Walk Like an Egyptian

A Bangles video clip.

Recently we have been listening to some records which Fr. Benedict gave us and one of those records was a bangles one greg really liked this song when he was little and he knew the song and the music video.

Some other Bangles songs that I like are manic monday and eternal flame.
Mum has the eternal flame music video on her blog and Alexander has manic monday. Another good music video is for the Bananarama song Love in the First Degree - it is the dorkiest music video ever with strange dance moves. Anthony has that music video on his blog

Rifle Shooting


Last Friday we went rifle shooting with homeschool teen group. It was at an indoor shooting range in St Mary's.

We were using Swiss made .22 rifles. The rifles were magazine fed but they could also be breech loaded and each rifle had a sniper scope attached. The guns were set up with stands on benches to make it easier and safer.

Before we started shooting we were all led into a conference room where a man explained how the guns worked and ran through the safety measures of using the guns.

Afterwards we were given earmuffs for safety for our ears and then divided into 3 groups. Each group went in one by one and every body was given five bullets.

Then, using the scope, we aimed at the targets in front of us and fired. I almost got a bullseye ( but not quite) .

After everybody used up their five bullets that group went out of the firing range and the next group came in .

We had another round at the end.

Update


My arm is getting much better.

I am going to see the surgeon on Tuesday and afterwards we are all going to Canberra for 3 days.

I am getting so much better that I am able to do most things - for example this week we went to Group Learning and we made some cheese. We also went ice skating and I was okay but my arm started to get sore from the cold.

Here is a photo from the Python Show that we went to - the day before the bike accident! This python is from Thailand and weighs 65 kg ( about 140 pounds).
