Today William’s friend James came round. We had a delicious jacket potato each for lunch, and before that, William and James went on the computer while Tilly and I got a new history book for Medieval History. It’s green and we’re going to decorate it. We’ve started by writing about The Last Saxon Kings (e.g. King Harold, William the Conquerer, Edward the Confessor, etc.). It’s very fun when you have your own neat little book that you’re never (hopefully) going to get any mistakes in!
After lunch we went ice-skating. We had a free family ticket of five, which was a perfect ticket as Andy didn’t want to go, but James was with us we had five people to go on the rink. At first, as it was in the holidays, the ice had been scraped up into fluffy bits of snow, and it was very hard to skate, but when the machine came on the ice to clear up the snow and make it slippier than it ever has been before, it was so lovely and fun! Tilly and I went whizzing around the rink at about fifteen miles per hour! Since it was the holidays, it was packed with people, and usually it’s empty; but it did have disco lights, which there aren’t, usually. You can see in the pictures the colours the lights made. We went round with Mummy, too, and soon she found out that we were going even faster than her on this slippery ice, and we hadn’t even fallen over once! It was the best ice-skating thing we’ve ever had, to me, even though we’ve been going for the past year!
When we got home, we played some card games, and then James went home, where we then watched ‘The Walk’, which I give 8 out of 10! Recommended! It’s about Phillippe Petit walking a wire between the Twin Towers (actually a real story)!!! Highly recommended, actually! I took one mark off how the real Phillippe did 8 times on the wire, and the actor did about ten, so it was only a little tedious. I took off another because it had some swearing in it. But I would LOVE it if it didn’t have swearing or so many times on the wire.
