Wow, I have been so busy, here there and everywhere. I was supposed to go to Liverpool today but everything was changed and I am going tomorrow instead. I also got a job which is a short cameo and I have to fall in a lake so we went swimming today to practise going under the water and floating on the surface. I don’t know what they want me to do yet but it was good fun practising. Mum said not to do it too good otherwise the lifeguards would be jumping in. I had some basic scuba diving instruction last year but...

It was part of the stories about The Titanic and in the three-day event, the 50ft diver wanders the city searching for his “little girl” niece, to give her a letter he discovered in the wreck written to her by her dead father .

I found the balancing obstacles o.k. and they were not too scary but some of the heights down the zip wires were really scary and sometimes you had to swing like Tarzan into a net. It was really...
Today we were watching The Wright Stuff and they were talking about the word BLACK being changed in the nursery rhyme BAA BAA BLACK SHEEP.
