I don't know what I came in the final because it was timed and our whole school did really well and most people got a place in there heats. It was really hot and I nearly got sun burn. When I got home cullen came to our place and Dad was dagging the lambs for shearing them.

__**20.10.08**__ In the weekend on Sunday Dad took Rupert, Flora and I for a motorbike ride in speedys [paddock] for a motorbike ride and it was really fun because we made a track and I was better than Rupert and Dad kept on putting pressure on me by coming up really close to me and passing me on the corners and he tried to come on the inside of the corner so I went in there and Dad hit me. Flora was the starter and Rupert got a m5 second head start then I went And after 5 seconds Dad went and Dad stualed and I passed Rupert really easy because he let me passed and Dad didn’t pass until we got to the straight to the finish line. I tried to make a rut on the first corner but it is on the wrong angle which is really annoying so I am going to fill it in with dirt tonight after school and go for another ride on the track.

__**17.10.08**__ and it was really fun. Then we went to Mac Donald's for lunch and I had fries and chicken and bacon deluxe and it was really yummy and I had a banana and berry smoothie and it was really nice.

The next day we went to town for our docking shout. We went to the swimming pools for 1 hour and a half and it was fun because we were doing bombs...

__**26.9.08**__ Tomorrow it is going to be the holidays and I am going to help Dad dock the lambs at the back of the farm and tonight we are going to muster all the ewes and lambs to a different paddock so it is easier to get them into the yards. I reckon there will be about 300 hundred lambs and it will probably take about 2 hours it will be really fun and it will be the first mob for this years docking and my cousin Jack is coming to stay.

__**13.5.08**__ In the weekend I played rugby at Masterton, we played Red Star. I got a run away but I got tackled by their Fullback. He is really tall and fast. I saved a Try in the last minute and if they scored it they would have won but they didn’t. The score was 15 – 12. On the other side of the Road was my sister Margot and she was playing netball and she has become the captain. She lost her first game in the morning and won in the afternoon. On the way home we went to Mitre 10 and brought a duck caller and then we went to Pain and Kershaw to buy Mum a mother’s day present and I got her coffee.

__**5.5.08**__ On Friday Mum, Margot, Flora and I went to Wellington to stay at our aunties house. Before we got there we went shopping but Flora started to cry so we went back.

The next day we went out for lunch at the Tug Boat …

__**1.4.08**__ On Friday after School Dad and Mum mustered the cows in to the Cattle yards to ear -mark the calves. Rupert, Flora and I went home to get our boots and Rupert and Flora walked down and I rid my motorbike down and I told to go and pick Rupert and Flora up. Dad told me to go and wait on the road to head the cows down to the Cattle yards then when they where on the road Dad told me to go though them and stop them going past the Cattle yards. When they were in the yards We Drafted the cows off then Dad started to ear tag the calves while Mum and I kept on drafting the cows out one time I chased the cows and calves too fast and mum nearly got smashed over but she stopped them.

Last night I asked Dad if we could go for a hunt but he didn’t answer. After dinner Dad asked Mum if she wanted to go for a hunt and she said Yes. So we cleared the table and got ready we put our boots on and left. We went to where we were going and that was on Limestone and we parked the bike and started walking. We went to a dam and lied on the dam’s wall. Then we told Mum and Flora to stay there and when they see us walk over the hill they can go and get the bike and drive along the bottom of Limestone and meet at the other side of Limestone. We were hopping though the fence then Rupert spotted a deer and Dad said that he couldn’t see it then he did so me and Rupert had to wait where we were. Then Dad had a shot and missed so he ran down the hill a bit then started to shoot and we got 2 stags a spikier and a 7 pointer.

__**3.3.08**__ In the weekend we went to Rathkeale to watch the St’Matts and Rathkeale students do their athletics. My sister who is 17 was in it it is her last year at school so we went to watch her. There was this really go guy at high jump he nearly broke the record. He is really good at running to he can do 100metres in just 11.77seconds which is a few seconds longer than the Olympic runners. He is the 4th best in the New Zealand junior runners.

Next year our family is going to go to the South Island for a family reunion. We are going to take a **gun** so we can go hunting for Wallabies because they are a pest. I think it will be really fun shooting the Wallabies because I have never shot one before. It will probably be really hard too because they jump around a lot of the time so we will probably miss most of them.
