i am sparticus: 40 days and 40 fights

40 days and 40 fights

That's how long it feels like since I last wrote… but I won't go on about that again.
My week has been pretty un-eventful, hence the shortage of blogs on my part. On Thursday evening I developed a horrible cold, which knocked me out for most of the weekend - grr, most inconvenient really! Despite the headaches and sniffles, I went to see Edinburgh's Revelation Rock-Gospel Choir on Friday. They were pretty good, but in all honesty I think previous years have been better! (Rachel - you must go back!!) Then Saturday was spent in bed… mmmm, comfy warm bed with fluffy cute kitty! I was loving it! It paid off too, coz by Sunday morning the cold was all gone, just in time to get up bright and early to teach 5 truly angelic 5-7yr olds! What joy! That afternoon though, I met up with Kat and went to see 'Maid In Manhattan' hmmm… not really the kind of movie I would usually go see, but I didn't fall asleep so it can't have been all that bad! Others may disagree with me though! Ha ha.
Monday was a great day though, learning Flash at college and animating this most hilarious haiku which goes:
A happy poodle,
The kite also wags its tail,
At the sunny beach.
Poodles make me laugh so much… tee hee! :D
So then in the afternoon I went swimming with Lois (we did a whopping 20 laps=500m). These swimming sessions are becoming a habit… a good one I must add! But the only reason we go swimming, and the only thing that motivates us to swim for a whole hour is our reward of a lollypop at the end! This week I've had all raspberry ones, but tomorrow I hope to get a yummy cherry one! Oohhh, the thought alone makes me so excited!
Anyway, then it was Navs, in which I won a beautiful tea-light-holder-third-prize for learning my memory verses! Wehey!
So then on Tuesday I developed a sty on my bottom eye-lid. Most beautifying! Which has gradually got bigger, but on the inside, not the outside so it doesn't actually look THAT bad, thank goodness!
Wednesday Lois and I went swimming and swam a record 40 laps this time… that’s a whole kilometer! yay! Well impressed - except I still got a raspberry lollypop and she got a cherry one… its not fare mummy!
And that brings us to today, and me sitting all lonely at the computer with my only friend Mr Badly Drawn Boy, (oh, and the cat) took keep me company. While Sparky goes gallivanting along to that Turin Brakes gig where he's right at the front again, blocking the view for poor 6ft and under people!
HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!
