My new guitar

On Friday i got a new guitar! It is a Gibson Les Paul copy which means it is a very special electric guitar!! I also got an amplifier to plug it into! I really like it and my favorite song to play on it is Down On The Corner by Credence Clearwater Revival ! In a couple of days some guitar polish will arrive so that i can keep my guitar nice and clean!! I think this is the best present i have ever got!!!!!!

Here is a picture of me with my guitar.


Here is a picture of the guitar on its own.

My dads birthday

Yesterday it was my dads birthday and he is now 34! In the morning we woke him up with Belgian waffles , tea and presents. My dads presents were : chocolates , a bell for ordering tea , a small packet of bath gel , a power drill , lots of t-shirts, a pocket book about football , a new pillow and pillowcase. My dad liked all of his presents equally. Instead of one big meal we had an all-day buffet which was made of ciabatta(which is nice dipped in salsa) , sausage rolls (which have a tasty quorn filling) , chicken style dippers, dip, crisps , sandwiches , biscuits ,pineapple, profiteroles.
We also watched a film called The Forbidden Kingdom. It is about a magic staff that needs to be returned to its rightful owner. After that was the football and the matches were Greece vs Spain and Russia vs Sweden. We watched Greece vs Spain and the full time result was Greece 1 Spain 2. I had a good day as did dad.

Kung Fu Panda

Yesterday we watched Kung Fu Panda ! The main character Po ,who is a panda, dreams of being a kung fu master. But when he is picked as the dragon warrior he thinks he is not
the panda for the job especially when Tai Lung ,evil snow leopard, escapes from a high-security prison... .I thought this was a good film and it was also very funny !!
My favorite character was Mantis as he shows that size doesn't matter.
My favorite bit was the fight between Tai Lung and Po!!!!

Spore Creature Creator

A couple of days ago we got the spore creature creator! As it is only a demo you only get a handful of all the parts that are available in the full game. That doesn't mean you can't make good creatures , as i made a creature that had ears on its back and fly-type eyes in its mouth(Yuck!). There are pictures of all of them below.

The Monkbee


The Dragon Fly


The Jawdosaurus


The Pterosaur Extreme


The Spikesnout


The Twilight Clubtail

On Friday i went to cub camp (which was two nights)!!! There was lots of activitys including a massive climbing wall (which i didn't try and is pictured at the end of the post) and a cave walk (the cave is limestone embedded into a granite cliff). There is a picture of the campsite at the end of the post. About fifteen minutes after we got there we went wood gathering at a place that was hard to get to as the way there involved walking up a really steep hill. The next day was cold and extremely windy.In the morning of that day there was blindfold mazes and spear making. In the afternoon there was the cave walk which i thoroughly enjoyed. Yesterday was just as cold but
i was going to go home at lunchtime!! All in all i had a great time and the pictures are below!

A couple of days ago we went for a walk along the mossdale railway line. On the way there we saw three adders , all alive.Unfortunately we couldn't get a picture of the biggest one . We also saw some butterwort ,which is a carnivorous plant , and a moth that eats ragwort, which we couldn't get a picture of.When we got to our destination ,Loch Skerrow, we found a ruined refill station for steam trains . There will be pictures of all of these beneath.









I had a great day !!!!!!!!

On Wednesday it was the cubs promise night!! For doing the cubs promise you get a membership badge ,a Scotland country badge ,a Stewartry area badge , a glenkens patrol badge and a Galloway area badge. The words of the promise ,if you are wondering,are written below.

I promise to do my best
To do my duty to God and the Queen
To help other people
And keep the cub scout law

The cub scout law is :

A cub scout always does his best
Thinks of others before himself
And does a good turn every day

That night was also the night you had to bring in your camp form.
I had a good time!!!
