Exams – Urgh

24 exams – 24, really !!! . Urgh.

Well, I’ve reached the halfway point and actually it’s not been too bad so far. Even maths has been manageable (a small miracle given how I feel about algebra and trigonometry 🙂 )

The only real bump in the road has been one of my possible future colleges stuffing up the courses that they run.

I received an email about a month ago letting me know that “because of a scheduling conflict” I can no longer do both English and Drama at the college. I mean – who needs English to do Drama …

They did arrange a call though for yesterday to go through my options – which had shrunk even further. “Unfortunately we can’t offer you Drama now as there are not enough pupils wanting to do the course“.

Who’d have thought by scheduling English and Drama at the same time, the movement of pupils from Drama to English would collapse the Drama course.

Oh wait …

Bit of shame really as they were one of my preferred choices. Luckily my number one choice does have enough people to do both courses and has some really amazing teachers, so maybe the universe is giving me a small nudge 🙂

Right – best head back to the books – a little light revision before a bit of walking the dog on this really beautiful spring day,

My First Cooking Barbeque

Wow, what a day. To put it into context Granny, Grandad and Grandma came round to my house with social distancing rules still in place, but it definitely worked.

Granny and Grandad came first, me, Granny and Grandad had a nice long chat. Then Grandma came. All of us had a massive chat, we all went to the table and ate some snacks. (Mummy had quite alot of crisps).

Then I had the big job of lighting the BBQ (Yay). There was quite a lot of flames and smoke . It took quite a lot of time to get the fire to the right temperature for cooking.

My job today was to cook the sausages. This was the most exciting time of my BBQing career (the first of many). The tongs were a little to big for my liking but that was ok. The sausages were going a little bit golden brown which is a very good sign. It took about 5-6 minutes to cook the sausages but, it was worth it.The sausages were very delish.

Coronovirus 2020

Coronovirus 2020

Coronavirus was one of the most stressful things I had to go through. I was at still at school when that happened, but not for very much longer. The first week of homeschooling was really weird. Getting used to the emails and responses, and how much time I didn’t have.

Then it was the Easter break !🙋‍♂️. It then came back but in a new form, that form was Showbie. A much better site for setting out work and producing work. There were some positives, I was ALOT more concentrated than ever.

As my wise head of school said you come in one side and you always have to come out the other side. He was right, I was back at school for two weeks then at last I could breathe a sigh of relief. Summer holidays were here and I, Toby Holdsworth am enjoying every moment of it!!

My Trip to A&E

Having had a good week at home, I was looking forward to a quiet spell of eating, growing and possibly some good sleeping. However this wasn’t to be.

One  evening, whilst just snuggling down in my Moses basket,  Daddy picked me up in the basket and headed for the stairs. As we headed through the kitchen, I felt a great lurch and suddenly one side of my bedroom dropped. End result – your’s truly was flung (and I mean flung !!) out straight onto the cold (and very hard) kitchen floor.  From snuggled to face plant in no time at all !!!!!

This was rather a shock and with a bit of a bump on my face, I took the matter up with Daddy in no uncertain terms. Well, I would have done if I hadn’t been crying so much.

Daddy looked competely horrified and shocked. He scooped me up, ran upstairs, yelled something at Mummy about “going to A&E now” – the last time we went there it was Mummy’s turn.  So I think it must be Daddy’s turn next. Anyway about 10 minutes later (and a lot of sobbing on my part – yes I did cry like a baby) we arrived.  It was very busy and very warm at A&E and I drifted off to sleep (which didn’t help Daddy’s nerves apparently).  We were there for ages before I was seen by a nice man who give me an initial check over. Luckily I didn’t have to get naked and no heel prick !!! The nice man said that a Doctor would come and see me just to make sure that I was ok – I thought this was very nice – I must be an important baby as Doctors always seem very busy in this A&E place.

A few hours later (I think as I had drifted off again) I was seen by “The Doctor” who I rate most highly as his advice to Mummy and Daddy was to feed me and make sure I wasn’t sick.  If that’s what happens at this A&E place, I’m all for it. After I’d been feed, “The Doctor” checked me over and told Mummy and Daddy to take me home.  I think Daddy was quite relieved as he’d cried a little bit earlier in the evening.

All in a quite busy evening. I have a small bruise on the side of my face. I only hope that the gorgeous girls I’ve been introduced to (Chloe and Hermione) don’t notice (although I’m not sure when I’m seeing them again). Daddy is also being very very careful when he picks me up at the moment. I think he’s learnt his lesson.
