Action continues and thank heavens they were tired afterthe disco last night and so went to sleep nearly and slept. As usual there was a lot of primping, preening and parading prior to the disco. The hairdressing salon was resurrected. Katie, Gemma and Lauren availed themselves of our services: Katie was distinctly underwhelmed by my talents... I suspect I wasn't very skilful or sympathetic untangling knots in very long hair. In my defence I don't get a lot of practice. Tyler C needed his 'bling' expertly repaired by Mr. Fyfe's teeth! Alex a.k.a. the Vampire, is now regarded in a new light having leapt off stage during the disco, landing on Bradley, leaving a couple of small tooth marks in his forehead. Don't worry Mrs Ford his good looks are still undamaged!!!
Severalgroups have now done caving, unfortunately, with all the rain the floor of the main room is under 6" of water...cold, muddy water.Niamh, Jess and Emily H all conquered fears of claustrophobia and were rewarded with an enactment of how soldiers would have slept in the cave in World War II. They would have had to sleep back to back, a light sleeper paired with a heavy one, and when the attack sounded the light sleepers would leap up, leaving the heavy sleepers ie. Mrs B and Sam flat on their backs in ... cold, muddy water! Lewis and Finn have shown themselves to be Mastermind experts, their specialist subjects being World War II military tactics and Victorian mining. Rachel was dared by her group leader to lie back in the water, which she did, and then was double dared to roll onto her front. She was a right sight after that. Talking of sights Thomas U's hair was like a bird's nest first thing this morning andf then like spaghetti this afternoon after a heavy rain shower. Mason continues to maintain his impeccable hairstyle whatever the weather.
Rachel's other classic moment came after she'd climbed to the top of the tower. As she abseiled down, she lost her footing, ended up dangling upside down and then did a 360 to right herself!
Maddie, Katie, Ruby and Emilee got rid of some latent aggression in fencing as they took great delight in slapping their opponent's around the head masks with their gauntlets to challenge them. However, they were pretty pathetic when they first started fighting (Ruby apologising to her opponent for hitting her!), the boys, needless to say, showed no such inhibitions.
Mrs C has just come in to tell us her group were just asked to tell the leader if they has worn helmets before they all said yes and when asked wher chorused,"On our heads!"
