Covent Garden

Today (September 29, 2007) we went to a market and bought a little magnet puppy and a head band. There were a lot of people there on the weekend.

Today we went to Covent Garden. We bought some things in little shops and I bought a little dog called Benjy and I bought a headband and it was purple with black spots with little lines. Then we had lunch. I had a falafel and hummus wrap and organic juice.

Going to the science museum!

Today we went to a science museum that was very interesting. We went to the Launch Pad. That’s a place where you touch things. Then we had lunch and then we went to a place called Pattern Pod. We drew pictures there.

Today we went to the science museum. We went in a room called the Launch Pad and it was full of cool things. Mum and I had a go on a satellite where someone talks on a thing and you (well whoever is at the other end) hears you because of the satellite and the other satellite. We saw bubble things where you pushed a handle and bubbles blow. I don’t know why it is there because it doesn’t mean anything. I saw and went in a thing where you make a shape (a pose) and the machine takes a photo of your shadow.

We were walking down from our apartment in Paris and Dad was carrying the two suitcases and we were down the stairs and Dad was trying to hurry and he fell down the stairs and hit his badly. But he is okay. Then we went back to London on the train again for two hours.

Today we came to Ross and Susanna's hotel and we spent the day with them. First we went to the playground. Then we went on the Ferris wheel and Susanna could spin our carriage and Ross said he would stop it but it was a coincidence. So he kept trying and he stopped it again and again. Then we went back to the playground and it started dripping and we said to S and R it is okay to go outside but then it really started to pour down and they were still sitting outside. So they had to run in the shelter. After that we had lunch and I had some dessert, which was real vanilla. Then we went on a boat and had a little look around in the boat. We saw the Eiffel Tower and we saw Notre Dame and we went past the island with Notre Dame on it. Then we had dinner and Ross and Susanna took us home.
