Back In Hull
I've just got back into Hull from Ripon after a great weekend. Have decided that tonight I'm going to kick back and relax, making it a whole weekend of doing not a lot. I went home on Friday afternoon for my sister Kara's 8th birthday (Yikes). So I made it back into Ripon in time to surprise her and pick her up from school. She liked that very much. She's being missing me a lot recently so I'm told. Which is nice. So when we got home we mungled about a bit, Kara showed me what she'd made for me whilst I was away, being the very sweet girl she is. So just before she went to her dads for the weekend we let her open the present me and Claire got her. We got her a 3 game sin one, chess, checkers and backgammon set so she can practice her chess (she very clever indeed). So once she'd gone to her dads, me and Steve, my mums partner went and played badminton, and had a great time. And in a traditional manner, here are the scores… 1st game - Me 21-16 Steve
2nd game - Me 21-6 Steve 3rd game - Me 21-18 Steve
Ouch, he won't like the see them scores again…Oh how I love badminton!! So on Saturday I went to see my dad who got out of hospital on Friday from having an operation on his stomach. He's not the biggest fan of soups at the minute and I fear his dislike for them might increase over the coming months. Might have to make him a nice soup and take it over 
I hope you're on solids ASAP dad! Once I'd got back from my unfortunately brief trip to see my Dad and Karen (His partner (you keeping up with partners this far? good)) me and Claire (my partner, lol) went to the Hong Kong Chinese restaurant in Ripon, our favorite. We had an excellent meal and then wondered home and watched some films with Mum and Steve. So this morning me and Claire played backgammon and me and my Mum played chess (which I'm sure she won't mind me saying I won at), although she went a bit soft on me for a couple of moves, lol. So after that me and Claire went to her house and then to McArther Glen designer outlet in York to get me some trainers. We both bought a couple of little pieces for the Halloween party were going to next Saturday and Claire bought me some food books on China, Italy and India. So I've just got back and am going to watch some TV or play some computer games… bye!
