In Santa's defence

In Santa’s Defence...

In Santa’s defence Katies list did say ‘velociraptor’ not a ‘toy velociraptor’. He made sure it would only grow to the same size as Katie, I guess that wasn’t good enough or something? The news is going crazy about the fact that Santa gave a child a velociraptor but I mean he can’t just decline the offer or anything his job is to give the kids what they want. The parents are maddd, well one of them is. I can imagine the other one is either proud that his cause of death was ‘eaten by a velociraptor’ or furious that he was killed by what everyone thought was an extinct creature . It’s pretty crazy what Santa can do, hopefully this is a reminder to all kids to not put dinosaurs on their wish list. 

Life after technology

Day 57 with no power:

Its cold and there isn’t much fresh food left, all phones have officially died and they are still trying to get power back on. I personally just think they are wasting their time, all the towers are out and they need other technology to get it back up. I’m loving the quiet up on my hill. I can always see the children playing, it's so good to see them making the best out of the situation and still having fun. I want to go and donate my old soccer gear but I don’t know if it will fit any of them, now that there is no reliable food source everyone is looking a bit slim. It’s funny really, you take away everyone's fast food and tv, they all suddenly drop 50 pounds.

The group of explorers brought back some good news yesterday, they found a new block of shops in the north side that haven’t been fully raided so they have taken a team over there to collect everything up. They still haven’t gone far enough to reach another town to see if they want to trade. Hopefully one day a new lot of people will come, with more food and cleaner water.

My solo performance

What instrument did I play and why? I sung because I really like singing.
What song did I choose and why? I sung Fly me to the moon by Frank Sinatra. I sung that song because my sister really likes it and she suggested it.
Was I happy with my performance? yeah I am pretty happy with it.
If I had to do it again what would I change? Maybe not be so freaked out because it affected my voice.
