Grandparents Rule the World

Happy Grandparents Day!

Yes, that day celebrated in the U.S.A. & Canada has made its way over here, to the U.K.!

I first found out about this on Friday while watching The Paul O'Grady Show, but then I forgot until I turned on the T.V. this morning and it was being talked about on the BBC News Channel.

After lunch I phoned up Mamgu, and we had a nice little chat, and then I phoned up Nana & Grandad, and they weren't feeling too good. And I am not going to discuss that any further so they can have some privacy.

Anyway, that's about it for this post, seeing as it's the weekend and nothing much happens to me then.

Until the next time!

Nothing and Stuff

Nothing much has happened recently. So this post will basically be about minor things that happened to me this week.

In English on Tuesday, miss showed us this thing on the internet. It's a timer that plays soundtracks and counts down how long is left. So on Tuesday she made Liam & I hand out the books (we're currently reading Roll Of Thunder, Hear My Cry) to The A Team. Liam took, like, half a pile, and speedily handed them out while I took the rest and started rushing around with them. Liam started to give them to the same people I had already given them to so I had to collect a couple back up and then they fell everywhere, mainly over Ellie! We finished the task with twenty seconds left on the clock though. No-one could stop laughing at me "with a million books". I love English.

None of the other subjects have been that eventful.

It has stunk outside a lot this week. And it covered the whole suburb I live in. It was horrible :(

It was inset day today, and it has been a fantastic chance to have an extra day of rest, if you take into account the weekend so I can say extra.

We've got the internet on the laptop updated to I.E.7, which I'm used to seeing as that's what we use at school and Claire has it. But Dad hates it so we'll still have I.E.6 on the "main" computer.

Elsewhere, I now officially hate Facebook. I hate the "new" layout anyway, and that in its vulgar self has deterred me from using the site, but what makes the site worse is the fact that it either says, "We are doing maintenance on your account," so I can't log in or I can log in, but the homepage is the only page that I'm allowed to visit. I just use Bebo now, and that I detest, but at least my profile is all on one page.

Seeing as it's now Autumn, Dad is insisting on having the lights on. I hate our lights. They can only produce horrid, unnatural beams. Also, if he wants to save money, he should be doing what I have been doing all my life, don't turn the lights on when you have the T.V. on. The T.V. produces enough light, and sometimes lighting in whatever room you are watching something in can really ruin programmes such as Heroes.

To add to any frustration I may have at this precise moment, I saw my first Christmas advert of the year earlier. It was for Disneyland Paris, which I went to when I was 3, back in 1998. I can't remember much about that holiday, but I can remember that year quite well. Anyway, it's bloody October, not December! Nor is it November, when it seems they'll be celebrating.

So, that might be it, unless I've forgotten something. Which I probably have, but never mind.

Until the next time, damn this keyboard for not working properly!
