So here how it's gonna go.

I'm going to put my trip up in three parts for ease on the eyes and also it's easier to do that way for then you can read one go away and then read the next.. Because i probably wont finish typing them all up this evening. I'll do Paris first then Madrid then finally Barcelona. As that's the order i saw them.

All clear? That's great then, lets get this typing done!

So.. its been

Like what... 3 weeks? Yes believe so.

-clears throat- "hem hem"

So sports week was a wow, there was so much going on and everything went alright, for my class it was a bit hard as the sport games they did were not really at there level. But most of them had fun :)

Last week was alright, pretty much the same as a normal week except i went out on a trip with my class on Thursday to the beach, they all had a great time :):):):)

Friday night was a great night out with the girls, lots of dancing :) then Saturday sleeping and meeting one of the last years gappers Duncan, and then we played some pool at the pub. Sunday slept then a load of us went to Grove on the Green, it was a fun hippy sorta festival :) We then headed to the pub to watch the football (soccer) it was heaps fun :)

So basically, I'm still living, and I'm having a lot of fun :)

OHH and camping was really fun. I can't remember if i talked about that in my last post :P

Beat by the Bush

So i haven't really done a lot since i last bloggededed... however i did go on a 2.5hour walk along the beach, ^^ as you can see above in the new pic, it was lovely, (want more, go look on facebook.. its got its own album for convenience).

I've done some booking for summer, going to Paris, Madrid and Barcelona..Woohooo!

So I've been looking back at my older posts, were are the comments people?

I got attacked by a bush, the pharmacist said by my description of the bush that it was Nettle, he gave me cream, and it's gone down in redness, sting and itchiness now.. but gosh it was ouchy!!! (Pictures on facebook)

Yeah that's about it, more tomorrow night, poker night after England play their final in football (soccer to us Aussies) I also may be camping on Friday night, and then seeing the Bracken's on Saturday sometime. I may not be able to go camping as i may not be able to get back on Saturday. we shall see :)

Oh speaking of language differences in words.. A class is asking for Aussie items, i thinking kindly, said they may borrow my thongs.... the conversation went a tad weird and them boom... we both realised that I'd used the wrong word and that i actually meant footwear. There was a lot of laughter. Yes i was talking with an adult.

Jet Along the Sand

Wow. What an painfully wonderful week. I'm so glad it's over but i wish it was still going. I can't describe how awesome it felt to walk along the beach on the back of a horse and then wait for half the group to go ahead while you walk backwards on your horse unintentionally and then at the slightest wrist movement your off, standing in the saddle unable to be seated with your hands almost at the ears, under you, you can feel the muscles moving at such speed and precision, you feel safe and secure although you have very little supporting you to stay on. You can see the others around you, flying across the sand in a mirror image of yourself but you feel alone you feel like your flying and you can feel your heart pounding against your insides the blood rushing all over your body, giving you the best feeling in the entire world... Id so use that to conjure up my patronus...

My three days of riding were full of fun and all three had a gallop along the beach, the third and final day we even went into the sea! If only a little, but we all got wet from it :P. My first day, i had an assessment ride to basically show what i could do. They were very pleased to see what i could do though :) I felt nice to be back in a saddle and can i add that it was a very comfy one. After my assessment i had my first gallop along the beach, which from my description above I'm sure you'll know was AMAZING. My long ride in the afternoon was canceled due to that which i shall mention later and it was exchanged for a town ride.
On my second day of riding, my true love... lol... My second day consisted of another wonderful beach ride, an hour lesson for which i choose to do jumping in and then another town ride for which i was in the lead. After this ride there was a huge family, possibly I'm hoping it was more than one family, waiting for the next town ride, and when one of them got on, he didn't stop at the saddle, and well, round and over and drop, plop he went haha. It was extremely funny!
My third day i was very sore... however i got on the horse and we went up over the mountain and down again, which took us from 10 till 4.30pm. It was amazing, how far you could see was breathtaking and i have to admit, on the way down there were points at which i forgot to breath...

Now...even if a gallop on the beach is totally cliche these days, I'd still like a knight in shining armour to come and take me away, galloping along the beach into the sunset, to live happily ever after.

Unfortunately, this will never happen because life just isn't like that unless your really lucky. But hey, i haven't found any four leaf clovers in the almost 19years of my life so i feel sure that this cliche wont happen... and anyhow, I'd kick him off the horse before setting off.. it'd be mightily uncomfortable to have someone else with you galloping along the sandy beach.

Well.. if you haven't noticed i had a FANTASTIC time up north on my little adventure to a small town with not even a shop, or petrol station.. but don't worry.. it had a pub. And a nice house for sale....
But anyways.. Going off the wonderfulness of it, I;d like you all to know that the nutter running around shooting randoms at his own ill didn't get me. If you don't believe me, go watch the news about Cumbria.. My knack for being in/ near the action hasn't faltered.

RIP all those who died at his hands.

I feel that i shall leave this blog here on the sad note to go and rest my muscles, as they are still sore.. 3 days of horse riding after almost a year of not riding really gets to your muscles...

Week Off

So i almost died when my tickets had not yet come by yesterday because it was over 7 working days after i'd ordered them, so i rang the people.. twice in the morning to see what could be done, both i couldnt understand and both where mean and couldnt do this or that.. then i talked to Sue and she said go see what the train station people say and so off i went and the nice man talked to me about what i could do and what to say to the people on the phone, because they are truly hopeless. So i rang, asking for the manager, but the man i got was nice and told me to ring the day before my train and get my reference number so i can get my tickets from a self serve machine :) great isnt all that trouble and stress i went through.

Anyways. Im really excited, tonight i get to see Stew and Annette and Jack and then tomorrow they go off adventuring and i get to house sit. Im thinking of going back to the Palace to get a proper look without all of London there as well. Maybe i'll look see if there is a changing of the guards before i go :P

Next week im going horse riding for 3 days up in the Lake District, how exciting, i can't wait! I'll take piccies and have a lot of fun, and come back very sore from riding because lets face it.. it's been a while!

So i woke up at 6am this morning, how annoying. But i got a few things done, so it's alright. I woke from the sun, it seems to get up at 4am here, but lucky i wasn't awakened at that time :)

I must be off readers, as i am to get ready for work and complete my packing :)
Have a good night/ day
