School-ish

So I started 'school' today. Homeschooling, to be exact. I took some books with me for the car ride to my sister's place - Clapton: The Autobiography, Anne of Avonlea, The Pocket Gallileo and a pocket guide to science. I only read Clapton and Anne, though. I took my camera with me, too, so that I could take photos of Jeffrey, but I only got one decent shot. I'll put it up on my Flickr soon, and eventually up on this very blog.

Jeffrey is such a sweetheart. Very talkative. Mom thinks he's definitely half Siamese because of his colouring and face structure. He's so big compared to Mouse, though! And Katie (my sister) said that he wouldn't eat the treats she bought, and yet when my mom gave him treats he ate them!

We went out to a place called Wonder Sushi for lunch, which was great. I'm not keen on sushi, but I love udon noodles and tempura. We got these dumplings that were pretty tasty, too, and chicken teriyaki, which was awesome. For dessert, we had ice cream - I had mango, Katie and Mom had green tea and Dan (Katie's boyfriend) had vanilla. I tried a bit of Mom's green tea ice cream, and it was pretty good. I'll have to get the green tea ice cream next time.

So, for an early birthday gift, Katie gave me soap and a bath ball. The bath ball is from Lush, and I think the soap is too. They smell lovely.

We couldn't get Q107 in London Ontario, so we listened to their local rock station, FM 96, which isn't too bad. I actually like it better than our local rock station, Y108. When we tuned into FM 96, the first song we heard was Lust For Life by Iggy Pop, which Y108 NEVER plays. Q107 sometimes plays Iggy Pop, but not a lot. And then we heard an interview with Liam Gallagher from Oasis, and then a new track from Oasis. I can't remember what it was called or how it goes, but I remember liking it. Oasis are cool :) Although one of their songs has a raunchy title. I also got to hear the title track from Coldplay's new album, Viva la Vida. As I mentioned in an older post, I first heard it on Galaxie Rock, which is one of Bell's satellite music stations... actually, I think it's owned by CBC.

Music Sunday!!!!!

Today was Music Sunday at the Unitarian church. I didn't even realize that it was until I read the order of service. The service leader read a hilarious reading about altos, and how they don't get as much attention as sopranos. I'm probably an alto :p After all, I'm no Freddie Mercury! I always get this great feeling after hearing someone sing in church. I guess it makes me want to practise my keyboard. Sometimes I do practise my keyboard after church, actually. I'd like to sing at a Music Sunday, though. We sung some pretty cool hymns, actually. And the folks who sung in the service were good.

We went to Fortino's after church. Before we left, my mom said that she wanted to go to Fortino's, to which I replied that we'll see people from church! We saw Ann again, but I didn't recognize anyone else. We picked up some chicken pieces, which were pretty good. Mom cut up some cucumber to go with it, and we all washed some cherry tomatoes and pear tomatoes. I think Dad cut up a larger tomato as well, because there's a paring knife on the cutting board where Mom cut up the cucumber, and I think the knife had tomato guts on it.

I have to start my regular homeschooling on Tuesday! The same day we're going to visit my sister! Wow. The summer has just flown by. I guess our trip to see my sister in London Ontario will be a 'field trip'. Sweet :)
