Easter Holiday Part 3: San Francisco

Kat — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 14:43:48 +0000

Wednesday in San Francisco… We met up with the Petty’s in the hotel lobby and wandered off for breakfast somewhere. We found a nice place called Pat’s cafe, and I had blueberry pancakes with a huge mug of tea. It was a good breakfast! We then went off to find Westfield’s and Macy’s. Westfield’s was quite awesome. We spent ages looking for a birthday present for Toby that wasn’t $80 upwards, and eventually found the Hollister shop. I got a pair of shorts, a tee and a nice checked shirt, mum got a shirt, Chris got lots of tees and dad got a shirt. And I got a shirt for Toby. And dad paid for it all, although his card had actually been frozen due to transactions in America, so mum paid. Read More...

Easter Holiday- Part 2: Las Vegas

Kat — Tue, 10 May 2011 15:22:23 +0000

Where to begin, I guess, on boarding the 777 at Heathrow. Well, we didn’t take off until an hour after we should have done, for a start. Some silly Americans wanted to do a random security check on one guy once we’d already boarded. So that was extra boredom that I didn’t need. Secondly, my view was the wing. And pretty much only the wing. Fantastic! Read More...

We’re All Goin’ on an Easter Holiday!!

Kat — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 09:32:24 +0000

At 1:30pm I’ll be picked up by a taxi and taken all the way to the terminal at Heathrow. We’re off to Las Vegas for my uncle’s wedding- finally! It seems like this has been some distant future event for so long. Read More...

Sigh of Relief.. Sort of!

Kat — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 17:53:31 +0000

I phoned up Southampton University on Thursday after talking to Mum about what I was thinking, and the guy at Ocean Sciences was really helpful. He said he’d send my application over to Biological Sciences for Zoology, and I rang up today and they’ve received it, so now I’m just playing the waiting game again. Read More...

Summer?

Kat — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 18:37:56 +0000

I think it’s been summer. Not quite sure, judging by the weather. Maybe we had all the summer we were allowed to have in April. I had quite a good time off though.. Read More...

Elveden Forest Center Parcs

Kat — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 14:02:02 +0000

Toby and his family picked me up from school and we drove off, straight up the M25 to Elveden Forest. We went for the weekend to Center Parcs as a nice break after mine and Sarah’s exams. Read More...

This Takes me Back.

Kat — Sat, 08 May 2010 12:27:44 +0000

Wow, what a long time it’s been since I’ve been here… Well, what can I say really? I mean, as a blogger I’ve let down my readers, and I do apologise for how boring I’ve been, like I always do, but I don’t apologise for what I’ve been up to. I’ve had such a good time lately, and that is the truth. Read More...

December 09

Kat — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 20:02:29 +0000

Well, it’s the end of the decade. I don’t know what I have to say really apart from the fact that this decade has been.. Erm.. interesting. The new millennium.. I was too young to really be interested in, but it’s cool to say I’ve lived in two millennia! Then there was the start of secondary school, which was shit. Most of the time it’s been full of fights between friends.. Most of them involving one person, and another that goes with the first. We got over that though.. At the end of year 11! The decade also showed me the death of my Grandad back in 2005, who I miss so much, the same as I miss my Nanna. Both my Mum’s parents, both Cancer. It really is a horrible thing. Read More...

Time!

Kat — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 10:35:54 +0000

At last I have a spare hour or so to go over the past couple of weeks. Granted, I won’t put as much detail in as I would if this was done the day after, but I’m gonna do my best… Read More...

Stoney Cove: Day 2

Sorry about the lack of finishing the other post until today. I’ve been rather busy. Anyway, here’s day 2… Read More...

Stoney Cove: Day 1 (Plus some of the night before) NOW FINISHED

Kat — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 18:25:56 +0000

We spent Friday night in the bar once Dave and Martin (two of the diving instructors) had arrived. We had a nice meal, I had fajitas and chocolate waffles, and then Emily and I went up to the room. She wanted a shower and I wanted to phone Toby. He was playing Call of Duty with his mate Phil, who we play Rock Band with normally on Friday nights. Eventually, Mum came up from the bar, complaining about having had too many coffees because Dave wanted whiskey. We went to bed, Emily and I in the double bed and Mum over in the single in the corner… Read More...

The Arrival

I am writing this on my phone, lying on a rather comfy double bed in a small Premier Inn room in Leicester. Read More...

On the Road

Kat — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 15:18:49 +0000

I’m on the road. Well, right now I’m not. I’m in a little chef, half an hour from Bedford, where my cousins live. The car has just decided it wants to overheat, so we’ve stopped for a cuppa. Read More...

Holidayyyyys

Kat — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 12:53:24 +0000

It’s the start of the school holidays. Not that it makes any difference to my recent lifestyle as I’ve been off since 10th June, my last exam. Now though, there is talk of holidays. Read More...

Yay!

Kat — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 10:40:54 +0000

I am happy again. Toby is hoooomee! He gave up with the miserable surroundings of Cumbria.

Bored

Kat — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 17:49:03 +0000

I am rather bored this evening. And have been for most of the day.

Everything’s Going

Kat — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 18:11:22 +0000

It's wierd. Before Toby went away, I was getting on with so much; hoovering, washing and tidying my room so it's ready for decorating. Now he's gone, I can't get in the right frame of mind to do things that I can't do with him.

He’s gooone..

Kat — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 12:41:31 +0000

Toby has gone.
