Kaiser Chiefs

After spending an hour at Zaza bazzar, me, my mum, my dad and my sister went to a nearby consert that my mum and dad had secretly booked without telling me.The main reason was to see Kaiser Chiefs band.

It was very loud but eventually I got used to it, (my sister was wearing earmuffs!) ad i started to pretend I was Dominic Darwin. It was quite fun actually until i got a bit bored and started kicking plastic bottles around! I was very thirsty and I managed to persuade my dad into buying me a hot dog.

When we got home it was 10:30 pm so we went straight to bed. I can still remember all those swear words thought!!!

I have already been to a fencing competition this year but did half as well. The other one i lost all my matches apart from one(my last pool match,) and this time did much better.

Match one... and so on:

Op 4-2 me

Op 1-3 me          victory

Nat is from my class at school and  I didn't want to fence him but i did and won 3 to 1.
The first round in the knockout round I was against the person who beat me 4-2.(Op 4-2 me)

Triathalons

20/6/15
Today was when I had my first triathlon. There were tons of people there and I was entered for Tristar 1(8-10.)I was number 235, 199 numbers off my lucky number 36. We had to do three different disciplines.

  • 100m of swimming.  
  • 1.6 km of cycling
  • 0.8 km of running
My finish time was 15.37 minuets.
It was near Thornbury and was held in Tockington Manor School. My mum and my sister also took part in a triathlon my sister took part in the under 8 and my mum in the fun race. We set off at 11 o'clock. My swimming time was 3:05 T1 1:56 Cycle 6:02  T2 0:47 Run 5:45. I think I can improve on my cycling because I took way longer than I thought. I beat my estimated time of time though which  was 21 minutes.
After I played in these orbs. Basically there was a harness in a air filled  cylinder in a massive inflatable ball. You would crawl into the ball and put the harness on and hold some straps and then ram into someone and then fall laughing as you rebound off them tumble back and roll back with not a scratch is sight.   

I really enjoyed it and want to do another one.

Balloons over london

6/6/15
We arrived at home from a party and it was 10 o'clock in the evening. I went to bed straight away so to be ready for the ballooning next day.
 
7/6/15
I woke up and found myself in a land rover. (which was how we got the balloon around,) It was pretty dark but I could make out a launch site and got out to take some photos.


I was asked if I wanted to come flying and I said yes.We saw a lot of buildings and bridges including the Shard, the Gherkin and the tower bridge.We also saw Big Ben and the tower of London.There was also lots of train stations and yards. We even saw some trains in one of the yards. There were  42 balloons and it was all for the lord mayors grand appeal. We landed in a field next to a railway and every now and then a train would come whistling past. The owner ( of the field ) was very kind and gave us toast and tea. In return we gave her a bottle of whisky packed up and left.
