Hellooooo darlings!
Well, today was the beginnings of a good week if I do say so myself!
I did some Biology revision, and, not having time to finish Geography revision as well, did my Geog in the bandroom whilst the others we having beginner band.
Hannah is continuing to teach two girls who are new to their instruments and the band, but today she found the elder of the two had improved hugely over the holiday because she overheard her friends Mum explaining that,
"If you practice for an hour a day every evening you will become brillient"
So the little keen bean went and did just that! So, the short and the long of it is, that she wanted me to teach the younger girl who (Not surprisingly) was lagging behind a bit.
.....So I did :)
When Mum came out from the Beginners she saw some work, a folder, a workbook, a pen and a packet of crisps on a table and thought "Someone's being resourceful!" she'd forgotten I was doing my work there ;)
Earlier in the day our peaceful working was broken by Jonny who screamed,
"MY WORM COLLECTION!!!"
The whole family (Slightly bemused by the fact that he had a worm collection at all) rushed over to the window shouting,
"What's happened to it?!"
"They're being eaten by a flipping BLACKBIRD!....NO MUM, MUM!! STOP IT TAKING THEM!!!!"
...We had to console him as the keen eyed blackbird filled it's beak with a veritable heap of wriggling worms, that had previously been stashed in a container in a patch of earth, and flitting onto the next door's fence, he took off with a wobbly flight pattern as he was slightly Crainium heavy....
Anyway, to Jonny's credit he didn't cry, he just resented the blackbird stealing worms that Jonny had taken ages to find. Bless :)
I've learnt two new words today! The first was:
Sphygmomanometer - Device that measures the blood pressure in your arm.
And I thought this was hard to say, but no, Hannah had to prove me wrong as she trotted downstairs with:
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia - Fear of long words.... O.O
..Which was written on a peice of paper about 30 miles long. I mean really! It's almost as pityable as the word "Lisp"!!
Nick Mance my 2nd cousin sent me an amazing video today, apart from being really funny, it showed of some amazing beatboxing skills.
Give it a watch :) With any luck it should be enbedded beneath!

Well I'm finding this blog thing very fullfilling even after the first two days. I hope I can keep it up!!
Peace people!

LOL love it! Keep it going, you'll probably find it very cathartic - or something :P will put some more on mine today. That Jonny is a natural errrr, well he's a natural. And Hannah! well long words fail here. Ask her what she thinks of the word dissleksick? Say hi to the first cousin once removed Nick, from his elderly and demented rellie.
