Kids Activities
With the summer holidays fast approaching I thought I would write about some ideas for the kids to get them activity.. 6 weeks can seem like a long time!
For rainy days creative activities are a good step. Junk modelling is always a good choice and can be fun for all ages of children or even basic painting, drawing and starting a scrapbooking.
What I mean by Junk modeling is getting all those bits and bobs that lay cluttering around the house – cotton bobbins, toilet rolls tin foil and getting tons of PVA glue. I know it’s all sound abit Blue Peter creation but the main thing is to top get the kids involved and letting their imagination go crazy.
Advantage…
I just have to mention Tennis, its that time of the year again, the sun is shining..well most of the time, strawberries are in season and its Wimbledon week.
Tennis did get boring for a while, no British success, Henman predictably always making to the last few rounds before getting knocked out and the same individuals winning.
Well this year has been different thanks to Andy Murray, there is actually a chance that he could go all the way and for the first time in years I have been watching Wimbledon. He is about to play in the semi today, so fingers crossed we may have a English player in the finals for the first time in decades.
Tim Henman..who’s he ?
Uncategorized | Comment (1)I love running
Well since doing the Bupa run last month I never thought that Jogging would be come my latest hobby but I have to say I am now hooked
I don’t know if it’s the weather or the light evenings but I can think if nothing better after a hectic day at work than to run it off in the evening. I can’t believe that I am even writing this and 3 months ago I would have thought you are crazy
But I have to say the challenge of finding more testing routes and taking my pace up a notch every time a go out is really addictive.
Since doing the last race and enjoying it so much a looked around to see what organized runs where in the area over the following months and found another 10k which is now on Sunday
I thought I was getting ahead of myself at the time booking a run nearly straight away however having a target has really given me motivation. So this time around I want to run slightly more that last time and at least get 10 minutes of my next time
Look I’m a million miles away from the London Marathon bet it’s a start
Checkmate
I started playing chess a while back when i was not feeling to well as there is only so much Jeremy Kyle and afternoon TV you can watch!!! The problem I had though was whilst being at home alone I had no-one else to play with and whilst my dog Max is very intelligent, hes not that bright. Fortunately there are a number of free Internet sites out there that enable you to pit your wits against anyone you wish. You can select your skill level, length of game etc.. some games can last a few days if you are playing a turn at a time by post and not live. Microsoft also has chess bundled with windows with which you can play live with other players.
Well I must say I enjoyed the games that I played, i was nt as bad as I thought I was and it was good to re-kindle a hobby I had not undertook since my school days.
Now how do I a challange Kasparov ???
Old Traditional Hoobies | Comment (0)Pooktree !
I have been thinking for different hobbies recently to get you out an about and enjoying all this lovely Weather we have been having.
On my hunt I found some weird and wonderful Hobbies that i found rather interesting the first one being Pooktre tree shaping.
Pooktre tree shaping was developed and perfected by Peter Cook and Becky Northey in South East Queensland, Australia. The idea a love of nature, persistence and understanding trees and how they grow. I imgaine it a little like the persistence of nurture as with growing Bonzi trees.
The art involves encouraging trees to grow into a certain shape and styles
