DIY Dad

Hi readers!

Today my dad and I went around to the side of the house to find out why the drain pipe was leaking. The pipe is at the top of the house so we had to get a really tall ladder to reach it.

It was my job to hold the ladder sturdy while my dad went up to find out what was wrong.

"Hmm, everything looks like it's in place" my dad said. He started to fiddle with the pipes. I looked up and saw him staring into the pipe.

"Aha!"he said,"There's a lot of water up here, it must be spilling over because of a blockage."
So my dad started to pull one of the joints off.

"There's going to be a lot of water spilling down FJ, but don't let go of the ladder." I was expecting a lot of water but nothing could have prepared me for the waterfall that followed!

"YEUCH!" my dad yelled as the water splashed all over him. I was so glad I was wearing my hood as my ears started ringing from the noise of the water.

SPLASH SPLISH SPLOOSH!

The water got EVERYWHERE! Amidst the water was a thick black substance that looked like soil that had got clogged up in the pipe.
The water stopped flowing eventually and my dad told me to get the watering can and fill it up so he could wash the soil of the side of our house.

I got the watering can and filled it up. When I got back around the house, my dad was off the ladder and had a tennis ball by his feet.

"This is what caused the blockage," he told me.

"Someone must have knocked it out of their garden and it landed in our drain pipe", I replied.

My dad was still looking up at the pipe when he said "Y'know what, I'm not going to bother back up there since we've already fixed the blockage." I could definitely tell tha he was scared, I just hope that he doesn't read this!

Thats all for now...

The Big Birthday Bash

G'morning readers!

Yesterday was my mum's 50th birthday! We had an amazing party. There was an arch of balloons going over the big table where she was sitting with her friends.

Over 400 people came! She got sooo many gifts it was awesome! I didn't know my parents had so many friends!

This morning, I was helping her unwrap her presents and in the end she said she couldn't cope with all of them. I think her favorite one was that nice musical picture frame. It's got a Christian moral in it and plays the tune "How Great Thou Art".

My favorite gift that she got was the "whole fruit juicer", my dad likes it too! We are going to buy some oranges to make pure orange juice. It's really sweet.

I'm having a great weekend, what have you been up to?

The Suite Life of Troy and Chad

Hiya readers,

today's post is about something that I watched on TV.
I'd just gotten home from school and I thought I might as well watch some TV because I was going to have to start studying for my test papers coming up so I flicked onto Disney Channel and started watching The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and the episode was about a school play they where doing.
As it turns out, the play is a parody of High School Musical! Maddie(Ashley Tidale) auditions as Sharpay (naturally) and gets put as an understudy instead and London gets the part!
I'm not going to spoil it for anyone who wants to watch it but I thought it would be nice to let you know, it's quite funny seeing a Disney movie being show in a Disney TV show...

Thanks for reading!
