I started my new job at The Learning Pool today. They had sent me a new M5 MacBook Pro which I got up and running with my setup after the upgrade. I had a day of meetings and forms to fill out. I am looking forward to new challenges.

Dad came over today to help on the garden. We started off by laying all of the new boarder blocks and then haunching all of the blocks that we had laid before to stop them from moving. Dad then relayed the slabs while I cut out all of the dead grass and replaced it with new turf. We also lowered the manhole that was sticking up in the garden so we don't trip over it.

Ethan and I went to March House farm today to go on their 165m slip & slide. We had a fantastic hour going down the slip and slide on 1 person rings, 2 person rings and bodyboards. The sun was out so we didn't get too cold either, we would definitely go again.

Today we went to the Cosmic Golf Experience at Leicester Golf Centre. The course was quite new and had a dyed river running through it. Once of the holes was really cool as you got to hit the ball into the stream and then it would be filtered out near the hole.

When building the pergola I had ran some 4 core armoured cable, so today I mounted 2 5.25inch Herdio outdoor speakers and ran the cable to them, I then got that cable into the garage and wired it up to a 300 watt rack mounted amplifier. I tested it out and the speakers sound great.

I ran an armoured power cable to the pergola and mounted a waterproof double socket to it so that we can have lights there. I also wired up some lights in the soon to be seats. Once I had connected the cable up to the existing outdoor armoured cable I gave them a test and they all worked.

For my new role I will be using a Mac, so I needed to update the cables in my office to support mostly USB-C. I ran 3 new USB-C cables to the monitors and then a 4 port hub for the microphone, webcam, external graphics card and the 2.5gb network dongle. Getting all the cables in the wall was difficult but with the help of my cable rods, I got them all ran. I also got myself a new black Apple Magic Mouse and an Apple Magic Keyboard with TouchID.

Dad asked if Ethan and I wanted to go with him and Thomas to Click City Action Park in Nottingham to go on all of the slides. We had a 1.5 hour session and we got to try every slide once and then choose our favourite ones to go on again. You get a mat which you take with you onto every slide and there are some which you take off a ramp at the end which are really fun.

As it was our last day we were up early to pack our suit cases and after dropping them off at reception we walked into EPCOT. We first went on Journey Into Imagination With Figment as we hadn't been on it yet this trip and then had lunch in Starbucks. Our final ride of the trip was Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros as the queue was small and we enjoy it. We walked back to the hotel, got ready and then got a taxi which had a TV in the back so we could watch a film while heading to the airport. I had a burger from Shake Shack before getting on the plane and flying home.

It was our last day in Magic Kingdom and we hadn't been on its a small world, so we did that first. We then went on Pirates of the Caribbean, had some lunch before going to Mickey Mouse at Town Square Theater for a photo. We then headed back to the hotel to enjoy the pool for a few hours. In the evening we were back to Magic Kingdom to the The Crystal Palace restaurant. We then went on Buzz Lightyears Space Ranger Spin, where I got nearly 1.8 million and got a Galactic Hero badge. We then had a night time photo. Ethan and I stayed in the park, went on Haunted Mansion, had a Rapunzel Lantern photo, then a photo with the castle before going to the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor show.
