Poodle. Love, Bill.

This is something I can't believe I forgot to put in! .. Alex, remember that first day we were trying to both sit on the lilo?
Well, my Dad decided to help us. And Alex sat on the lilo but she was too close to the middle for me to have enough room to get on, and she had plenty room behind her. So my Dad said she should move back a bit..
She shuffled so far back she pushed herself right off the end. When she returned from underwater, my Dad said: "I didn't mean that far back!"
Good times.. I miss you Toots.
This is for Alex Adie.. And I really hope she reads it!
I met Alex a few weeks ago, in Kalamaki. Making friends on holiday is so much more difficult when you're a teenager, and I was very nervous. Our parents swapped the occasional comment to each other about the entertainment or the pool or something, then it was Greek Night and our tables were close. When the adults were slow dancing, I got up and made a joke about not wanting to see your parents dancing like that. (Seriously, they were touching each others bums and that.. Not nice!) Alex, like many people, refused to believe me when I told her I was fourteen. She couldn't get over the fact that I was younger than her. And I wont lie, I thought she was about my age.. But she's a year or so older.

We spent a lot of time in the pool together and in the evenings we'd use a countless amount of Euros on the computers, and we made some new friends. We went out for a cocktail one evening, and we did a lot of Karaoke after being put up unwillingly by her step-mum Pauline and my Mum. We watched the football together.. Me being half Spanish, wanted Spain to win. But I felt a little outnumbered surrounded by Scottish people supporting Holland and laughing at my accent. But it's all banter, hey?

I eventually realised that Alex said Bill like Bell, and I found this hillarious! She is now my Poodle as I love the way she says that! And I'm Bill.

So the point of this anyway, is for me to say thank you to Alex. Because without her my holiday wouldn't be the same. I really really miss this girl and last night we were talking about the holiday and it was very sad. I thought you should all know about a very good friendship I made. Despite being extremely nervous about taking the first step towards it. So all of you on your Summer Holidays, don't be shy.. It pays to be outgoing. :)

Remember though, Poodle, I did promise I'd see you again before I was in an Old People's Home! ;)

And here's us just being jolly :)

55 weeks, 4 days!

Well hello! I have ONE person who's reading this, but I'm hoping to get more very soon :) I thought I would post here that today my parents and me booked next year's trip to Kalamaki. I am so very excited, as there are only 55 weeks and 4 days to go. Everybody in Thomas Cook found it hilliarious that I said this. We'll leave on my friend Alice's birthday, the 22nd of August, and 2 days later, I shall become 16. Happy times or what? Meal in my favourite restaurant, all my favourite views, and a few very special people close to me. A quiet (maybe) yet very exciting, memorable sixteenth! I'll celebrate with my fam fam beforehand.
I will have just finished my GCSEs and definitely deserve a treat, no? We'll see how hard I work, hey? ;)
I've never been abroad just for a week, and only going for a week is going to feel really weird. I'm gutted it's not longer but we may be out there for a friend's wedding, also. So good times. Dad really wanted a week and so he dragged himself round Sainsbury's like a moody little child. But a week's better than a kick up the ass in England, right? Plus, Dad.. Think of all the extra beer you can have, hey ;) Mmm, cocktails!
I'm so desperately excited!
55 weeks, 4 days, the countdown begins!
:D

(First Post.) The day of the new computer...

Well, isn't this fantastic! Recently, our good friend Lenny (the family laptop) sadly passed away. My parents have been on many PC shopping trips, and Mum's searched what must feel like the whole WWW trying to find a new PC for us - With very little luck. After being miss sold a computer by Tesco, we were unable to buy another as the refund hadn't gone through, so our kind neighbours lent us an old computer. After hours of problems with it, it worked - For about half an our. Now we're using their tower and our very old, blurry monitor. We've now ordered another, and here I am. The computer could arrive any time between 7am and 7pm.. How helpful! So not only did I have to get up early, I also have to stay in all day - An eye-stinging computer being my main entertainment. Now, the weather's not brilliant, considering it's "summer", but I wouldn't mind being able to venture out of the house and do something.. Anything!
So here's where my blog starts. You can keep track of my boring day-to-day life throughout a not-so-busy summer holidays, and I can rant to the world as a way of curing my boredom.
Keep visiting, I'll aim to update every day.. And hopefully with something more interesting to say than I do this afternoon!
And happy holidays!
