contact with it.
And she wasn't imaginary! Crazy days.

In the summer I bought some edible glitter. It was an amazing day.

The Mighty Boosh


I love it. More than life. :D

Revision, school & the long summer ahead

q

This summer is going to be gooood, if you ignore the whole exam thing..

But 4 more days at school ever (until 6th form) can't be bad.

And only 12 more exams to go...

And the summer, and a 3 month long holiday :)

And all will be well if I do some actual revision, which is why I've started to make a 'revision folder', to put all of the work I'm going to do in it.

The next step will be tidying my desk, so I can actually do some work.. ceeeebs.

:)

The Cribs


1000 Cribs plays, and 17700 genners last.fm scrobbles.

Today is a good day. :)

Arcadian Babes

Aren't they nice.
You should probably 'like' them on this up and coming new website:

http://www.music.nme.com/arcadiandays

They have pirate parties.. :)

My Life is Average.

"Today, I died from not passing on a chain mail. This is the 117th time this has happened. MLIA"

"Today I realised that every story on MLIA has something to do with ninjas, where's Waldo, Facebook, or something that happened at school. This one is about bagels. They're delicious. MLIA"

Genius. :)

It's all over.

For this week, anyway. Times are good, now it's just a 4 day weekend to look forward to. :)

Also, toffee crisp = yes.

Plimsolls and other exotic footwear.

I remember the days when I used to judge people on what shoes they wore.

Fun times.

Saturday, 24 April 2010

Que fais-tu pour aller a la maison?

Really, with french speaking looming, I should be doing some genners prep for it. But no. It'll be fiiine. (it always is, right?) So I think page marking and having my books open counts as revision. Ohhh, ceebs.

Babes' Birthday.


Gazebos, party hats, party tea, streamers, bunting, guitarring, trampoline, nice chats, blankets, dressing up, cake, vinyls, party bags, and lovely weather.


It was so nice. :)

There are so many things I could blog about

But, I don't know where to start. Because although, my life never is overally interesting, I still like to have nice chats about genners life, and however interesting it is, and whatnot. And I'm easily amused, and I genners have more to talk about when I'm wasting time and supposed to be doing something else.

Yeah? Maybs.

Saturday, 10 April 2010

Chats


I haven't 'blogged' in a fair while.
And I'm up early, and it's a Saturday, and I should be revising, and haven't got anything else to do.

So, I'm sat uploading holiday photies from my camera, and charging my iPod, and listening to Bon Iver, and wondering what else to do that is suitable I've-just-come-back-from-holiday-y.

I could tell you al about it, and my life, and whatnot, but I'm getting old, so can't as such remember..

So here is a nice picture of a MASSIVE treehouse we went to whilst at Alnwick Gardens on Thursday. I'd say now, I'd like my house to be like that, but still metallic and pink and a Georgian townhouse, and a log cabin. So if we can incorporate all of those ideas, I'd be very appreciative, yes? :)

Teletubbies.

I was discussing the childhood revelation in English today with Rachel and Ben.
And the big question was: WHY?
They are people in brightly coloured suits, with antennae on their heads, and TVs on their tummies. And they frolic around.
There are such things as tellytubby custard, tellytubby toast, and that hoover called Noonoo. (where noonooish comes from).
Doesn't it teach small children to be disobedient, too? Like, when they say goodbye at the end of the episode, they don't go to bed straight away! Disgraceful. I can't quite remember, though, so correct me if I am wrong.
And also, the sun is actually a chuckling child.

Okat, if you can read that, it is a description of the four teletubbies. Basically, it is a large innuendo.

(Okat, I have now got bored of all of this Teletubby talk. Maybe I should find something productive to do with my time, like nothing. :)
I should go back to japes, not rambles. Terribly sorry)

Quilts.

So, inspired by said textilesy things, Babes and me have decided to make a quilt, with all of the genius and horrif material from the scrap material box. My personal favourites of said material include some bright blue lycra, and camel curtain material. Put together, they look genius. :D

Thursday, 4 March 2010

Creativity and rambling.

Today, I spent the maj of lunchtime in the Textiles department, perusing various friends' work. They were all in various stages of dressmaking, and all looked pretty impressive.
I concluded that I should have textiles talent, as opposed to have taken Music for GCSE. Because, (and I know they taught you when you were a small child NEVER to start a sentence with because.. anyway) with Textiles, you have something to show for what you've done, and clothes are genners (for most, at the very least some sort of strategically placed garment), and so people know what is good, and bad.. so, like, a sack would be said as being not 'good' textiles (although, arguably, how well made said sack is is not known), and a sweeping silky decorative piece of flamboyance, would be seen as so damn exotic, it must be brilliant. I can't quite remember what I was saying.
Ahh yes. So, with music, it's kind of debateable (unless you are a music snob), as to if someone will notice that much effort put into all those pretty little notes on a page. I suppose with playing, it's slightly easier, but little technical detail... okay, I have no idea where I'm going with this.

Also, scrunchies are frowned upon.

Apologies.

Okay, I lie, that wasn't the 160th post, it was only the 151st. So I just missed the 150th post. Ahh well. I guess nobody really cares.

I hope you've all had a lovely Thursday.

Wednesday, 3 March 2010

Thursday!

I like Thursdays.

And this is the 160th post. Ignore that I completely missed the 150th one, but we can't have everything. :)

Wasting Time.

I spend pretty much half of my life doing nothing.
So, I decided to do something productive, in a way, this eve, and research to some extent time management, why we waste time, and whatnot. As a way of wasting time.

So, I started out doing Chemistry homework (about Nanochemistry), and ended up on the National Statistics website. And I found a 'Time Use Survey' of people in 2005. And the outcome of this is that British people spend most of their time sleeping, working and watching TV (and genners leisure). And they spend the least amount of time in a day 'resting', and 'personal care'. And I guess resting could also mean doing nothing.

So really, the outcome of this that we should all just carry on with our lives, doing things we enjoy, but also spend some of our time doing nothing. It's good for us, after all. :)

Naaah to brown.

On reflection, I have realised that having an entirely brown blog was just too much.
It's japey, and exciting, but also HORRENDOUS.
So, back to normal, for the better :)

We can't have everything.

There's no such word as can't.
Perseverence is the key.
If you don't try, you will never know.
Listen, people could be saying things that might benefit life.
You only live once.
And, above all, we can't have everything.

Okay?

:)

Monday, 1 March 2010

Brown.

Just for japes.

Moo.

I can't go to sleep yet because there is a cow that is busy mooing outside my window.

Saturday, 27 February 2010

Llamas.

Their faces get me every time :)
(Thankies, babes :)

Is Winter over yet?


I haven't posted pictures for ages! It's just been all ramble. Is that bad?

Unexpected Loveliness.

You know when you're not expecting something to make you happy, and then you realise it really does?
Normally it's just small things.
Like today, just having tea with my fam, was really nice. And we had out-of-date peshwari naans with Chilli con Carne whilst having chats about genners things. It was just, lovely.
And earlier, when I made friends with an old lady whilst in Marks and Spencers when I was trying on a weddingy hat. It was great. :)

Simple things are genius.

Anyway.

Abnormally Large Grapes.

Okay, I just realised I didn't actually mention the grapes in the last post, I just got over excited about the 'lympics.

:D

Terribly sorry. So, yes. My dad has been food shopping this eve, and he bought home lots of exciting things, including some ridiculously large grapes. They were genius. And beasts!

And very tasty. :)

Abnormally Large Grapes & Winter Olympics.

I've spent this evening watching the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Not in Vancouver, sadly. Just at home. :) But, whenever I want to watch something exciting like the Bobsleigh or speed skating, or skiiing, or something, it's always showing curling. Apparently it's 'really difficult', but really, it is incredibly boring watching people sweeping. So, each to their own.

So, tonight it was the Ski Cross, which is incredibly exciting.

The most interesting bit is when they fall over, it always is.
So tonight, they showed some highlights of bobsleigh, showing someone's horrific ice burns from falling out of the bobsleigh. Which look absolutely horrendously painful. And also, on the Ski Cross, I've seen people battling to get infront, all whilst going around corners and jumping over various things. On skis. It's pretty technical, really. But also inevitable that some of them will fall over. :) And, t'other day was speed skating. Where they have ice skates, and go really fast round a track, for a long distance, just lapping. And when they all knock each other over, it's also very funny. But also, when the speed skaters go around the corner, they are going at such an angle that they can touch the floor with their hands. 'mazing.

I guess this one has just been a long ramble at how amazing winter sport is. But, it is really very great. :D

Wooden Flutes & Lazy Afternoons

We rescued loads of things from behind the piano yesterday. Among the various things we found, there was a wooden flute. It is more like a wooden recorder, and is incredibly exciting (and incredibly dusty).
I love playing and finding random new and exciting instruments, I don't quite know why. Something different, I suppose. So, the discovery of this was so exciting, I've blogged about it.
But not really exciting enough to devote an entire blog post to it.

So, the second part of this is about my day today. It's the last day of half term, and so today has been spent lazing around, pyjamaing, and doing homework. So, an incredibly productive day. We're also snowed in, although it's not as bad as before, I think you can mostly see the road now.

Anyway. I was doing music homework earlier, which was to find definitions of various musical terms. And it was all fine, the internet is a brilliant source of definitions, but is also full of distractions. So, I came across a crumhorn.
As you do.

And, I thought it was quite interesting. It turns out, a 'crumhorn' is an old woodwind instrument, and is German for 'bent horn'.


Anyway. :)

Lovely Days

I've had such a nice time for the past 4 days, it was lovely to spend so much time with Ellie and Alex, and Alex, Ollie, and all those japers that came to see Arcadian Babes play on Wednesday.

I may now be absolutely knackered, but it was definitely worth it.

Thankyou, so much :)

Friday, 19 February 2010

Alex's Post

Possibly the most exciting bit of my life to date? Yes, I think so.
To think, a little bit of me on the internet. It's literally amazing.

I guess that in the manic excitement of the moment I've ran out of things to say. What a terrible conundrum. Well..

I am having a very nice half term holiday so far, shame it has to end. Currently I'm sat on one of the Sterrit houses' sofa's, with Ellie cuddled/asleep/dead beside me. And I'm on James! Who is well and truly alive!

It's amazing.

I do hope I get to find my way on the internet again soon. In the meantime i'll fill my time with lots of exciting antics to report back.
All my love,

Alex (boy Alex) xxxxxxxxxxxxxXD

Exciting Mountain Goat actual picture.


So, yes. Mountain Goat babez.

It's 'mazin.

:)

Mountain Goat Collages

It's been an exciting half term, really.
It's the last holiday before Easter, which sounds all ominous, because it's almost GCSE's, and having to do work, and whatnot.


So, on Monday, I spent the day with a good fellow named Ellie, and her little brother. And we made collages, and it was all very exciting.
And I tried my hardest to be all arty.
And I even included a mountain goat, to lighten the entire thing somewhat. It's very casual.



(okat, well there WAS going to be a nice mountain goat photie on here. But it's not cooperating. Sad times.)

Riveting Coathanger Related Conversing

When we were ont' bus home today, I am not sure how this conversation emerged, but it was about coathangers, and strategically placing said coathangers on one's naked body, if they were ever in such a situation that would require them to do so.

Supermarket Parking.

So, I spent my Wednesday afternoon food shopping with my mum and Sister.
And we went to Morrisons.
And, were parking the car.
My mum proceeded to park as close as possible to the trolley park 'because it's convenient!'
And so came the jape that my mum was infact using the trolley park as a garage.
Anyway.

Arcadian Babes


Last night, I went to see the new musical phenomenon that is Arcadian Babes. And for only £2! By next year, it'll cost at least £50 for a seated ticket!

So, yes. Arcadian Babes are genius.

And I even got to go to the afterparty!

:)

Monday, 15 February 2010

Home!

They're back. What good timing!

39 years to this day.

I know 39 isn't as exciting as 40, but it's not 40 years yet, so sorry. :)

So, yes.
39 years ago today was the official change in the UK from old money to decimalisation.
How very exciting!

I have too much time on my hands. I think my fam should come home soon.

:)

Lucy's Birthday Cake.


I spent this evening making Lucy's birthday cake, to take to school tomorrow.

One side of the icing is a bit of a fail (but you can't see it on this photie..:) And we can't have everything.
:)

Vampire Weekend.


On Monday night I went to see Vampire Weekend in Manchester with my friends.
It was amazing. :D

General Blogging.

Hey there.

Blog blog blog.

Today was really exciting. I helped a small child when her lunch was all over the floor at school today. I hope she appreciated it, we had a nice chat. :)

And also today I actually recorded my ensemble piece, for music.
I liked it, and now I probably won't get shot by my teacher, as it was actually in for October.. :)

All is well.

Friday, 5 February 2010

James

James, my laptop, is back, as of yesterday, and he's all a-okay. :)

So, I guess I better start blogging again.

Or go to bed.

This will just be all rambly and silly, then.

I'm going to bed at 00:18. Fo' sho'. It's a nice number.

Keh.

:)

Monday, 1 February 2010

Arty.


I've always been arty.

:D

Owl City.

NO. Just NO.

That song, Fireflies, follows me EVERYWHERE.

AAAAAARGH.

Number 2




This is of me as a bridesmaid in 1996. My toy rabbit, Flora, was too. We had matching dresses. Nowadays, Flora is rather battered and has cateracts. Sad times.
The one underneath proves I've been a japer fo' lyfe. :D
Regards, x

No posts, old photie of Hannah.


Sorry. I haven't 'blogged' in SUCH a long time. It is mainly to do with James. He is ready to come home now, but I don't know when he's being collected, sadly.

So, here are a series of Hannah photies that I found whilst looking through loads of albums today.

The first of which, a beautiful dress.. and I've always been a drinker.. :)

Sunday, 24 January 2010

James and Laura.

So, James is still dead, as far as I know. And I can't keep pestering my fam about what's happening with him, and they just get annoyed. Sadly.

So, on Wednesday will be a week since he went for repair, and hopefully we'll have heard something about him. Hopefully :)

So, James is my laptop. And Laura is Ellie's laptop. (James' bit on the side. They're practically related..)

Laura is less of a fail than James, but she still has issues.

:)

Ellie's Laura.


Well, sorry about the lack of posts, I know I said I'd blog lots this weekend, but it didn't happen.
So, this is a nice photie from Ellie's taplop of my piano concert, where we all looked lovely, and nice, and all that, and I'd just played a nice tune for being really nice.

:D:D

Thursday, 21 January 2010

Time Outs.

I just planted a time out scavenger hunt type thing around my kitchen.

That'll make them last longer, I hope.

Some of them are pretty shady, I'll have you know.

Anyway.

(And yes, I do realise it is half 12, on a Thusday evening.)

:D:D

Headphones.

Earlier, I accidentally dipped my iPod headphone into a mug of tea.

I hope it's okay, and enjoyed the drink.

:)

Answer machines.

Sister spent literally 15 minutes trying to listen to a message on the answerphone, and trying to 'say 1' instead of pressing 1, on the phone, to get the message. It didn't work.

But was incredibly entertaining.

:)

I don't care.


Nope, I don't care.

111 posts.

I missed it! By 5 posts! Gutted!

Sorry about the recent lack of posts, I am very noonooish. And had a science exam.

Terribly sorry.

Regards, xx

Monday, 18 January 2010

Tea.

Is 'mazing.

Although, I always forget when I've drunk a whole mug full, and you just want another sip, but there's none left, so you can't.

Sad times.

Different computers.


It's entertaining being on different computers, and seeing what photies from the past are on all of them.
My laptop, James, has just all my music, and various musical sibeliusy stuff, and loads of pictures from after 2008 on it. (until it died. But, fortunately, it's all backed up on the terrabyte, yeah!)

My mum's computer has just got loads of her photies, and all of the old photies of mine from before James.
My dad's computer has loads of work photies on it, all of which are not that interesting at all. And then the occasional photie of old times. This one I found.
It is from the school fashion show in 2008. Pretty exciting :)

Planning.

I love when everything works out.

And I know everything will always be okay, because it always is.
(Another little life motto.)


So, when you try and plan something, but you just don't have enough days in the week to do what you really want, but it requires meticulous planning, because everything else gets in the way. Erm, yes. It's annoying.

The Past.




We should probably ignore these photies 'fo lyfe.

But, today I am on Ian Babes' laptop.
And these photies are on it.
That japer on the left of both the photies?
That is me, about 5/6 years ago.
What a japer.
:)

Big Bird.


Ahh, oh how I miss those days. (Nostalgic maize.. I heart Arcadian Babes)
When I went to see Sesame Street Live when I lived in America.
:D
"Big Bird is an eight-foot two-inch tall bright yellow bird. He can roller skate, ice skate, dance, sing, write poetry, draw and even ride a unicycle.It is believed that Big Bird is probably a giant canary."
YEAH. :D

Houses.

This is just an entire blog post devoted to a certain Alex McKenzie..

And a little bit about houses.
Everyone likes houses, right?

Very Old Days.




I'm just wondering if you remember these photies, Ellie..

And if you don't, I am eternally sorry.

:D

Arty photie.


To make up for the others :)

This was taken in Wales, somewhere. I think.
In 2098.

Maybe..
How arty.

Casual Punctuation.


It's everywhere I look!
How does nobody notice! :-

Painting.



This afternoon, my mum, Sister and I painted some of the hallway white.
In the end, it just turned out to be me painting, and my mum clearing up all of the paint that got everywhere.
It was fun.
Also, we ignore the green jeans and navy jumper. They are both from the past. :)

The top picture was taken BEFORE I got all painty. And when I say painty, I mean painty.
And the other one is when I got paint in my eye. Not fun times. :D
We do not question how I got paint in my eye. And also, why I looked like an old lady because my hair had been touching the ceiling so was white also.

Before the painting commenced, I was debating whether to just forget about A Levels and start a career in painting.
After, I think it'd be best to accept that I will never be a decorating genius.

Sad, sad times.

Saturday, 16 January 2010

Reactions.

Blogger told me to add some reactions. So now you can tell me what you thought. How exciting. Thankies..

Limes and Haircuts.


It's been a very eventful day, one might say.
I've had a haircut. Which was exciting in itself.

Now my fam and I are making Key Lime Pie. Slimming style. The amount of moaning that Sister has made from grating the zest of some limes. It's incredibly entertaining. Also, it turns out, we only needed the zest from 2 limes, not 4. Baha. Anyway..
This is a free lime that they gave us in Manchester in the summer. I don't know what happened to said lime..
I guess I'll never know. :)

The Customer is Always Right.

Customer: “Excuse me, I sent a letter last week but it came back. Can you tell me why?”
Me: “Sure, do you have it with you?”
(The customer hands it over. It doesn’t take long to figure out the problem.)
Me: “Oh, okay. You’re going to need a valid house address to have it sent.”
Customer: “I did put the address!”
Me: “That’s an email address, ma’am.”
Customer: “Yes, and it’s valid. I checked!”

Learn a Valuable Lesson.

I was at band this evening, and my friend and I went to the toilets. We were just chatting when a small child walked to the outside of the toilets and looked confused, and lost. Being nice people, we wanted to help the small boy, we thought he'd gotten lost, and was new, or something.
So, my friend asked the boy if he was looking for the boy's toilets. And he replied 'No, I'm a girl. I'm just a tomboy. Easy mistake to make..' And then ran off. We were in such shock, that we ran in the opposite direction. And felt incredibly bad for the rest of the evening.
So, if there is a lesson we should learn from this, it is that if you are talking to a stranger, you should steer clear of the topic of gender. Okay? :)

Co-incidental sell by dates.

When we were having lunch today, I realised my apple juice went off the day before my birthday.

We then proceeded to look at all of the sell by dates on various things we had bought, to see any of the others had coincidental dates. They all had one one, some of them were slightly more vague than others. I think it was a long discussion well spent :)

100th Post!

This is the hundreth post! HOW EXCITING!

:D:D

Cakes.


Because I am always the one making the cakes, in 2008, on my birthday, Katie came round (and found me at the Joly's), with a cake, it was so, so nice.

I cried it was so nice.
Katie's grandma made the cake, and Katie decorated it. I absolutely loved it.
Thankyou.

Summer 2008.


James is still not back, so here is another photie I have found. We were in Wales, or somewhere, I believe, and look at me! I'm playing sport! Cricket, I believe. How surreal, and quite arty!
:)

Birdies.


I nice little photie of birdy friends, taken from outside Ellie's window.
If Ellie and I were birds, these would be us.

I believe that I would be the large grey one, if that is okay? :)

The Youth of Today.


I found this Christmas card just now. It's from this year.
Do people now feel that in order to relate to the Youth of Today, they need to address them as 'Yo'?
If so, Yo.

Disneyland Scrapbook artiness.


And in the same scrapbook, the art skills begun..

The green metallic letter R is my favourite. :)

Disneyland


Cue Maccabees song, that says something about Disneyland. And maybe a Hallelujah.
Anyway. I took this photie of a scrapbook I found that I did when I was 7. Even when I was just a wee nipper, I was a coolster.. Informing everyone of exactly how many horses there are on the carousel, spelling the word carousel wrong, my beautiful handwriting (and the fact that I still have to draw lines to write on..)
But, over everything, I most enjoy '(Emagine that)'. Emagine.

Bahana 2


I think this is a display of dedicated recycling of bananas, using both sides! Motivational motivational.
I was going to also post a picture of a banana. Then I realised the only bananas we have in our house are incredibly brown and speckly, so wouldn't have the same effect.

Sad times.

We can't have everything. :)

Wednesday, 13 January 2010

Banana.

If you bring a banana to school for an exam, you will pass.

A bahana, if you will.

That is all.

Cameras.


This is my fam's camera. I don't know why I find it so damn entertaining when it looks like this.
Although, there is one downside. When you forget about it, and leave it like that, when it retracts magically after a while, you get a large shock. *bsjfdhksh!*

Alex!

Revision!

Pen rage.


I keep meaning to revise, I really do..

But one of the main problems I have is losing my pen.

Writing is pretty hard without a pen, or some sort of writing implement.
This bit of the blog is about Alex.
He stuck a pen to my ceiling a while back, but when I lost my pen and looked at the ceiling for some help, it was always the wrong colour. So now, problem solved! I have a blue pen, a black pen and a pencil, all there. It's great, and incredibly handy. Thankies.

Hot water bottles.


Who'd have thought of such a nifty idea!

They are great.


I literally, never have them. But last night, I made one myself, and put it in a fleece. So, I had a nice fleece wearing companion in bed with me.

Typing in Gloves.


I just went outside to turn the heating on, and I couldn't find any shoes, so I just kept my slippers on and wore my dads.
It's still snowing.
I also took a photie of this beef icicle outside the hall window.
Massive!
Anyway. It's a bit chilly. Do you ever think when you're nice and toasty and warm in your bed, normally just before you have to get up, that you could never imagine being cold again? And then after, you are. Eurgh. That's just how it is.

Life with gloves on is twice as difficult as normal life.
Anyway. About that revision..

Back to Revision.

Anyway, back for a short while to RE/History revision.

I've actually got to go to school tomorrow! (Admittedly, it'll only be a 2 day week..)

Swans.


I am not an animal person, anyway. But I have a particular hatred for swans, and donkeys (that's another story..).

Whilst we were on holiday last Easter (the same Go Ape one), we went boating, on a nice lake.

I am not particularly brilliant at rowing, it involves coordination. So, it was incredibly difficult to not crash into anything, or fall over the weir (a particular hazard.)
So, we were just casually rowing, when a massive swan came up to us, and took a nice interest in our rower.. what's it called.. paddle! Is that it? Anyway. So, it liked that, and kept trying to eat it. And all the while we only had one OAR! It's an oar! Yes? Anyway. Oar. And we were just going in circles, each time getting closer and closer to the side, and a large tree. So, we tried to make it go away, and eventually we succeeded, but then it just came around the other side of our boat, and started eating me.
So, our problems weren't solved, I couldn't paddle because this massive swan was eating my coat, and I was terrified. Because I'm silly.

I think after that, even though we'd paid for about half an hour to an hour, we got out early. We couldn't take anymore excitement.
Anyway. I know they're the Queen's animals, and you can't kill them. I didn't!
I just don't go near swans nomore.

Go Ape.


Okat, I keep just posting photies of old times, but I'm hoping James will be back soon, so these days on the computer with lots of old photies are numbered (hopefully.)


So, this one is from last Easter, every year, we go on holiday with another family, who are all incredibly nice.
Last Easter, we went to Yorkshire, near Whitby. It was amazing.
We also went to Go Ape. We all had a go, even my mum, she was terrified, it was incredibly entertaining.

This is just me flying, on a zip wire. (Yes, I am wearing walking boots.)
Anyway :)

Rain.


I also found this photie.
It teaches you a valuable lesson- if you're ever caught in the rain. (This photie was taken in 2008 in Northern Ireland, it's always raining there..)
I know you're taught whenever you are a wee nipper not to put plastic bags on your head, but they make a good shelter.
That is all.

Bridlington.


I went on school wind band tour somewhere really exotic in 2008- Yorkshire.
Ellie and I are going on holiday with my fam to Yorkshire, near here, in the Summer.
It'll be good.

So here's a nice arty photie taken from the beach of the amusement park, it's just genners nice.
