Weekly News Round-Up #75: 16/11/2014

Hello, one and all! I hope you've had a good week; it's been a slightly hectic one for us, but nevertheless fun. Got a few stories to share, let's jump to it!

From her trip to Paris, Cap very kindly brought back some lollipops for us all! But, of course, you'd be a fool to think they were just your ordinary 'pops, there were a variety of flavours, such as banana (why aren't more things banana flavoured?), cherry and candy floss (sugar-flavoured sugar...makes sense). A big thanks to Cap for thinking of us! Here's a pick of my banana lollipop:

Paris 'pops from Cap. :)

In the middle of the week, we made paper planes out of a pile of papers on the lunch table. Naturally, this turned into a battle of sorts, no teams, just every man for themself. Then came the plot twist, when Master decided to make a boat, that was quickly transformed into a Peter Pan hat, or the typical air stewardess hat, when worn at the correct angle.

Thursday saw ArwaChihuahua and Wicks in the library, where they found a rather interesting book that explained the history behind English surnames. It was most interesting and we just couldn't resist looking up the meanings behind everyone's names. Guess who we found...

On the same day, Master was most surprised to find that the local comic book shop actually had the most recent stock! This called for a quick buy, not taking any chances because some titles seem to fly off the shelves. As always, they were still missing the ones that were supposed to come over a month ago, but never mind. Onwards and upwards...

With the history production coming up next week, Thursday evening called for another rehearsal, followed by a performance at an assembly. Wicks and ConscienceSarah were both obliged to stay, as they were, respectively, the lead singer and part of the band. The turn-out for backing singers was borderline poor, with only Oski Bear and Master staying. To keep spirits up, they ordered a pizza, an altogether new phone call experience for all. Master was nominated to be the phone spokesperson and was even provided with a loose script of what to say. It took slightly longer than expected to arrive, along with a few complications of trying to explain the address. As a consequence, Wicks, Oski Bear and Master ended up waiting outside for what felt like a very long time, trying to spot potential cars. All's well that ends well, the guy finally rocked up and we got our meal!

By the time we had to perform, we'd all tried to stop drinking Coca-Cola. Overall, it went really well; Oski Bear did start one chorus too early, but by the time Master joined it seemed like we meant for it to be in canon. Well done to all, and remember, canon is the way to go ;p

Until next week, have a good one ;)
