Things that have happened.

I haven't blogged for a while but here are some things that have been happening.

1) I finally finished my outdoor mural, so I no longer have to wear 1000 layers of wool all of them covered in paint. whoop!

2)  My old housemate from 4 houses ago came to stay. 4 houses ago was my favorite house followed by 2 houses ago I quite enjoyed that. Although my current housemate is pretty special. My x housemate's name is Josh and instead of arriving at our house by bus or car like a normal person, he turned up while I was shopping in Asda having hitched hiked from kendel. I took him to one of my favorite places 'the crocky trail' which is like a playground where it is socially acceptable for grown ups to go. It turns out we are doing a fairly simular trip in the summer although he will be doing it on no budget e.g he actually eats out of bins and sleeps in doorways sometimes. We're planning to meet up in Istanbul.

3) Check out my new homemade notice board, It's got pockets to put pens in and everything! Two pockets are made from a long denim skirt that I used to wear in sixth form before someone told me I looked like a christian, one pocket is from another pair of jeans with holes in and the other pocket is from the first skirt I ever bought when I was 11.

4) I cycled 29 miles in one go! unless you count when I bought chocolate in a corner shop half way, which I don't count. It took 3 hours. On our summer trip Dan wanted us to be able to cycle 60 miles a day, so this was a bit of training. I have concluded that with a proper long break after 30 miles I could probably do 60 miles but it wouldn't be a very holiday like holiday so we probably won't do 60 miles most days. If you want to follow what is going on with our trip which will begin on 30th July you should go to twitter and find @hananddango2q8. If I was more technical and less lazy I'd put in a proper link.

5) Today I showed some year 5s this poster as I am teaching world war 2 through art.

I asked them why you shouldn't dress extravagantly and one child said "because if you wear fancy bright clothes the germans will see you from the air and bomb you" -That made my day.

6) I recently dreamt that this is what people wear in Turkey. I hope it's not true.

7) I went to a Zumber class! shocking I know. I was the kid who when asked by a P.E teacher the rhetorical question "Would you rather play soft ball or pick litter?" answered "pick litter" But who can resist the charms of Danni Mcguiness, who is a newly qualified Zumber instructor.
