Turning 12

It was my 12th birthday on the 2nd of august, 2 days ago. Dad woke me up early(6:00) as he always goes to work early and had to go to work on my birthday. Mum and my sister came next, and they both sat on my double bed.I opened my grandparents' card first, and I got $50.Next I opened a present from Charlie which was a robot made of wire, beads, and oddly coloured rubber stuff. It also held a strung bow in its hands. After that cool present I opened a present from my uncle Jason and it was a nokia 5030 mobile phone. It's a small, black and red phone with a massive speaker. It was one of my best presents so far. My present from Mum and Dad was a games workshop gift card, a subscription to Top Gear magazine, and a PlayStation 2 game called Buzz: the mega quiz,which, like the name suggests is a general knowledge game full of funny mini-games, good 1-liners and the odd mix of contestants. I played with my presents most of the day. I also got money from Pop and vouchers from my best friend Ben and his family.
When Dad got home from work we went out to the pub for dinner. Mum and I went halves with chicken parmigiana and fettuccine carbonara. I enjoyed the pasta best. We arrived home and the family sang happy birthday and presented the cake. It was a, by any standards, brilliant, mouth watering massive cake. It was a double layered mud cake with lollies and special wafery M and Ms. Also, it was held together by white chocolate with M and Ms inside. It was delicious. Mum and Charlie made it.

Thank You for reading and I will make another post soon

Horse Races

I went to the Hedland Cup on the 3rd of August.

I wore a black feather fascinator in my hair, Pumpkin Patch flowered dress and & flat pink shoes. Mum also wore a fascinator & black dress that has a purple V neck with purple court shoes. She carried a black clutch with tiny mirrored tiles. We saw lots of pretty ladies. My favourite outfit of the day was a lady that had a facinator with stripes of yellow, blue and red. Her dress was all black with one strap over the shoulder. She wore it with a yellow beaded necklace and yellow wedged heels.




The crowd of 8000 cheered on Teppanyaki as he won the cup. He is a bay coloured horse trained in Port hedland by Kevin. He swims at Pretty Pool beach for exercise near our house. He won $27, 500 for the race.



It was hard to walk around because there were so many people. I spoke to two of the four mounted policemen. I told them that my Uncle owns a race horse in Victoria. They spoke to me about the new horses they had which were Clydies. I had a pat and the horse licked my hand with it's rough tongue.

It was a fun day. I enjoyed getting dressed up and looking at the horses.
