Wordfest - Saturday

  Josh waved Mum and Dad off on holiday at 6am. We got the bus to town and went to St John's again for the Horrible Science event where we learned some disgusting facts eg that baby pandas pee standing on their heads! Josh queued up and had his book signed with Nick Arnold who Tasha said was a very nice man.
   We met up with Nessa and went to Byron for lunch. Joe had a coke float and a chicken burger and gave it ten out of ten. Even Tasha had a burger! Ness had courgette fries and macaroni cheese with hers. Josh and me liked all the little plastic cows everywhere.
   Then we had to rush to get back to St John's to see Jeremy Strong. We were at the back of the queue to get in so had to sit at the side bit. When Jeremy said "What do you think I keep in the fridge in my writing shed?" Josh put his hand up and said "Food."
   Tasha took the boys to queue up to get their book signed.

Wordfest - Friday

   Josh and I went to the Roald Dahl storyteller event at the ADC. We both enjoyed it and found it funny. Then we had an appletiser in the bar till it was time for our next event which was How We Make Stuff. We were interested to learn that paper can be made from elephant poo and wombat droppings!
   We went to Tatties to meet up with Joe and Tasha who had been shopping. We had lunch and a quick visit to the toyshop then we went to St John's College for the Wimpy Kid event. A little brown boy who went up on the stage for the quiz had us all in stitches.
   We went to Heffers to buy some books then we got the bus back to Girton for Dominos and sleepover. 

Easter Monday

   Mum and Dad came and picked me up from my second night of independent living. We went to Coton for lunch where there was a very cute mini farm. I stroked a lamb and a baby goat. Dad fell in love with the ducks.

Easter Sunday

    Ness drove me and Chat over to Royston. Tasha wore her bunsie. We did an egg hunt in the garden and Chat found more than the boys did! For lunch Tasha made us a starter of melon with prawns. Josh poured his fizzy water into his scooped-out melon and drank it from that. For main we had roast lamb, roast potatoes wrapped in bacon, and veg. The pudding was an amazing homemade rainbow cake. We played some games and watched Rise of the Guardians. I finally got to have an official introduction to the boys' pet rabbits.

Flatwarming

  We met up with Tasha and the boys at Scotsdales where the boys held some just born chicks. We did a hunt to try and find the bunnies for a competition and we just couldn't find the last one but luckily Ness got on the case for us.
  Then the boys, Tash and I went to the cinema to see The Croods. We got the bus back to my flat where Mum, Dad, Ness and Chat were waiting for us with some nibbles. Josh presented me with a gingerbread house he'd made.

Tylers

We met Tasha, Joe and Josh at Tylers garden centre for lunch. Josh said "This isn't a clemen-tiny, it's a clemen-hugey." He also said when they have banana at school they put it in their mouth with a sip of water and call it banana milkshake!

Sushi school

Me and Ness went to Yo Sushi after work for a lesson in how to make sushi. There were 15 of us and 2 Polish chefs showed us what to do. We all had our own mats and we had to wear plastic gloves. They gave us each a piece of seaweed stuff and we had to squish the special rice out on it and add the fish/vegetables. They taught us how to roll it properly. It was quite tricky and some of mine came out heart shaped rather than round! We made cucumber maki, inari mini iso, california hand roll, california iso, gunkan and a couple of other things. The different fillings we put in were cucumber, avocado, crabsticks, raw salmon, cooked salmon skin, sesame seeds, chilli powder, spring onions, lettuce, mayo, tofu, omelette. We ate some and took the rest home in boxes. It was really fun.
