My First Guitar
Before Christmas I was learning how to play the guitar with Wendy and the rest of the SAD group (you know who you are - you SAD people). Then I thought to myself...what a wonderful world...no forget that...what I really thought was - I needed a guitar so I could practice at home and so there would be enough guitars for everyone.
So I was looking through a catalogue to see what I could get for Christmas for my Nan and I saw it...the guitar I wanted. But it was sold out. I was really disappointed.
Christmas came and still no guitar.
A couple of days after Christmas a big box came. I thought to myself: Whats that? My mum opened it and there was another triangular box inside, then I knew what it was. She surprised me with a new, even better guitar than I had seen in the catalogue. Then I started practising.
I can play the chords A, D & E but I still need to practice changing chords and strumming. The SAD group is practicing as well. The only funny problem I have when I play is that my dog is afraid of the guitar and he runs off and hides. Maybe I need to practice some more...or is it just the sound and not my playing? I think its the sound. What do you think?

Finally finished Chickenfeed
On the 17th of November I got the book out of Tower Hamlets College library. I was a bit nervous because I thought I couldn't read long books. Then someone introduced me to Quick Reads and I chose Chicken feed because I read the blurb at the back of the book and I found it more interesting than the rest. I started to read a book beause I wanted to learn more.
Chicken feed was the NO.1 bestseller from Minette Walters. It is based on a true story of the' chicken farm murder', which took place at Blackness, Crowborough, East Sussex in December 1924.
I read ChickenFeed with Roz, we took turns reading and I read some in my own time. I liked working on the book because some of the book was mysterious. We didn't know what was going to happen next. We tried to work out what was going to happen and 'whodunnit'.
We finished the book on 16th of January. It was a good book' if you would like to read it you can borrow it from club.
Now we are starting on a new book, The Grey Man.
Thanks Roz

MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Today I went to Canary Wharf to keep my New Year's Resolution, to give blood. But there was a little problem - there was supposed to be a group of us but everyone couldn't, even me and I was there. Thomas could have given blood but he was too young (not 17 yet) and Roz and myself weren't able to do it because they don't allow ill people even when they are the right age.
So the 26th is going to be Part 2. All welcome to give blood if you're 17 or over and healthy (sorry Thomas). Its at Canary Wharf until 4pm on the 26th of January 2007. Why don't you make a difference and come and save a life!
