Lambing Time

Yesterday i helped on my friends farm for16(ish) hours altogether. I fed the lambs which are sssoooo cool but sadly i saw some dead ones but it was inevitable that i would. The hardest part of the whole of working there is geting the herd(s) of sheep from the field in to the pen to get their medicine. My job was to make sure they kept the same track and didn't wander away from the group or go into another field.That was really hard!

The most icky bit was when we had to scrape out the cow shed. You can guess what I had to scrape out.

Feeding the lambs was really hard. I thought it was going to be easy but some would not feed so we had to tube them. I didn't do that. Altogether it was a really hard day but fun.

Scuba Diving (yeah)!

On Sunday I’m going scuba diving in Tynemouth(bbbrrrrr).My dad and I are doing the Dry suit course at the Blue water Scuba diving centre. I started Scuba diving in Corfu and Skiathos(Greece) but I started taking Diving seriously in Menorca (Spain). I first got a bubble maker award which is like a try-dive for beginners. Then I got a PADI Open Water Diver Award! That was really hard. To do that I had to swim 200 meter swim at my leisure and a 10 minute float on the surface. This is just enough to determine that I have the basic swimming abilities. THEN I had to get perfect buoyancy which was kinda easy but to my parents it was really hard (pphhhh amateurs).

The bit I hated the most was the bit where I had to take off my mask underwater, then swim for 10m, put it back on and clear it!
I also had to take out my reg. and put it back in underwater and remove and replace my equipment underwater. I did that with broken and sprained fingers!
