Presents.
I wanted this to have its own post because it was so amazing! I received a rather large parcel from home the other day and as soon as I opened it I was ecstatic. My hands were shaking I was that happy. I didn't know what to do with myself, I was running around like god knows what. I think I got a bit too excited with all the sweets and scoffed half of them almost immediately, it was the best. I did feel a little ill later on though.
I was so happy to have art materials as I had been really missing painting. I realised that the last time I had done any painting was in my Art exam for my A2. I did another on monday night and was quite pleased with the final outcome, I stuck to sunsets and landscapes, but missed out the birds.
I had quite a hard time explaining the teachers that the picture on my T-shirt of me, the one Kate Whiteside got me for my 18th, was actually me. David tried to back me up but they still didn't believe it. I didn't want to take my top off and show them as this would have been highly inappropriate, so I just left it there.
I rang my mum to say thank you and it was lovely to hear her voice, and my dad's as well. Nancy said hello, but in a very shy manor, unlike her.
I am still delighted about everything in the parcel, the TRX is great. I am getting David on it, he is not really used to excessive amounts of excersise, but hopefully I will be able to change that. I might take note of my Mum's motivational technique and just scream "COME ON" in his face. I may even add in "PAIN IS JUST WEAKNESS LEAVING THE BODY". David is going to love it!
HOO RAHH!!!

Glad you liked the parcel Ben and I was equally glad to hear you again.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot the classic "get over yourself" quote that has become Mum's catch phrase.
The reason that the students could not reconcile the image on the shirt and you could be something to do with the loss of muscle definition over the past year. Hopefully the TRX and the Muay Thai will change the perception into reality.
Like you Ben I am going to have to get more exercise, if for no other reason than to be able to maintain my record of beating you in play fights.
love you

Hi Ben
ReplyDeleteThey probably didn't think that anyone could really have a body that great .. HaHaa!
Sorry to hear you haven't been well, hope you are on the mend now.
Its great to hear how your doing from your folks...had a lovely evening out with your mum and Emma in the Palatine a few weeks ago, your mum looks great and Emma too !! I had my usual few vino's (bottles)!
Looking forward to keeping your bed warm on New Years Eve, apparently I am allowed.
We hope you are ok Ben and enjoying every moment and the home sickness is ok.
Love the Whitesides
