It’s 23:00 at the moment, so I have an hour to write the blog entry. lets see how quickly I can get this done.
So, today was the birthday party of Ellie and Daisy - happy barbeque! Well, that’s one minute gone… anyway. So yeah, everyone was going to meet at tesco at 1.30. I had to go and drop something off for someone on the way, and I mis-judged what time I should have left and ended up getting there at 1.00. Fortunately, some of the girls arrived at that time, so I wasn’t sitting around on my own for half an hour. So then they went in to get food. I don’t think I can remember what they good… some burgers, some pringles, baps, coke, loooads of sparkling water. Sparkling water I think was 12p per bottle, whilst normal water was 13p. Doesn’t really make sense. I think they bought like, 6 bottles of the stuff, with the idea of having a water fight. As it happens, those 12 litres of sparkling wtare lasted about 5 minutes. They also got a load of bin liners, some washing up liquid, matches, general rubish. Once everyone arrived it was off to hartham. Well, it was actually the meads, which is right next to Hartham. OH SHIT 5 MINUTES GONE.
Now, let me try and remember what happened. Oh yeah, we’d also bought 2 disposable barbeques, obviously, for the barbeque. We lit them and put the burgers on, whilst listing to the lonely islad, as always. The girls went to re-fill the waterbottles and fill up a load of wtare balloons they’d also bought, and after quite a while they got back, and all that stuff lasted about another 5 minutes. They’d also brought twister, which they deicded they’d cover in washing up liquid to make it slippy. Of course, the washing liquid took some of the paint off of the board. Only the girls played, so I was stood there listening to the guys make dirty jokes about what they were witnessing. Umm… Will and Ben jumped in the river… I think Joe and most of the girls went in aswell. The girls bitched about getting wet and stuff before hand because of the ater fight and I think a couple of them were talking about how their tops would go see through and stuff, which prompted some conversations amongst the guys about boobs. We’d planned to throw Liam in the river when he arrived later, but we never got round to doing it. Umm… I don’t know why I remeber so little… I suppose I was out of the house about 8 hours. OH YEAH. Sean made me some clothes with bin liners. I’ll try and get you a picture sometime. Oh, and Ellie tried to make a slide out of bin liners soaked with more washing liquid, but it didn’t really work. Some guys came by to watch us try and go on it, but left shortly after, rather dissapointed.
OH LOOK, 23:20. I’m sort of watching TV at the same time as blogging… watching a repeat of Alan Carr’s chat show. I’ve already seen it but there’s nothing else on. So yeah, then Me, Jack, Sean, Ardy and Cowler went into town to get a football.instead of going to the sports shop where footballs were £8-60, we went so Slades and I bought one for £4.00. THAT’S CHEAPER. We also got 20 ice lollies for £2.00, and some more coke, but this time we got tesco value coke, which I think was 17p per 2 litre bottle, AND NOW JACK’S STUCK WITH IT, MUAHAHAHAH. We got back and Liam had arrived and Will had dissapeared. OH YEAH. Will had walked across one of the barbeques on purpose. I don’t know why. I’ll get you the video some time. So yeah, apparently he went home because his foot hurt, Iunno. he came back later though. We played some football, then played catch and stuff with some tennis balls.
THEN THE RAIN FINALLY CAME…. and boy did it come… it came all over my face, all over my chest and down my throat. We’d been waiting ages. We’d had thunder and lightning, but no rain, but it poured it down. Most people grabbed the rest of the bin liners to shield them from the rain. OH SHIT, 23:34, had to edit a post I did slightly wrong yesterday - posted one of the three videos twice instead of posting one of the others. ANYWAY. Where was I… So yeah. Lizzy kinda wrapped herself in one, even though she was wearing my jumper already, which got wet in the rain and now smells of wet dog. We also tried making a human pyramid. After a couple of failed attempts, we finally got it right, and I think someone managed to get a picture, too. Umm, we also pushed Will over like, 3 times. You know, that thing where someone kneels down behind someone, and someone else pushes that person so they trip over them. I think the third time, it all being a bit predictable now, Sean ended up going over aswell after Joe pushed him. Just briefly, you seen the new moneysupermarket.com advert? Peter Jones, you fool! Anyway, so yeah, with the rain and everything, the lightning and thunder got a bit closer. At one point it was really close, and really bright, and really loud, and everyone shat themselves. I DON’T REMEMBER WHAT ELSE!?!?! Oh, I don’t know. If anyone knows, just lemme know and I might edit it in. It’s 23:48 now, and I’m gonna wrap it up here. GOODNIGHT MY LOVERS.
Ok, so these 2 pictures don’t quite show it all that well, but perhaps you can see the point. The guy on the right is the one we actually met there, completing our team, which consisted of myself, Sean, Liam, Adnahn, Guny, joe and George (AKA Bruno). So after waiting some more, we set off. It was uneventful to start off with. All we did was take some pictures of bridges and stuff, because we have to prepare a presentation on architecture >_<. Eventually we got lost, inevitably. We were already a little bit annoyed, because our route was 5km longer than some of the other groups, but then we ended up adding a lot on. Eventually, having been going for 6 1/2 hours now, we ended up by camp, where we got interigated as to why we took so long. We were accused of taking shortcuts… shortcuts that added about qan hour and a half to our ETA. We weren’t the last group there though, which was a bit suprising. So yeah, we set up tent and got met up with some of the others. I don’t remember many specifics of what happened, but we had a bit of a giggle. Once again we crammed most of us into our 3 man tent, and we stayed in there until about midnight I think, then kiceked everyone out to get some sleep.
I think this picture deserves a caption competition…
Warning, phaedos… waning, Gundy.
And Adnahn watching him from behidn a nearby tree.
