Bike Show And The Wall of Death! dun dun duuuuuun!

Image
Yesterday, Me, Jess and my Grandad went to the international bike show in Stafford! It was really boring! Except- e-excep-ex-cept....  zZzZzZz -_-    -_o    O_O < I REALLY WASN'T SLEEPING! I PROMISE!!  Except the part where we got to go and see the wall of death, which is basically motorcyclists riding their bike around a wall, performing tricks and being awesome!!! And by the look on some people's faces (including Jessica's) they all looked like they dropped something... in their pants.

Shire Brook Valley

Image
NO bugs were hurt in the making of this blog post!!! Yesterday, me nanny and Jessica went to Shire Brook Valley for a pond dipping session. When we got here we hung around for a bit, waiting, bored.... then we were brought inside and talked about life cycles and what we should find in the ponds. We then just quickly ran over some rules and we had a choice of two ponds, we went to the furthest one, about a minutes walk... so not they far away. Anyways, here are some photos of what we caught! Mayfly Lava. Water Skater. GAAAAAAH!!! WE CAUGHT A JESSICA! PUT IT BACK!!!! We didn't just do pond dipping though, a couple of us (me included) did Clarity Testing, and the water was surprisingly clean, I could see 11 dots out of 12. I didn't know pond water could be that clear! The couple of us doing to Clarity Testing also did a PH Test, I got a 5,5 which means the water is quite acidic! I didn't see anybody else's results though... so I might of had ...

A Ginger-Bread House And A Tiny Egg!... And A Selfie. :3

Image
Yesterday, me, nanny 'n' Jess went down to our main road to go to the library. I brought £5 with me to get some rat food from the hardware shop, then we went into Fultons. There, me and nanny spotted a ginger bread house kit and as it was only £2.49 I decided to get it. Anyway, at the till it went through as £3.99... Nanny corrected them and a member of staff went to have a look, it turns out the wrong label had been put there so we were able to get it £1.50 cheaper.. yay! We don't usually get stuff like this in the middle of April but I had never decorated one before, and the price we thought it was, I couldn't say 'no'! And after that VERY long back story that wasn't needed much at all, me and Jess decorated it (and as it was mine I did most of it, and, erm I dont wanna talk about the parts she did... 0-0 heh) and we started to eat it! THE END..... not much else to be said really. 1. 3. 2. 3. ...

2 In one - Artemis Fowl book 2 & 3

Yesterday I just finished Artemis Fowl book 3 (Artemis Fowl and the eternity code), I haven't done a book review on the 2nd one either (Artemis Fowl and the arctic incident) so I (And by that I mean nanny told me) decided to do 2 in 1 blog post. :/ So here goes! Book 2 was definatley a better book that book even though book one was good, I am not going to spoil it so this is going to be about I like it and not much else...... soooo, um, I like it....... 9.99999999999 (X 20)/10? The reason i dropped the 0.00000000000 (X 20) 1 was cos its a bit 'soft' at places an' I'm not into that. BEE DOOR BEE DOOR BEE DOOR: SPOILERS ALERT!!!!!!! (nyehehe) :3 Book 3, this is my favourite out of the three. ESPECIALLY the close to finish ending! I'm just going to talk mostly about the ending, if you couldn't tell. Firstly, Butler gets shot by this character called 'Arno Blunt' (He just asumed that he's dead, BAAAAD mistake) and is saved by Artemis and Holly ...

Easter!

Image
As you know, Easter's just gone! Yay! And as I've already stated, I am not religious. So Easter, for me, is egg hunting in my back-garden and CHOCOLATE lots and lots of CHOCOLATE (I love chocolate, so Easter's one of my favourite celebration-y things)! This Easter we had 2 Easter egg hunts (well done to nanny for doing these), the 1st was one where we were given a bunch of clues and had to go around collecting eggs. The second was where we were given a starter clue which led to another clue which led to another clue and so on..... and it seemed to go on forever until I eventually found the egg, a minion egg!!! It got hard at some of the clues, especially as nanny and grandad didn't help much! >:( Happy Late EASTER!!!!  

3 Days Of Cooking

Image
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday last week Me and Jess went to the Tesco in Rotherham to learn how to cook! The three days we were there we made 3 items a day, but I'm only going to talk about my favourite :3: Day 1.  Pitta Bread with some sort of really nice tomato topping! This was probably my favourite out all 3, It was surprisingly nice (considering I helped to make it!). And guess what two ingredients we made the pitta bread out of??? I will reveal in the comment section! ;) Day 2.  Chow mien. I learned that this name actually means 'left overs' in Chinese! We also made a bread mixture to bring home, see below. Day 3. A Greek salad!!! I like most Greek food and I love salad! Greek food + salad = YUMMY! :D I probably liked the cheese that was in it most. Bread, not very edible.-_-  And probably the part that I liked best of all 3 cooking lessons was the fact than I took part with chopping, grating, squeezing, squishing, stirring...

The Peanuts Movie

Image
Today, me, Jess and my nanny went to see the peanuts movie in the cinema (a special home ed showing).... I already had low expectations. This was one of worst films I had EVER seen. I don't want to explain what happened cos it's just not worth it, at all. -1/10, that's how badly I hate this film. I don't know what to expect from the Charlie Brown films, though. So if you like them MAYBE you'll find this film a bit better. It's too soppy, too clichéd, too predictable, too BAD! I've watched bad films before, but this one is probably one of the worst. The thing I hate most Is the storyline in general. Sorry for criticizing this film, its more of a honest review really.
