Going, going, gone...

Yes, as you probably know the holidays are over and back to school and work we go, writing this makes me feel quite unhappy, though I'm sure many of you are enjoying being back at work...
but I am part of that 70% of people who aren't happy to be back.

Time flies through the holidays but i did manage to enjoy myself. I got to see the Hunger Games movie with a friend :) Good movie, but I'd rate it a 4/5. It's got that thrill that makes you wanna know what happens next and has you at the edge of your seat or at times your heart is pounding from excitement then the next moment you feel heartbroken and sad.

At times when I got to bored, I went over to spend quality time with Grandma and we ended up doing some painting. Lately many different birds have been sitting on Grandma's fence chirping loudly so Gramps decided to give them some food. First he gave them some bread but they refused, so he got some spare mince out of the fridge and chucked pieces at them. They gobbled them down in one go. Some days later Grandma goes of to the bookstore to get a bird book on all the different breeds. So she sat me down and we had a flick through the book looking at all the birds and their fascinating colours.

We discovered one of the birds that hang on the fence was called a Sprangled Drongo. Sounds more like a bongo if you ask me but anyway I sat down that afternoon and painted some birds I found in the book and the result of them are shown below:

Red-Capped Parrot

Scarlet Honey-eater

Cockatiel

 

Well that's mostly my holiday, what did you get up to? Comment Below! I would love to hear your great tales and adventures :)
