School is a wonderful thing.

Not only does it introduce you to some amazing people, you learn your life skills there. I've never really thought about it before, but I was feeling deep today and had a good think. I would never choose not to go to school, I do enjoy it most of the time, and my friends make it very bearable!

This is Harry, long term friend and fellow - Geographer. Every Monday is Geography day. By the way, this is wearing my glasses, he doesn't usually look so camp! He's one of the people who make my day so much better.

Geography is very tricky, we're coping but it's a awful lot of work. Our teachers have chosen a January exam, so we don't have that much time to prepare, scary. Luckily we have two of the best teachers ever - lets just say that you would understand if you met them...

ANIMALITOS

Annoying Orange Wazzup 3: Bonsai Tree

This is a funny looking owl, I can't exactly remember the name but it involved a toad... Or a frog.

I had my first day back at school today, as a sixth former. It was fine, just had a lot of frees and spending time with the new year sevens. They weren't as bad as I was expecting and I seem to have got some pretty decent children. We'll see how it pans out though, they always get more cocky throughout the year.

I'm going to Swanage Folk Festival next weekend, with my good friend Rosie! She's very folky herself and will show me the ropes, if you see what I mean... We're camping, and I admit. I am not the camping kind. I am a country girl, but that does not mean that I live rough. I am very accustomed to a nice room, warm bed and cosy feet. Camping, is the complete opposite. She's given me a list of things to bring, so I'll try and keep you updated! It should be good fun, though.

I've started watching Mitchell Davis on YouTube. Compared to the usuals that I watch, he's pretty different. I guess he's okay, his roomie Kyle makes me laugh.

I've been away, hence the giant lack of blogging, sorry! I have recently stayed in Oxfordshire with my Godmother and I had an amazing time! This is a picture that I took of Waddesdon Manor, a beautiful National Trust property that we spent a whole day exploring. My Godmother is a volunteer there and so she could tell me all about the behind-the-scenes and all the information rather than those audio sets. It was brilliant.

We also went to Cotswold Wildlife Park, Ashmolean Museum and Cowley. I had a great shopping visit to Bicester Village where I got a whole outfit including a silk scarf from Radley which I am in love with, I'm going to wear it everyday!

I am doing babysitting a few times this week, so blogs may be irregular again because I don't have much free time right now. My family and I went to Cardiff yesterday, and we had a look around the new, huge John Lewis. It's wonderful, I admired the Mulberry bags lustfully. We ate at Jamie Oliver's Italian restaurant and I had the best meal, starter of italian nachos (four-cheese ravioli) and bread selection, main of Pappardelle Meatballs and then topped off with an Amaretto, Raspberry and Chocolate Brownie. I highly recommend it!

Bailey the Dachsund. Floss' brother.

Today I am not feeling too good, so I'm just chilling for the time being, drinking far too many cups of tea. I'm having a nice relaxed time during today because this evening I am going to watch Guys and Dolls with my Auntie Helen and Uncle Kevin. I'm pretty excited because I know a few people who are in it, and it should be a great production!

Also, I need to be all fit and well by Monday, why Monday? You may ask... Well, I am hosting a picnic in my garden with four of my friends, and then they are staying to watch a film or something afterwards. If the weather fails us, then we can always adjourn to the living room or my bedroom, but it's not exactly the same. Met-check says sun, so fingers crossed, please!

Just been meandering the Cath Kidston website looking at the new Autumn range, I have already got a long list of items which I fancy! I'm off to Oxford on Thursday-Tuesday, so maybe a shopping trip is in need! Just need to find some more money, first...

This is Theatre Royal, Bath. My favourite place in the entire world! On February this year, I saw Private Lives with Kim Cattrall and in a few months, I am going to see Blithe Spirit with Alison Steadman. A few of the other plays that I have seen include: Waiting For Godot, Hound of the Baskervilles and Shout. I don't think that I have been disappointed by anything which I have seen but Waiting For Godot went on for an extraordinary length of time!

I am currently reading Blithe Spirit so that when I go and see it, I have an idea of the story line, I don't know if any other people do the same thing but I find that you enjoy it a lot more when you know what is happening! Another reason I am reading it, is for Theatre Studies. I have to perform a monologue and I have chosen the ending monologue of Blithe Spirit, from Charles' point of view. Yes I know, I'm not a man, but it doesn't matter! I also have to write a synopsis and choose my favourite scene. I can't wait for Theatre Studies, I already love it and I haven't even started the proper content yet!

This is my dog, Floss. I love her, not just because of what she loves doing which is getting onto my new bed covers, making a nest and snoring away until bedtime. Which entails more snoring.I love this picture because I caught her in the act and she is doing her darndest to look innocent!

I may start doing my History homework today, because if I get it started then I will finish it in no time, it's just the starting it that is hard...

Looking out my window this morning, I noticed a huge change in the weather and I do not like it. Yesterday, the sky was un-clouded and we had a lovely view of the sun, today however, there are clouds everywhere. Rain, rain go away, come again another day!
