Wom's Space Adventure

It is every young wombats dream to go into space. Today Wom fulfilled his childhood dream.

Before he could go into space Wom needed to meet certain physical requirements. He trained for weeks on his running machine.
Next, to simulate the sort of forces he would experience he spent some time in the G force simulator. Afterwards he felt very dizzy.
Wom passed all the tests and became an astronaut. Launch day soon arrived and the clock was set at T- 60 seconds. 3...2...1...BLAST OFF and with a jet of flame Wom was on his way to space.
Space was HUGE and Wom could not believe his eyes. He could see all kinds of planets and even a moon.
The pink planet looked the most appealing so he set a course, 'Engage' he thought to himself, though he did not know why. As Wom journeyed the many light years to the planet he was glad he had his space helmet to supply oxygen.
As Wom landed on the pink planet he was greeted by a strange cubic lifeform. 'All visitors must wear the customary pink hat' the cube said. Wom accepted the hat and wore it with pride.
Wom decided to explore the planet and he came across many cubes and even a red and white cubeling. The young cube said Wom should meet the chief cube who was cloured blue and orange. Wom jorneyed the pink plains, hills and forests and finally came to where the chief cube lived. 'Ah, a new visitor, good good, welcome to our planet.' said chief cube. Wom spent all week on the pink planet enjoying many luxuries including the planets specialty,battenburg cake.

Wom missed home and so it was almost time to leave. As Wom was making his preperations to leave a cube waddled over to him saying 'I don't know where my home is, I'm all muddled up'. Wom felt sorry for the cube and helped the cube find his way home.
When Wom got home he was greeted by all his friends. They were all intrigued by his new hat and wanted one. Wom had started a craze. Wom missed the pink planet but one day he might return.
THE END

The calm before the storm?

I am performing every night next week in an operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan; The Mikado.
I am really looking forward to getting on stage and performing it for real, especially as I have got a little fed up of rehearsals!! I know it will wear me out and I will be exhausted all week, but I reckon I'll be running on adrenaline so it will be ok. Plus it's the end of term after that so I can go collapse in a ball at home afterwards.
But right now, I don't exactly know what to do with myself. I've done all the work that's due in next week and the rest of the stuff which is for after Easter seems to be beyond my brain power at the moment. I'm sure there are many things I need to buy/do before I start performing on monday, but I have forgoten them currently. I'm tired but dont think bed is a good idea as then I'll never sleep tonight. Most of my housemates are hard at work on essays etc. so I shouldn't disturb them.

So all in all I feel like I'm in some sort of limbo, biding my time waiting for it all to kick off tomorrow afternoon with the dress rehearsal, but not really knowing how to prepare myself for it all!!!
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks

Wom's Grand Day Out

Due to popular demand, Wom is back!
Wom had a day free in his diary and so he pencilled in a day of fun activities.
Wom started the day early and went for a walk in the park. It had lots of beautiful flowers,trees and a clear blue pond. Wom made a freind with a gnome fishing for bears. Wom thought this was strange so he moved on, singing to himself 'Wom-Wom-Wom'.
Wom always had a love for animals so he went to the zoo. There he found a vast number of animals: lions, giraffes, pandas and a monkey which had a sign on its cage 'Do not feed the monkey!'. Wom decided to obey the sign and not share his cheesy nibbles.
After a yummy lunch he decided to try some sporting activity. This was Woms first time skiing, he was a bit scared but his fears faded when he was given some purple (his favorite colour) ski poles. Wom skiied all afternoon and all that exercise made Wom very hungry. It was almost time for his dinner reservation.
Wom had lasagne for his dinner and decided to treat himself to a yummy chocloate pudding. He saved the chocolates until last.
For the evening Wom ogranised a game evening with his friends. They played snakes and ladders, cluedo and poker. Wom was very good at poker beacause he had a very good poker face. Wom had a very good hand, a straight, and won lots of pennies.

Wom was now very tired and it was time for Mummy Wom to tuck him in for the night. He dreamt of the lovely day he had.



P.S
The next day Wom started a staring contest with a random rabbit. My sources tell me that they are still at it.

Edited to add that the rabbit is called Marp and is very friendly!!

My Debbie bear...

......is coming home yayayay.
and I get to see her this weekend as long as she isn't too dead from jetlag!!!
I'm so excited, I cant wait!!!!!
Hopefully some interesting stories to follow soon.

A trip down to the quay.

Yesterday, two of my housemates, barney and I took a trip down to Exeter quay in the glorious sunshine.
Here are a few pics to show you what we got up to, if i can get it to work!!

This was on the way down the high street. I thought it was fun!
This one is actually at the quay, a nice view of St Leonard's spire.


Here are two of my beautiful housemates who have just finished a coffee and chocolate fudge cake.


Here's the remains of my yummy chocolate fudge cake. As you can see, a well scraped bowl as it was delisc!!!


And here are some pretty flowers which were on the table. I seem to have a love of pictures of pretty flowers at the moment so I hope you enjoy.After fudge cake (or coffee for the vegans amongst us!!) we headed back home happy and full of yummyness!!!

Almost the end of my birthday.

It's been a brilliant day and I promise to blog more about it very soon, maybe even with a few pictures, though i didn't take many.
More soon, I promise.
Thanks to all who made it such a fun day!!!

Wom : A life

Our story starts with Wom. He is a wombat.

It was Wom's first day of school
Mummy Wom: It is almost time for school, have you done your teeth?
Wom: Yes mummyThe term flew by and as December approached the weather got colder and colder so Mummy Wom bought Wom a really well knitted,warm scarf.
Wom made loads of friends at school and he invited them round for Christmas. He had a yummy Christmas dinner cooked by Mummy Wom and enjoyed opening all his presents.He especially like his chocolate reindeer.The new year brought chilling winds and heavy rain.Poor Wom caught a cold.
Wom decided to join the technical age and bought himself a mobile phone.Now he can talk to his friends.
The years flew by and now it was time for Wom to go to university.He wanted to study maths because it was the best subject and he really enjoyed it.He took his exams and all he could do was wait for results day.
Results day finally came and he was very please with his first class honours degree. The whole Wom family came to see him at his graduation.
