Easter time!

It's officially the Easter holidays, which means, I'm off for two weeks!!

I spent this morning working at a branch of Ashford library, a particularly rough part of Ashford, but the library is excellent! The only problem is, only a few customers came in all morning, most of them being young children!!

I have quite a lot of work to do over the Easter period, the worst one is social policy!! It is really difficult! I have taken out several books from the library to help me, which isn't too bad, apart from they are all in small print!

The city of London!!



As my birthday treat, my parents, cousin, and I spent the day in London, which was excellent, but extremely exhausting!

We left home at 9.30am, and drove to a town called Orpington, which is situated just outside of London! The train to Charing Cross was packed, and we had to stand the whole journey! Fortunately, it wasn't too far!!

Once we had arrived, we caught the Underground to South Kensington! Next, we walked up to the Natural History Museam, where we spent the majority of the day!!

It was free to enter the museam, but they caught you with the food prices, which were high! It was very interesting looking around the museam, and we even got to experience a real earthquake! It is very interactive there, plenty of things to touch, and press!!

At lunchtime, we ate a cheese and ham baguette, which was soft, and scrummy!

The next stop was Knightsbridge station, where we went to Harrods!! My dad was in a lot of pain, because he had an operation on his knee a few weeks ago, and it was tiring for him walking up all the underground steps!

At Harrods, there were protesters, protesting about fur! They had loud speakers, telling us we shouldn't go into Harrods, as they sell real fur!!

We managed to get lost in Harrods, and ended up looking at the watches and jewleery, worth thousads of pounds! There was a lot of perfumes on show, and I sprayed some on myself!! It wasn;t until afterwards that I realised it was men's cologne! 9they didn't make it clear on the box)!

The top picture is of my cousin Vivienne standing next to a Monkey at the Natural History Museam!

Simply the best!


Yesterday, was such a brilliant day, I think birthdays get better, as you grow older!!

I started off the day by going to college, which wasn't too bad! My teacher gave me a hug, which was strange! I told her that I wasn't a huggy person, but she still gave me one anyway!
Thankfully, no-one had done any party games, which they said they were going to do!!

In the afternoon, my Grandad picked me up from the train station! This was a real treat for me, as normally, I have to catch the bus and train! Once we arrived home, I had some of my birthday presents, because there wasn't time in the morning!! I had some excellent things! I got mainly money for my Canadian trip in the summer! My parents brought me some really nice trainers, and some other things (I won't bore you)!!

Later on, we had pizza hut at home, which as delicous! My brother Matthew and partner Terri came round, and I had their present, which was a lady jewellery stand! It is really pretty!
I had a wonderful day, and thank you Erin, Tim and Eithne for writing on my blog!!
For pudding, we had a profiterole dessert with candles, it was the BEST thing ever!
P.S. Kyran Bracken won Dancong on ice! Horrahhhh!

There has been a lot of birthdays this month, and a lot more to come!! Tuesday, it was my Grandad's birthday, and he was 85 years old, Thursday, it was my other Grandad's birthday, and he was 76 years old! The best birthday though is on Tuesday, mine!!! Horrahhhhh!!!!!

Tonight, it is the dancing on ice GRAND FINAL! I hope Kyran will win, I will let you know if he does! They have got to fly in tonight's programme, which Kyran has been finding difficult, as his posture isn't that great!

Dancing On Ice - 2007

Here it is Auntie Rebecca and Carol Ann!!

Dancing on ice (the semi final)!

Dancing on ice, the semi final was on television yesterday, after worrying that it wouldn't be on, as there has been an investigation into the votes (someone may have fixed them)!!
You'll be pleased to know Carol Ann, that Kyran is in the final, he got 4 6's last night for his dance, which is the highest score!!

This week has been excellent, as I got my first distinction, for effective communication! Wednedsay, I had the day off, but I was incredibly disappointed to find that my Auntie Rebecca and grandad had waited for me at the train station! I look for them every day, and the one day that I am not there, they look for me!! My dad would call it sod's law!

I will be put a video of Kyran on my blog, especially for you Carol Ann!!!

Pink smarties!

Sunday, we went to visit my Auntie Rebecca, because we will not see her for over four weeks now, as she is flying to Canada! Next time she goes though, she will be taking someone with her!!
As soon as we arrived, she sat us down with this delicious pink jello, which was one of the nicest desserts I have ever tasted! She insisted I had seconds, even though I should be careful, secretly I was pleased though!
Later on, she handed me a whole tube of pink smarties, which are scrummy! (I think she is trying to fatten me up)!! I will miss her a lot when she goes to Canada, especially her food!

Today, my dad had an operation on his knee! When we picked him up from the hospital, I played on his crutches, he had been given! He is recovering well though, only his knee looks like a balloon!!

Tiring day!

This is a picture of Kyran Bracken!

Yesterday, was a very emotionally straining day, as I started at my new work placement! I can't really say what went on, but it was horrible! I would definitely not want any of my grand parents to go in there!! Only four more times left though!


Today, it is my favourite television programme, Dancing on ice, I really would like Kyran Bracken to win, who used to be a rugby player! The other night, I dreamt that Auntie Rebecca was going to be married to him!
