CYPRUS

well hello haha, i have so much to tell, and my battery is being a bit low and a bit silly, but they were messing around with the electric earlier, we have a funny key that you slot in to turn it all on, and when you take it out, only the fride stays on.

SO, our flight was at first delayed for 3 hours, or sort of, we were meant to take of at 2:30, we really took off around 7. Silly French people going on strike on air traffic control France...

That meant that by the time we were out of the airport it was mum's birthday yayyyy!!

So far we have been in the pool, the pool, the local supermarket, and the pool haha, and right now i am HAX00RZZ me some internetz at my nan's house, coz she like, lives here....like....

But yeah, it's really hot, but really cool, and we just jump into the pool when we wake up and before we sleep haha.

Last night, we went to a cool restaraunt and got a bit bombarded with food, mum's mum and her other half had ordered a meze, which is like tapas mixed with a mixed grill so we got overloaded with food...but there was a nice touch in where they made or bought mum a birthday cake, but the cake out here is really light and creamy haha

Another cool thing is that our villa is facing the sea, and we can see the sunset on the sea and then reflected on the pool haha, i'll take some snaps. And the restaraunt was right on the beach and the sunset was right there!!!!

so yeah, it's fun and i wish you guys could come share it :D

love you all

the time is 2 hours ahead btw, it's not that far, and i can only get the internets here, and my nan's place.

I'm here with mum, alex me bro, my stepdad chris, nana, and her other half, also chris, who we call big chris, and he's doing pork chops :D

haha

have fun 'n' all that jazz

Just a quick one :D

Okay, Hi hi, this is going to be quick because right now I'm just about excited enough to be smiling :D

haha, I try and not get too excited about these things, but tomorrow I'm off to Cyprus to see nana and chris coz they live out there, and we get to stay in a villa with a pool.... A POOL haha

and we get to have some good quality family time, with good quality holidaying, good quality pictures and videos, and good quality life enriching stuff!!

The only place i can get internetz is at my nana's place, which is a ten minute walk away from the villa, but I won't be there very often, but when I am I will update here haha, also on youtube, and if you are especially awesome then you will see updates on facebook :D

So yes, I'm looking forward to it...!!

Also, it is mum's birthday on thursday, so we're having out there, but we're going over to TGI Friday's for a meal to celebrate, and eating some of my stepdad's immense jelly with haribo in. I asked him what flavour it was and he said "secret flavour"

So other than that, I love you all and hope you have a good time reading this!!!

LOVE RACHEL!

22:53

That's the time, when I started typing this...I have a feeling it's going to be a long long wait...

You see, right now, I'm waiting for youtube to get a move on and upload my 8 minute long video, you see i've been doing it since thursday haha.

I edited 52 different videos, let's just say congrats to my flip ultra HD...maybe I should name that. I named my first camera "Kung Pao" after the chinese food dish, but I can't remember why...

So anyway, I'm at my computer, and i thought i'd just talk to my one follower, which is erin...maybe i could get some more soon, that would be nice.

Do you know what this reminds me of? That peice of music - 4:33, which was just 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence haha, well, only the title name. I loved doing that experimental topic in GCSE music, we all got asked to grab different instruments - I remember someone getting an umbrella, and when we were all ready we just had to stand/sit in silence and not do anything. Which was really hard because I had a stupid rattle bell thing.

Do you remember the egg shakers in junior school...those were some good times. Haha I can still smell my junior school.

Oh look on that, I'm back on baking life. It's not like I have an addiction or anything, it's just something to do when I'm bored I suppose, and it's rewarding if you put work in, but I'm off to cyprus next week and the bakery will have to suffer for a bit I suppose haha.

I keep forgetting I am writing this, and have now gone onto "failbooking.com" good for a laugh. What do you thing will happen first: My baklava being ready on bakinglife (27 mins) or my video being ready on youtube... -_-

Youtube is being such a pain with all the upload speeds, but if it started working on them and changing it around it seems to upset the whole entire universe and twitter goes over capacity and nearly kills another whale.

I always feel sorry for the birds when that happens to be honest.

Oh wow look at that, I am on CTFxC again, I will admit an addiction to that haha, I just can't help myself.

And I'm waiting for the internet to load, yet it still won't. Story of my life, I'm just gonna fill this blog with pointless labels.

Oh okay, so my baklava is now served, and youtube still has 5 minutes, and then it will take for next month to sort out quality...GAH 4 minutos...

YAY

so the video is now available at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsXmGgEb9uA

so yeah haha

thanks for listening

What is going on!?

So today, I was going to try and tackle more of the film retrieved on Thursday! But we ended up having visitors.

They're really nice, and a couple of really cute kids, which meant that i got to watch cbeebies and spongebob...not like i wasn't watching the suite life of zack and cody and iCarly before....

Yesterday, Ryan(<3)and I went on BlogTV and did a live cast of us playing Tony Hawk's Underground 2, and yes, I'm not too sure why. Also I went to the dentist yesterday, she's this really awesome dentist who says "you have beautiful teeth" to presumably everyone. Oh, and in the waiting room me and my brother were seeing who could fold their form the most sharpest and make the best scratch on each others arms...I failed at that.

I'm really not up to much though, I can here Muse from my brother's room, the PC playing at random downstairs, a train, a plane, the dog in the garden, and I can also hear what caused me to name this Blog the way I did: I think there is some event going on across the river that includes blasting Indian Raga fusion (technical name please?) very loudly.

So yeah, I'm just watching CTFxC, being on msn, playing baking life on facebook and waiting for the pizza to arrive haha :P

Love you all

Today

What can I say about today, other than wow...

So, we were meant to be doing the whole IKEA thing, but the weather once again beat us, silly mother nature. So we went to Erins. That took a lot of organizing as nobody had credit and things so :S

...but it all worked out fine in the end.

Today was amazing and I have 4.74 GB of film on my computer to sift through before youtube gets blessed with the uploading haha!!

I'm sad because I can here the rain again :( wind and rain...

Today was great fun, with Erin, Matt and Charlie, I know they enjoyed it too, and i still managed to get home in time to wash up my brother's plates haha :)

Love all you guys, sorry it's short but I really wanna watch Big Bang Theory just so i can get the lyrics to the intro right :)

Good Day!

The First One

Hello World

Well, what shall I type to you.... I know, I'm British, so I'll complain.

My Brother

So, firstly, let's go way back to about Monday the 20 somethingth of June. You see, it is my chore to wash up any breakfast and lunch plates, and as i finished school on the 18th of June, I have been washing up whenever I liked throughout the day.

My brother loves to come home and just eat, he isn't fat or anything, he just comes in from school and gorges on bread and well just anything, and makes quite a mess. So, sick and tired I am, of cleaning his mess, I just didn't bother to wash it up, because I'd already washed up at 12:30 why should I do so again at 4 just for him. So anyway, he's been asked to do his own plates, and he barely ever does it, but still, another way for him to get in trouble.

SO.... back to today...to today sounds really wierd, anyway, back here in the now, well, more in the 5pm area. So, today I came down at 5, and walked into the living room to see alex lying on the sofa totally immorsed in King Of Queens with two plates balancing a load of rubbish and mess from his eatings, so i skip out, as i do, i like to skip, and then suddenly remember that mum had used "George" to fry some bacon... that's our George Foreman grill, so anyway.

That was the morning, so there was that horrible smell of bacon fat in the sink, and i saw the little collecter pan thingy that had water in it, because it had been rinsed, had formed a slight skin. Well, Okay, no biggy, but then i looked at the cutlery, and the mugs that had water in, and noted the skin was everywhere. I gulped, and picked up the sponge.

I hesitated.

I sniffed.

The sponge had soaked up a large amount of this greasey fat liquid, and the smell was revolting, i was on the floor dry heaving, because of the smell, so i threw the sponge away, and slowly but surely, found a new sponge and crawled to face the bacony damage.

Yes, this was my fault for not washing up earlier, but remember, my point was my brother, so, as i choke and go pale and nearly vomit at least nine times, he's just sitting in the other room, unaware watching adverts. Not even the programme anymore. Infact, I bet he'd be able to turn over to the plus one channel and watch the same things again....and still not notice me facing my bacony wrath.

Oh but I do love my dear sibling, and can't wait to holiday with him to cyprus next week :D

Well anyway, I hope you enjoyed my first post, I'd like to dedicate this to all sufferers of incompetent siblings around haha (he washed his plates up at around 6 in the end)

And also to my dear friend Erin, who also did her first post today

Good day!
