Today is the first day of the London Olympics 2012,




Today is also Gumdrops birthay,

So for her birthday we made homemade, dark chocolate rum and raisin ice-cream.

But it doesn't look like that yet. It looks more like a mousse

But no matter what it looks like it was really hard to make, so we also gave her nougat to eat while we wait.


But I'd just like to say one thing to Gumdrop,

SORRY

I'm really sorry I haven't been on in ages, it's just that I've been really busy with maths.

Recently Charlie has made me read Hardy Boys books, they're great stories and Joe is cool, but the main reason I started reading them is I enjoy Larissa quizzing me on where I am.

Other then that I've been doing a lot.

I got new sneakers on the weekend.

Today I started a new English literature class. It is going quite well at the moment. As the famous Loney Tunes says,

That's all Folks

This is my 130th post.

Today I countinued work on my story. Other then that it was the usual Tuesday.

Today at lunch I had this delicious wrap, I call it the Chilli Cheese wrap.

How to make it: you get a wrap, put it on a plate. Then you cut three slices of cheese and lay them in a line down the middle of the wrap. Next you get out the sweet chilli sauce, now this ultimately is done to taste, but I just do a nice line along the cheese.

Your almost done, now all you need to do is fold the bottom up and the two sides over and eat.

If your not like me and you don't like spicy food then I suggest you go easy on the sweet chilli sauce.

I find it refreshing and deliciously hot. Give it a try and tell me what you think.

WE WON!!!

For all who are interested I would just like to let you know, WE WON STATE OF ORIGIN, we is QLD. But I must say that QLD distributed some very rude behavior by booing when the blue team was mentioned. It was the closest match in years, and the blues played a good game, I see no reason why they should be booing.

SCORE:

Maroon won the first round

Blue won the second

Maroon won the last round, with blue at 20, and maroon at 21

I wrote a story today, here it is,

Down at the dinner table that night there was complete silence from the family as Zoe told her family about Ellie's book. Her parents smiles slowly changed to frowns as she suggested going to Turkey to celebrate Ellie's achievement.

“Zoe, you know we can't afford to go to Turkey.”

“Yeah, I know. But I could try to get enough.”

“Okay Zoe, but only if you get enough. We will not help, and we need to approve all your ideas.”

“It's a deal.”

“Okay, now how long do you have till you have to go?”

“Three weeks,” Zoe said, hoping she could get at least 2474.11 francs ($455) in time.

The next day Zoe had an idea, she decided she would make a lemonade stand, with traditional homemade French lemonade. Each cup would cost 16.31 francs ($3), so she would have to sell 152 cups of lemonade. “I need a lot of help.”

“Zoe! You do know how much effort that will take?” Carla, Zoe's mum said.

With shoulders slumped Zoe answered, “Well, I could get help.”

“Fine, but no bribes!”

“Agh,” Zoe interupted,

“You must continue with your school work as well. Now get going or you'll be late for school.”

As the school bell rang signalling end of school, Zoe ran off the 10k track and onto the grass outside. Searching around desperately for her friends. She turned around and saw Katie walk out of the school building. Panting, she started running towards her friend.

When she finally reached Katie, she just stood there panting. Noticing the confused expression on Katie's face, she started telling Katie about her lemonade stand. “Okay, I'll help you. But you have to buy me a souviner from Turkey.”

“Cool, thanks. So I'll see you tomorrow at 8:30, ready to set up the lemonade stand.”

“See you then,” Katie called as she walked away.
