Weekly News Round-Up #51: 09/02/2014

Hey guys! Hope you've all had a good week. Here's what happened around here...

At the beginning of the week, Wicks, ConscienceSarah and Master had a little chat about films that they had seen recently. A certain film that was discussed was 'Eragon', which Master claimed gave 'The Last Airbender' a run for its money in terms of acting. They then humoured themselves with the idea of possible sequels, where ConscienceSarah tried to pitch the idea of calling the new X-Men movie 'X-Men: Second Class'.

Breaktime saw ANT explaining to everyone the new snack rationing system that was implemented in her house only this week. This is where all members of the household are given a certain number of snacks at the beginning of the week and they are not allowed any refills until the next week. It appeared that not everyone was planning ahead, with ANT's brother, KrazyK, already having consumed half of his snacks before Tuesday...

The lunchtime discussion topic turned out to be 'strange stuff that people do in a swimming pool'. It dawned upon us that Wicks, who works as a lifeguard, essentially gets paid to people-watch. Whatta job.

At the board meeting, Alexis' hat was a major topic of discussion, with Wicks and Master both trying it on. Here's a picture of the beanie in question:

From then onwards it was just utter headwear mayhem, with ConscienceSarah wearing Wicks' scarf and being transformed into various characters, such as a Romanian granny and also a pirate.

We also toyed around with the idea of opening a fancy dress store in the future, possible after retirement, as it would be likely that we would have acquired an arsenal of costumes by then.

It wasn't only Alexis' beanie that was getting all the attention, his scarf was also subject to being thrown abouts and wrapped around chair legs. Naturally, Alexis was less than happy with this.

Towards the end of the week, we had some fun with rubber gloves by inflating them and pretending they were real hands. After popping them, we ended up throwing them abouts, which eventually turned into a competitive game of sorts.

Until next week, have a good one :)
