HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM

I am doing all the jobs today.  I made breakfast and I am going to make some lunch for my mum.  My mum was born on Friday the 13th so she says it is lucky for her and she is going to buy some lottery tickets.

GO APE

Yesterday I went to the new Go Ape at Trent Park with my mum and my brother and his wife.  I felt really scared at first and when I did my first climb to the top of the tree to walk across some planks and slide down a zip wire, my heart was nearly jumping out of my chest and my legs were like jelly.  I found the balancing obstacles o.k. and they were not too scary but some of the heights down the zip wires were really scary and sometimes you had to swing like Tarzan into a net.  It was really...

Easter Time

How does the guy on the HTC1 skydiving advert work the screen with gloves on? Great advert though.      

Tuesday

I went to my brother’s for Mother’s Day and we all went out to a restaurant and I had crab cakes which were delicious followed by Carbonnara and proffiter roles.  I was stuffed and fell asleep on the way home.  Still it was a special occasion.  I am glad the weather is nice and warm and this morning when I woke up I looked out of my window and I saw something moving.  It was wierd because I have never seen a green woodpecker before and there it was right under my window.   I managed to get a quick photo...

I’M BACK

I have had a busy week with quite a few auditions and lots of lines to learn.  I also have my speech exams next week so I have been concentrating on learning everything.  This week went by really quickly and soon it will be the school holidays.  Yay.    So it is St Patrick’s day today.  I was reading how it used to be a religious festival and it became a social one due to the fact that the Irish who emigrated to America were the first ones to start the St Patrick’s day parade because they wanted to celebrate their Irish...

Fun Saturday

Today my best friend came over to my house and we went into the woods near my house and we built six dens and climbed trees.  There are some big trees that have blown down and we climbed up them.  One of them had fallen across to an island in the big pond and we were able to climb across and stand on the island.   We saw a little deer and it we got quite close to it before it ran away.   Had a great day.

THE SKY TONIGHT

Mark Thompson @PeoplesAstro tweeted to say that if you looked to the left of the moon now you will see Mars.  I ran and got my telescope and run outside and yes, I saw Mars.   I couldn’t make out Jupiter and Venus which were supposed to be behind me because there were too many stars in that direction.  I came in and shouted to my mum I had seen Mars and my tooth fell out!!  Is this a sign!!!  This is not a picture taken by me.

NEWS

I have been very busy learning stuff and haven’t written anything for a while, so this is what I have been doing. I have had to learn two audition scripts, one for America and one for Australia.  I can do an American accent but I have had to be tutored for the Australian accent but it has all come together now.  I also have a speech exam near the end of the month and have two long monologues to perform for the exam.  They have to be exactly right so I have been practising hard.  I also have to learn...

POPPY

This is Poppy.  She is a Haflinger pony. She is exactly the same as my horse on SKYRIM and I took to her straight away.  The Haflinger, also known as the Avelignese, is a breed of horse developed in Austria and northern Italy during the late 19th century. Haflinger horses are relatively small, light in color, have distinctive gaits described as energetic but smooth, and are well-muscled yet elegant. The breed traces its ancestry to the Middle Ages.  I am borrowing her and my mum has started giving me riding lessons again.  I haven’t ridden much since we moved.  She is very nice and friendly.

BE IN A MUSIC VIDEO

Do you want to be in a music video?  There is no pay involved but you could be involved with a band called HELEN AND THE SIRENS and they are doing a new video where they want people to send in clips of themselves and then they will pick the best ones to be in their video.  I have done one and sent it in.     You don’t have to learn all of it, just a chorus or a verse, you choose and then you have to mime it into your computer or iphone and send it in.  Details below:- 2012...
