Hello again! I am finally sitting here typing another entry after such a long break in writing. So much for writing more reguarly, like I said in my last post.  I really will try to write more reguarly. One of the reasons I don't write often is because of the rule my parents have put in place. My sister and I are usually only allowed on the internet on our weekends but occasionally they will allow us to get on.  Anyway, I suppose you are all waiting to hear what I have been up to lately.

This week, after my granparents had left on Tuesday morning, my sister and I were able to squeeze in a little school time. My grandparents came up for my sister's and my birthdays on the 26th and 27th of September. My little sister's birthday is the day before mine. People can never understand when we tell them our birthdates, how my little sister's birthday is before mine.  How strange... (he,he,he) Anyway, my sister and I enjoyed our birthdays a lot and had the tastiest cake. It was a mud cake. (My entire family always enjoys mud cake but we only get them occasionally.) We got a rather large one between the two of us and the rest of the family. We still have some to eat as my Mummy decided to keep some in the freezer for the next week. Faith (my little sister's name on my blog) and I enjoyed our birthdays and the presents we received a lot and appreciated them all. I was very happy with the big book full of double-sided A1 horse posters I received, as I love horses a lot and they are my favourite animals. I'm afraid I don't have much room on my walls for them though considering their size. (As you can imagine) Anyway, as I was saying (schoolwork) Faith and I did a half day of school on that Tuesday and now as the week is coming to an end, I don't feel like we missed too much school on that day. As some of you know, we have been on holidays for weeks. Each week we have intended to start back ends up having something that prevents us from beginning again. We already missed a lot of school back at the beginning of the year because Mummy had an illness that involved surgery, 4 days in hospital and a lot of recovery time. She is doing much better now though and we (like I said above) were able to start school again. We have a yearly minimum that we have to reach and we will be working steadily and hard the rest of the year if we want to reach that goal.  Hopefully, with the Lord's help we will. As for the week in general, it has not been too bad. My sister and I just moved our bedroom (we share a bedroom) around to a more convenient layout.  We have had lot's of practise moving around bedrooms as we have done it quite a few times. Especially when we had seperate rooms and used to move ourselves around a lot!  I am currently working a cross-stitch to give to Faith for her birthday next year and that takes up a lot of time too. We also have a cat and three guinea-pig's to attend to each day and that can be quite time consuming when you have to bath the guinea-pig's every second day due to the hot weather, like we are doing now. I would never want to give any of our animals up though. In fact , I want more!!!!  Just before I leave for today and post this entry, I'll tell you about the garden. Our garden has not been completed yet as we have been really busy and we have another issue on our hands at the moment before we can do anything with the garden. This issue will largely decide what we plant in our garden.

Well, I'd better go now so I can read up on what other people have been doing.
