At the weekend....

So at the weekend I went to a camp with the Cubs and Scouts. I didn't want to go cause I thought the kids would annoy me and my wee sister never does anything I say. However, I had to go cause I was getting the first part of my adult training at this camp.

(The following is an extract from my blog on Bebo cause I am being lazy...)

It was actually pretty fun. Friday night we had hot dogs when we got there. Then all the kids went out and played "hidey" in the dark. Of course, the Scouts slept in tents, so they had to put them up first. You should have seen the stars! It was beautiful! I don't think I've ever seen so many stars.

On Saturday, the Scouts went for a hike up a hill while the Cubs stayed behind and made paper boats. At first they didn't work and a couple of them disappeared. Then, the only one to stay upright second time round was Ian's.

Then they got some "Hot Shots" planes before preparing for the puppet show they were planning to do.

The puppet show was about "Dodgy Sheep", a sheep which continously dies in various ways. They then went on to tell horror stories. My dad (Scout Leader) then told them about the Grey Men of the Mist which scared the hell out of them. Iain (another leader) opened the curtains to show them a hand... which was my dad's, but you should have heard the screams!

Afterwards, a couple of Scouts had to fill up the buckets from the burn (for flushing the toilets) and Iain decided to scare them. One of them saw a movement and freaked out, announcing "It's happening!" We had a bit of a laugh about that!

I've decided I would love to take my friends there for a weekend. I just have doubts they will want to come...

Got a show to do tomorrow morning for Fusion from half 9. I should have asked for a later time. Too late now.

On Wednesday, it's the Freshers Fair and I have to do a stall for the Guild of Fanatical Terry Pratchett Fans. I'm worrying about it and I hope it goes well.

I've got another show on Thursday morning but with Hazel. Should be fun. Will probably be cold as both times we will be outside.

Looking forward to all of it (although not so much, the Freshers' Fair). Especially looking forward to going back to uni. It'll give me something to do.

Uni may have given you something to do, but it took away your blogging time! Noooo!

The fair went fairly well I would say. Sure, a shakey start and me wandering in an hour late after mildly sleeping in slightly... but otherwise it was fab!

From what I hear, you always sleep in.

Good luck with getting to that presentation in time! :P

I hardly wrote on this in the first place...
