Mermaids

Ever since watching The Little Mermaid a few weeks ago, I've had a fantasy about mermaids, and whether they really exist.
The Mermaid is a legendary aquatic creature with the head and torso of a female and the tail of a fish.
Mermaids would sometimes sing to sailors and distract them until they eventually walk off deck or cause shipwrecks.
In some cases it is said that they drown the men while trying to rescue them. They are also said to take them down to their underwater kingdoms.

Holidays

Hello Everyone!
It' been a long time since I've added a new post.
Anyway, I hope your holidays are going fine, mine are going ok.
I've been pet-sitting a guinea pig and labouring over my Ancient Egyptian Inquiry to make it look nice. I've also been pondering over a topic for my speech.
Oh and I've got a really bad Hayfever
Um, and that's about it...
... Yeah

So are the holidays treating you?

Tarot Cards

Yes, some of you might not believe in horoscopes, but while I was searching for the Flash Mind Reader Mr Cooper showed us, I found this cool as website. It's just like the Glass Orb one except it has something to do with Tarot Cards and supposedly tells your future. I suggest you try it!!

Inter-Intermediate Gymnastics

On Tuesday, I Mscandy and Funniebunnies went to the Hamilton Inter-intermediate Gymnastics competition.
We had great fun doing our routines on each apparatus (beam, floor and vault).
I got a 7.0 for my vault, a 7.8 for my floor and a 9.4 for my beam.
Unfortunately, the Peachgrove team came sixth, which is not too bad.
The only person who won a placing out of the nine of us was Stacy, who went to the world-wide gymnastics competition just before we had the competition here.
If you would like to consider gymnastics as a sport, you can join next year.
gymnastics is a sport of agility and strength. It is also heap and Heaps of fun!!!
The pictures above are of Nadia Comaneci.
She is the first female gymnast to get perfect scores for all her apparatuses.
The first photo was taken with her performing on the beam. The second is one of her performing on the bars.
