So some stuff has been going on in London for a week now...you might have heard a little about it, because it's only small...
IT'S THE OLYMPICS!!!
Woo!
Now, I am not a very sporty person myself, but I have been getting into the Olympics much more than I actually thought I would!! Especially the Equestrian and the Gymnastics....the Equestrian is obviously because I love horses, and it is amazing to watch it all done professionally.. but I am not entirely sure why I find the Gymnastics so great to watch...it might be through pure jealousy with how bendy and talented they all are, or it might just be that I generally enjoy watching that sport!!
I know that we are never going to win the whole thing overall, because that is all in the hands of China and the USA at the moment, but it is still enjoyable to root for your own country, and to watch them achieve their dreams on home turf :)
The fact that the Olympics are held in Great Britain this year, means that countries like America and Australia don't find out results until the day after they have happened because of the time differences. In a way, I find it quite satisfying as I often find that many TV programs and films that I want to see come out in America first, so they are already talking about it before it has even been released. Therefore, it is nice to know that we (the British) are the first to know about everything to do with the Olympics. I also find it entertaining to see people in America tweeting what they think is going to happen in the "upcoming event" when it has already happened.....it is almost like being able to see into the future!! :D
As well as the Olympics, there are a few other things that I want to mention in today's blog....
When I last talked about the costume that I am going to wear for my own party, I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do, or who I was going to go as...well I have made a decision....
I, Emily Forbes, am going as.....
THE GOLDEN SNITCH
So to make this costume, I bought some bright yellow trousers off the Internet, and I already own a bright yellow top...I will then put on some fairy wings and BOOM! I will have myself a Golden Snitch costume which will be quite easy to change out of if I get uncomfortable :)
And finally...
I posted a while back, talking about plans to re-decorate my bedroom....well yesterday I finished!!
....clearing out.....
So there is a lot more rubbish in there than I thought there would be, but I have managed to fit the entire contents of my room that I want to keep, into 4 medium sized crates, which can be easily moved around and unpacked...
So I believe that painting is going to be started tonight, or tomorrow (it's my dad doing it) and then I am going to get a new bed, then move back in, so that should all take a week maximum. I am having entirely new furniture and stuff as well, but as we are quite pushed for time, with guests coming, and the Olympics to see, it is probably going to be another few weeks until I get all of the new stuff, but that is fine.
Now, just so you are aware, I am not getting new furniture that is replacing other new furniture...the furniture in my room has been in my room for about 10 years, and previous to that has been in other rooms for another 10 years, so it is not like I am just getting a constant flow of new things :P
So I am currently living in our family guest room, which is much bigger than my room...it also has an en suite bathroom with it, so I am not pushed to leave at any time :) in fact, it is 11.20 now, and I haven't even left my bed yet :D
So that is it for now, sorry for such a long blog, but I hope it makes up for another long gap that I left :D
Hugs and fishes,
