Cricket Finals

As all of you probably know Grace and Naomi's team won the Grand Finals.

Our played pretty good, after you didn't start to good it was like 2/9 that is very bad.

But in the end we had about 113 runs with only 3 out in 20 overs.

The other team started off with a good start but we got some of the batsman out and the run rate went down fairly far.

But any way they won by about 3 runs and a over, only one over. 

Sorry I didn't post for a long time.

Cricket

As some of you would already know that I'm playing cricket again this year.

I'm playing in 14/U's again this year.

In the same club.

There are not very many players that played last year playing this year.

We played about 5 games, but heaps of games got washed out.

Our team is going pretty good, we've won every game until last week, which we went so bad on.
When we balled, in the first 5 overs, we had 4 out for 9 runs which is heaps good. But they made 150 runs in the end. (Which means we played very bad)
And the next week when we batted, we only made about 87 runs with all out. I batted and only faced 3 balls, and my other team mate got out. So I got 0 runs not out.

The finals are soon, we are second on the larder by 0.2 of a point.
And next week we hope that Grace and Naomi's team wins if we come first for the year, so we verse the worst team by far in the finals.

I hope we verse Grace and Naomi's team in the Grand Finals.

So sorry I didn't post for a while.

New Background

I have a new background.

Rangers Apprentice

I've started to read the Rangers Apprentice books again.

I'm up to the fourth book now.

I recommend that if you haven't read them before, you should.

Voyage Of The Dawn Treader

Last Friday we went to the movies, to watch The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader 3D!!

It was the first time I ever watched a 3D movie.

It was so awesome.

And it was a bit different then the book I'm sure.

I think it was heaps better than the other 2 Narnia movies.

Funny Stories

Here are some funny stories that I picked up from a Camp that I went to last week.

Here they are:

Party

One Saturday night at a guy’s home, there was a really big party there were more than 50 people there. 
Around midnight the owner of the property said “I’ll give one million dollars to whoever jumps into the pool with the crocodile in it and wrestle it, and come back out of the pool alive” when he was still saying this he heard a splash. 
When he turned around there was a guy in the pool wrestling for his life, it was so cool. 
The crowd was cheering for him, finally the guy came out still in one piece, it was so amazing that the guy beat the crocodile. 

The owner came up to the guy and said “I’ll keep to my word and give you the million” 

“I don’t want it” said the guy the owner said “I will give you half a million then”  

“I don’t want any money” 

“Then what do you want” 
"I want the drop kick that pushed me in"

 

The Very Bad Conductor

There was once a very bad bus conductor. This conductor was so bad at doing his job that people missed their stations, he brought the wrong tickets for people, and those people got lost and cranky at the conductor. Any way one day this man missed his station so he jumped out the window, and got ran over by the buses rear wheel. 

Now the conductor was in trouble, they took him away to jail and he was sentenced to get the electric chair. 

They asked him if he wanted any last thing, he said “I wouldn’t mind a Bosc Pear” so they went looking for this pear, they finally found this Bosc Pear. They gave it to the bad conductor that was in the electric chair, after he ate it they turned the power on but the conductor just sat they not even yelling. 

After they stopped it he was still alive, they got the chair checked by the best electrician in Australia.

After he checked it and said, it was fine now. They strapped the conductor back into it and asked him if he wanted any last things before he died, he said “I wouldn’t mind another one of those Bosc Pears, so they went and got another one of this pear. 

After he ate it, they strapped him in and started it up, still the conductor didn’t die, this was so weird. They asked him “Does this Bosc Pear give people life” the conductor said “No I just like those Pears, I didn’t die because I’m a bad conductor”.

There are the stories.

Hope you like them.

Wednesday Photo

It is Wednesday Photo day today

Grace is the judge for this week, so look at her blog for the rules if you want to join.

Here is my photo:

A Beautiful Butterfly

every single process of installing a pool

Last week the pool people came and started to dig

Removing the grass 

 Hit sand-stone, lots of it

 

Big problem

Their little jack-hammer could not get through the sand-stone

See there is still lot's of sand-stone, and it's still not deep enough

 

So we called in a massive excavator with a jack-hammer to remove the sand-stone

Here it is with the sand-stone removed enough for the pool to go in  

Most of the dirt that came out of the hole 

All of the sand-stone that came out of the hole

Removing a little bit of sand-stone with their hand jack-hammer 

Putting a nice bed for the pool to rest on

The bed levelled out

Now the most exciting part, putting the pool in

Lifting the pool off the ground

Nearly there

Lowering it in the hole

Finally it's in

Making sure it's level

Installing the lights

Putting water in her

With the water in her and all the back-filling is done (back-filling is when they put sand all around the outside of the pool)

Now they just have to cement it, put paver's on the top of the pool and install the pump.
