Fame

In my spare time, there is nothing I like better than to surf the internet. I was pleasantly surprised when I searched, ‘toy cow‘ into the Google Image search, and whilst scrolling through images, I saw myself! 🙂 That made me very happy.

I know that the order of the images that appear will vary on different devices, but I also went on other computers and iPods, and there I was. There was only the one picture fairly near the top, but y’know, it’s a start, and I’m actually quite proud of it.

PROOF:

There I am, right at the bottom of this picture (I’ve put a box around it to make it clearer).

Isn’t that thrilling!?!

The Now Show recordings

Before I went away to Turkey (the day before I left) I was luckily enough to come along to see The Now Show being recorded at RADA Studios, London. It’s becoming quite a regular thing, going to BBC Radio recordings!

This Recording was for Series 39, Show 7

I was accompanied by some older people (I’m not old enough to go in on my own) and I queued by the door for quite a long time so that I was one of the first people in the room and could therefore get a good seat. I sat right at the front.

Look, there I am, waiting for it to start and getting all excited. 😀

I took a few pictures during the recording. The one above is of Hugh Dennis and Marcus Brigstocke.

I’m also quite proud of this picture, because my camera wasn’t focusing very well, but I think this one turned out ok.

This is Mitch Benn, playing the guitar and singing 🙂

Hugh Dennis and Steve Punt

Laura Shavin, Jon Holmes and Hugh Dennis.

Although I didn’t get any pictures with them (and I really wish I’d asked whilst I was there) I did get some autographs, which is rather cool.

As I hung around at the end whilst it was being cleared up, I was given Mitch Benn’s script by someone who was working there. Well, it wasn’t me exactly who got it, because technically it was a friend of mine, as I was too small to be noticed, but I share it with them.

I’d originally been given Marcus Brigstocke’s script, but gave it to a mate of mine who likes Marcus Brigstocke. I’m so kind. Also, someone else from our group got Hugh Dennis’ script. How lucky!

Well, I can conclude that that was a brilliant day. BRILLIANT!

Edible

People often tell me how delicious Haribos are, and I have to simply take their word for it, because I am a vegetarian and therefore cannot eat sweets containing gelatine. However, in London a few weeks ago, I found some delicious vegetarian (and some even vegan) sweets similar to Haribos, and bought them.

They are shaped like cola bottles, dinosaurs, bears and snakes. And no animals are used in the making of these sweets. How cool!?!  know that other places do vegetarian sweets like these, but these are so cool! I was going to take a picture of me eating them once they were outside of the bag, but I accidentally ate them all (yes, all four packets) 🙂

And they’re also cool because they’re organic. Oh, how I love organic products! I gave someone who likes Haribos one to try, and they said that these are really nice and just like Haribos. So I’ve come to the conclusion that if I ate meat, I’d like Haribos.

More sweets are becoming vegetarian nowadays. Even some Haribos are. I’ll have to try some of them at some point. 😀

Sorry I haven’t blogged in ages. I’m gonna start blogging again for a bit. I just came back from a trip to Turkey, so will do some blog posts about that at some point. I also want to write about MI High. MI High is cool.

Bye, Cowie

The long climb

In Spain, I came across a very tall metal pole. I chose to climb it, to see what was at the top.

So I climbed…

And climbed…

And climbed…

And eventually reached the top, to find… a cow!

After watching it for a bit, it offered to give me a ride.

So I jumped on its back

And then we rode away!

Fishbourne Roman Palace

Looking through some photos, I found some from when I went to Fishbourne Roman Palace, with school. It was a nice place, so I will write about what I did.

Sitting down

Before we began looking around, we played a look at the object and guess where it came from type game. It was quite fun, although I was hopeless at it.

Playing

The game was fun, and I got to play about with the various pieces of broken pots.

Kitchen

Recreated was a Roman Kitchen. We learnt about what Roman houses were like.

Mosaics

Beautiful mosaics covered the floor, each so precise and very well made.

Skeleton

Some members of my class held me, against my will, over the edge of the barrier to take a photograph. Although it was uncomfortable at the time, I do quite like this picture. 🙂

Block house

Part way through the day, I made myself a house of wooden blocks. I fitted inside perfectly!

Fishbourne Roman Palace was cool, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Business Cards

A friend of mine, one of the coolest people I know, offered to make me some business cards to promote my blog (Of course I accepted her offer). Here is a picture of them (cool, eh?)

YAY! The view counter has now reached 2,000 views, on lifeofcowie! 😀 I’m so happy.

Thank you very much

Just a quick note of thanks to my ever supporting English teacher who summed this blog up for me as ‘crap’.
~ VlarVlar, PenPal

Made me laugh. The same English teacher had called my blog “crap” at the same time. How lovely. It really is much appreciated.

Happy Birthday Dobby!

Happy Birthday Dobby. I feel that it is only fair to show some appreciation towards you on this fine day. You have truly been a great rolemodel and have “reminded us that loyalty, courage and friendship are the best gifts of all”. 🙂

Cheers
Cowie 🙂

Dobby

– A great character, whose death brought tears to my eyes.

Such a beautiful place to be with friends. Dobby is happy to be with his friend, Harry Potter.
