My Summer Holidays Continue

Welcome back to my blog.
On Tuesday I met up with one of my primary school friends and we went into West Bromwich - New Square to do a bit of shopping and have something to eat. We started off at Kaspers the new dessert shop in West Bromwich. I had a chocolate chip cookie dough dessert, it was delicious. Then it was time to hit the shops. We ended up in Primark, where I bought a really cool jumper.

On Wednesday my mother and I ended up back in New Square in West Bromwich to have something to eat, we decided to go to Nando's. It was the first time my mum realised I was too old for the kids' menu, YESSSS!!!!. So I ended up having chicken wings and fries,

Nando's always gets it right!

Thursday was "hair wash day" not my favourite thing to do but it has to be done. Actually, it's my mum who washes my hair, whilst I just moan - sorry mum. My mum used Bentonite clay to cleanse and treat my hair, She mixes it up herself using Bentonite clay powder, water, apple cider vinegar and extra virgin olive oil, sounds good enough to eat 😉.https://www.akomaskincare.co.uk/bentonite-clay-face-powder.html

Dirty hair ready to be washed.

All clean, moisturised and braided.

Thursday also saw the return of my guitar lessons with Raj. Unfortunately, I haven't been practising as much as I should have been. During the session, we practised different songs and chords then we did a chord test I scored 4/6 (not that bad.).

Also what has happened to the sunshine, it looks like our glorious summer is well and truly over (my mum put the heating on today because we were cold 😐).

Speak soon.

Dubai!!

Wow, what a week I’ve had. On Sunday the 28th of October, I left England for a holiday to Dubai. My mother, God Mother, God sister – Maya and my aunty, all met at Heathrow Airport, we were due to fly from Heathrow with Emirates airline all the way to Dubai! It was a seven-hour flight and Emirates are a fabulous airline. https://www.emirates.com The food was great, the movies were great, the staff were very friendly and the female flight attendants wore a very interesting looking hat. My mom said it was one of the best flights she’s ever been on. We finally landed in Dubai, once we cleared customers and collected our luggage we made our way outside and boy was it hot, yay! We got a taxi to our hotel, we were staying in the Rove Hotel Downtown. https://www.rovehotels.com/hotel/rove-downtown/ The hotel was really nice and modern. We settled in our rooms, unpacked some of our things and went across the road to explore the Dubai Mall. The mall was huge, we had a quick l

Happy Christmas!

At last the Christmas holidays are finally here. My school broke up a week before most schools so I got 3 weeks off. YIPEE!!! I have now completed all my Christmas shopping. My Aunty Kizzy came from London to spend the Christmas holiday with us. On Christmas Eve we made a gingerbread house that she had brought. For my Christmas dinner, I had turkey, beef, mash potatoes and purple cabbage. It was delicious and as for the drinks they were refreshing. For dessert, I had some of the gingerbread house that my aunt and I had made (or at least decorated). It tasted almost as good as it looked! My uncle and cousins came round to see us in the evening; this was great because I don’t get to see them that often. We tried playing a game of hide and seek upstairs – not the best idea! After a great Christmas day and evening, I ended up going to bed really late. As for presents, my mom got me some clothes and folders to help me or

Competition time!

On Sunday 26 of August, I went to the Dell stadium to compete in an athletic competition. My events were high jump and the 100m sprint. This was the first time I had done high jump in a competition, ever! I managed to jump 1metre 20, not bad for a first attempt. Moving on to the 100 m sprint, I have competed in many sprints, so I was looking forward to this event. I got off to a good start but for some annoying reason I slowed down, so this wasn't my best race. My personal best in the 100 metres so far is 15.56 seconds, which I ran at Tipton on August 17th 2018. With determination and practice, I'm hoping to run 100 metres in 15 seconds within the next few months. Speak soon TJC
