Oh the Irony!!

You know, it is very rare for England to have sunny weather and now that we do, I have a doomy and horrible cold along with the rest of my family. Plus I have lots of tests at the minute which is rubbish. Right. My moaning is over with, sorry about that!

Derek ( an amazingly cute kitten who’s favourite foods consist of parma ham, baked beans, fish and raspberries ) is going mental because she’s not aloud outside at the moment because we have to re-Derek proof it, so she doesn’t escape. She is squeaking at all the birds and persuading them to come closer to the window, but mostly they just ignore her! Also, Derek is chewing the leaves off of my chili plants and then spitting them out all over the floor in protest.

Because of the recent hotness we opened the windows in the house. Derek realized this as she was uprooting one of my chili plants in the bathroom and when she poked her head out the window, she noticed an extremely rotund pigeon and decided she liked it very much ( even though her hunting skills are at the worm licking stage) and she started climbing onto the roof!!! At this point you could just see her back end poking through the foliage and we then had to haul Derek back in before she fell off.

Derek is indeed an amazing puddy cat, in the words of Tweety bird!

The Ideal Homes Exhibition (A world of hot tubs and electric graters)

You may be able to tell what this blog is going to be about from the name of this post.

You guessed it! I went to the ideal homes exhibition in London yesterday and it was really cool. The food section was the best bit because you got to try loads of stuff like curry or toffee peanuts but I did like all the useless gadgets too. I would probably never use any of them but the gadgets were very clever and some were very fab-mazing. There was this electric grater and Oscar loved it and wanted the man selling them to turn all of them on and to grate one of the boiled egg that were in a dish as an example of how miraculous they were. Fortunately Mummy intervened and we let the poor man regain sanity. It is a shame though, I really wanted to see someone grate a boiled egg!

Seeing as it is a show to do with your home they did have some paint stalls which excited me. I know it is a little weird but for some reason I love looking at paint colours and choosing the pretty ones. I found some nice turquoisey paint samples along with a dark maroon colour and a nice light green one called  “Grecian Spa”  which in my opinion is a brilliant name for some paint. Just think, someone gets paid to come up with cool names for some paint…. Wouldn’t that be an excellent job? Getting paid for going ” That pink, we should call it Pussy cat’s nose. That’ll be ten pounds please. Also I think we saw that  women, Susan, off of the Apprentice that had her own cosmetics business.

Happy Mother’s day to my Mummy . I love you tons .

Curious! ….

I have an RE essay about certain dress conducts at the minute and I found some interesting stuff out! Such as, If you are a Buddhist monk, you have to shave your head and wear these special robes. Stereotypically, they are a saffron-y colour but actually the colour of their robes can differ according to where they live. Buddhist nuns have to shave their heads too but they wear white robes.Also, I read that if statues of Buddha have curly hair this represents snails which came and sat on the Buddha’s head to protect him from the sun like slithery sun cream .

This is totally unrelated to the paragraph above this but we have just set up a school radio at lunchtimes and it would be awesome if we had a flashmob. They are really cool but it looks really hard.

Limericks

I like limericks. I used to know a cool one about a crumpet but I can’t remember it any more…… Never mind though! I made my own limerick:

There was a young man named Phillip,

who painted a cow in acrylic.

The cow kicked him hard,

right out of the yard,

and that was the end of young Phillip !!

If you know any cool ( or rubbish ) limericks, please post them on comments.

Professor Layton is melting my brain

Don’t get me wrong, I think the Professor Layton games on the DS are awesome…. But  some of the puzzles melt my brain a bit. For anyone who hasn’t played it, Professor Layton is like Sherlock homes but wears a top hat and solves puzzles!

I was going to do a blog containing a movie I made about a reporter chicken who goes on a stake out and arrests the eeeevvviilll sausage roll terrorizing hawk/crow. However the computer does not like me at the minute and refuses point blank to do anything I ask it!

I am quite excited as we have just started our cooking module at school and this week we are making pies or tartlets with short crust pastry. I especially like cooking as a topic because mostly I end up eating half of my produce and then trying everyone else’s. I really am surprised that I’m not the size of an elephant by now. Come up with a crazy pie idea or a tartlet thought and put them as a comment, I am going to try it now:

A tartlet filled with a mixture of tuna and Heinz baked beans with some streaky bacon as a flake. ( This is in honour of Derek my cat, these are all of her favourite foods apart from ham and raspberries).

We have discovered that those new biscuits called Quirks are really appetizing. They look all boring on the outside but when you bite into them they are filled with gooey chocolate spread, how cool is that?

See you later guys,

When I grow up…….

I have decided that when I grow up I would like to be :

1. An artist
2. A teacher
3. A movie producer
4. A set painter
5. An actress

in my spare time of course. I also have a goal that I am going to try and save the world, and not from evil squirrels whom steal designer scarves either, I want to come up with eco-inventions to save the earth. The word terra means earth in Latin I think and it is a very cool word. I am in the mood for list-making this mood may have been inspired by the brill Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot  . Anyway :

1.  Terra
2. Stellar ( another Latin one I think )
3. Squid ( I like squid )
4. Beam
5. Squiggle
6. Cantankerous
7. Vello ( bicycle in French )
8.  Tangent ( I go off on a tangent quite alot and this word sounds like an orange)

I am also reading The Mediator by Meg Cabot which is about ghosts.

We went to see the work house near Nottingham yesterday, using our new National Trust memberships and it was quite interesting however it didn’t have a tea room.

At the moment I am practicing my movie making by making a three person version of Romeo and Juliet which is proving difficult but fun! It stars Oscar, Tallulah and myself. I am using Imovie to edit my films and it’s really cool as you can add sound effects and transitions as well as voice-overs…  I am doing Romeo and Juliet at school and it is interesting; I really enjoyed Baz Lurman’s version of Romeo and Juliet starring Claire Danes and Leonardo De Caprio !

Derek-dom

Hello,

I am sure you have all already heard of our gorgeous new kitten Derek! She has recently learnt to use the macs whilst we were sleeping and has written this and has asked that it be shown to the world, so I will do as she asks :

Story

of

my

Life

My full title is Queen Derek Ditch of Wheatley

however you may call me Derek.

I am only 12 weeks old, but I have already

learnt so much. My family are very lovely

and a bit on the noisy side but I’m used to

it!

I was found in a very tasteful ditch, the problem

was it was awfully damp, so I set my pussy cat

solicitor on it and I packed my bags ( which is

hard when you have no thumbs ).

I was passed around a lot . At first I was at this nice lady’s house, her name was Andrea and she has lots of tasty cows….. But she also had a small doggy called Pippa who thought I was a rat and tried to eat me.

Then I found the perfect place – there was this real nice family called the

Wheatleys so I settled in with them…..

There is Me, Oscar, Tallulah, Tilly, Mummy (squad leader )

and Daddy who is pack leader of theWheatley clan!

I have had these jabby things recently : they are supposed

to make me better but I hated them and they made me ill!

Useless!

On the bright side, I am now allowed into the garden which

is brilliant, I keep assassinating these green, thin animals on the lawn; they are so stupid they never see it coming…..

They don’t even fight back, they are no match for me, haha!

I am making a list of good places to sleep in this new house of mine and this is what I have come up with so far :

On the kitchen table

Pros: You can see all your enemies as they come round the corner

Cons: It is slightly crumby and sometimes I tread on the occasional bit of jam

Nestling on someone’s lap

Pros: It is very comfortable up there in the clouds

Cons: When they decide to do something, it can be a bit wobbly

The small piece of rug by the Filing Cabinet

Pros: Extraordinary warmth on that little rug due to the under floor heating

Cons: Very noisy when people walk past my little alcove of Derek-dom

 Thank you for reading the story of my life in these funny fonts and tricky words – To the world I am a mere

kitten, but on paper my CV is excellent!

 Yours sincerely

Derek

Well, I don’t think I can top that so I will leave you to gaze at your computer screens in awe.

Love you ,

From Owl xxx ( and Derek )

Birthday Owl

Yesterday it was my birthday and it was super-duper !  I went to a shop called ROODIES ( it is an awesome cake shop in Hinckley ) for my birthday brunch and Mrs Roodie put a real sparkler in my cake !!! amazing…..

Also thank you ever so much for the fabmazing things people sent me and wishes they wished me because they were really lovely. Everything was so nice  (especially the cake !)

My marvelous invention !

I had a best-selling idea that should corner the market ! Scented Moustaches ! 

They are ordinary stick on handle bar moustaches ( the ones with the really curly ends ) that are scented differently for each day of the week…..

Monday :  Lemon and lime scent

Tuesday : Mint scent

Wednesday : Bonfire scent

Thursday : Gerbil scent

Friday : Full english breakfast scent

Saturday : Cut grass scent

I do not have scent for Sunday as a viscous leprechaun called Roger came and ate the bit of paper with the moustache scent on it and now I can’t remember it ( this may have something to do with me being related to a goldfish, but never mind! ) . Can you guys think up an awesome scent that you would like to wake up to on Sunday morning with a moustache stuck to your face. If you can post it on my comment board !  :)

Did you know that two things I have never done are – have a bat lick my finger and see a dove’s ear.

See you soon

Chocolaty Breadsticks and Axolotls Toes

Yesterday we had our big walk and it was great ; we couldn’t of pulled it of without your help ! Altogether we raised around six thousand pounds for charity !!! I helped manage the cake stall, it is always the best job to have ……. I also got my face painted as a tiger and my mum got her face painted as a bee.  Me and my friend had a go at playing poole; the long and short of it was that we were hopeless.

As you can see I have not been eaten by viscous swans therefore I have survived my lovely trip to Stratford. I visited Shakespeare’s birthplace and when we got out of the gift shop they were giving out free Mikado Sticks ( Mikado Sticks are packets of chocolaty  breadstick things) They taste nicer than my explanation sounds!

To be or not to be? That is the question. It’s not really the question, the question is : how many toes does an axolotl have?

This is an axolotl

Bye bye
