Ethan and I went with Scott and his wife to the Leicester Brick Festival today. We were expecting to see a lot of models that people had made, but it was 90% people selling Lego. It was good to have a look at some of the older sets, but that ended quite quickly. We spent less than an hour there which was disappointing.

Ethan and I tried a new Clip N Climb today in Northampton. When we arrived we were a bit surprised as it was in a shopping centre. There was quite a few new walls that we hadn't been on before and the session was really quiet so we got to go on everything more than once. We had a great time and would go back again.

We wanted to get the shed water tight, so Dad built a door and then I worked on finishing off all the cladding including the door. Dad worked on tiling the roof and then adding the dry ridge. At the end of the day we managed to get one length of guttering on.

Grandma Hayman was 80 today, so we went to the Golf Club to celebrate. We had a nice meal and spent some time with Grandma, ending the night with some cake which was nice.

Today we started by building the front wall and then Dad moved onto the roof rafters while I put the cladding on the outside. We then put 18mm sheets on the roof and covered it in Tyvek. We made some great progress and its all starting to come together now.

It was Ethans first day in year 5 today.

Dad and I started the day by taking down the old shed, making sure we kept the roof tiles to use on the new shed. We then dug holes for the blocks to be concreted in place. We then had a few family members come over to help move the shed from its old location to its new location and then got that all levelled up. We then got the 3 walls we had built up.

We decided to move the shed to the other side of the garden, this meant that we needed to clear out the seats, firepit, bushes, etc so we spent a few days clearing all of the area. We also emptied all of he shed contents into the garage. Over a few days we moved an Acer tree which would have been in the way but we didn't want to cut it down.

Our old shed is sinking and it is full, so we decided to build a new shed. This time we are going to mount it on metal posts so they cant go rotten like the old wood ones did. We had a long hard day digging out and concreating in pads for the new base to sit on and then building the new base and we managed to get 1 wall built.

Tonight Grandma and I went to see Grease at Kilworth House theatre. We got there early so we could have a picnic on the grounds. Granma had made egg cobs for us and some scones, I bought the drinks and tea. The show was amazing, great singing and dancing, we both had such a great time.

We had 2 new starters today at work, so I organised a night out for the Lovelace squad. We went to Golf Fang in Sheffield. The place was great, the themed rooms for each hole were great, the holes were not too difficult but were great fun. I came first out of our team which I was pleased about. We then decided to stay for food and I had a great fried chicken burger.

Ethan and I went to Cliff Lakes this afternoon as it was so warm to go on their inflatables. We got 80 mins on the lake and we had such a great time going over all the obstacles and sliding into the lake. We were quite worn out after 80 mins though.
