Think Happy...28/52...

Wow, I've been MIA again! It really feels like blogging has become a chore recently, what with how busy I've been this holiday, which is not a nice feeling at all! It may just be the huge masses of photos I need to search through and edit. But here goes, last week's Think Happy which would normally have been posted on Sunday.


1. Towards the start of the week, the weather was absolutely gorgeous! A little chilly at times, but the skies were blue and the sun was out. I spent a lot of my time out in the garden with my camera.

2. I had a mini photoshoot with my brothers. I can't show the photos I took of them yet, but here is one my brother took of me.

3. Easter! I got a lot of chocolate!


4. I danced in London on Sunday, at Sadler's Wells Theatre! It was such an incredible experience! Photos to follow!

That's all for now! See you soon!

Think Happy...23/52...

First things first, yet more apologies for this post being late, and last week's Tunesday post non-existent. My Cats show is coming up and I've had an unbelievable amount of rehearsals and exams. But anyway, shall we start?

1. Noticing all of the blossom growing on the trees! The weather, especially yesterday (Sunday) was just perfect; it's really starting to feel like spring now!


2. Hannah started her very own blog! Read it here, trust me, she's amazing!


3. Dance rehearsals have gone well, 5 weeks until I dance in London!


4. Cats rehearsals yesterday went so unbelievably well! I got my (unfinished) costume, we recorded for the radio and took photos for the newspaper!

Some funny instances: I almost fell off a wall in the cemetery (outside where we rehearse) so Shane caught me; everyone's reactions to the costumes; dancing around and posing for photos; singing for the radio and only hearing one or two people in the recording! Aha it was so much fun! Then I had to rush off to another two-hour dance class, after already dancing for four hours!


I hope everyone's week was amazing! Just a note: if I don't post my regular posts for the next 12 or so days, you'll know that I'm at rehearsals! Wish me luck!

Think Happy...17/52...

Well it's Sunday again! How are you all, and how's your week been? I hope it's been good :)

1. This week I've really been able to hear the birds singing in the mornings while walking to school, and at those times it feels like spring is almost here! But other times leads me to think that winter hasn't yet started, what with all the rain we've been getting. I really hope the weather starts to cheer up soon.


2. Dance classes yet again. I had my hair in a baby quiff and tons of makeup on, all for a photoshoot for the programme for when we dance in London. I'm so excited!!

Hannah isn't dancing in London with me, but she did my bronzer for me :)

Also, contemporary class on Tuesday was so hysterically funny, from 'running like peacocks and apes' to racing to see if we were locked into the car park! Never had so much fun!


3. Cats rehearsals today were good. Because our choreographer was off ill, our director taught us a couple of new songs, meaning we're more or less done! With less than eight weeks until the performances, all we need to do now is practise and practise and practise.

Today, Charlotte (our Grizabella) watched us dance through the Jellicle Ball and gave us all feedback, including for me to act the role more. Apparantly I dance perfectly, but I need to become the chatacter more. So we ran through the twelve-minute dance once more and I really went OTT with the acting, earning a number of smiles and head nodding from Charlotte and our director, which was extremely nice!

I've never been great at acting - only scraping low level 5's in year eight drama classes (not great - at year six you want to be working at high level 5's!); so today I've finally been given some criticism to act upon. At dance I hardly ever get criticism, so it feels good to be able to see myself growing as a performer.


4. I've been working on some new crochet designs, so keep your eyes open for a sneak peak soon!


5. Just this week in general, really! I made up with a close friend after falling out, which was super nice!! Hope it stays this way! We've also had some sunny weather over the weekend, although I doubt that will last.


That's all for today, folks; I hope your week has been as good as mine has, and I hope to see you again next week!

Happy November!...

It seems as though this year has gone extremely fast, and it's now almost Christmas! Has everyone been keeping with their new years resolutions? I set myself two and I've kept them!

The weather today has been really quite pleasant. I mean, it was cloudy, but it was also surprisingly warm!

I went to the cinema with my brothers and mum to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. I personally don't think it was as good as the first movie, but it was good nonetheless.

Later, in the afternoon, I met up with my friend Greg for the first time, and he's so tall! Haha :) We met up with another of my friends, Milli, and walked her dog with her :)

So overall, a great day :) How was yours?

Finally - pictures....

Hello my lovely people! I have finally been able to upload some pictures, and I won't keep you waiting any longer. The weather has been kinder to us here, after all of the snow we had over Easter, and though it's still cold, the sun is out!

 

 



The trees have yet to grow leaves, and the weather-people on TV have forecast showers and that it will get warmer so that's all good!

 

 

My photography has (I hope) been improving too! Here is my 365 Project, where you take a photo everyday and post it. I would really recommend it to any photographers out there.

 

 



I am second from the left in this photo :) It was taken at the most recent dance show our dance school performed, and my friend Hannah is on the far left.
