Star Wars

We all like Star Wars in our House (sad, I know!), particularly Daniel. Anyway, last year, we discovered a little shop in an Indoor market near us, that specialised in Star Wars stuff. We began to visit it regularly. Last weekend, Alex (the lad that owns the stall), opened a proper shop!!! And yesterday, we went along as he had some visitors, and we had our piccies taken with them!

These 'Stormtroopers' are members of a group called 'The UK Garrison, 501st Battalion'. (Apparently, the 501st Battalion is the name of the Stormtroopers who served Darth Vader in the film) . In order for someone to join this group, they must have exact replica costumes. They are all volunteers and do the visits for charity - Alex had a raffle and was donating some of this takings. It seemed like a great time was had by all and did wonders for Alex's shop.

Daniel has his SATs this week. At least 2 every day this week. Think it really is alot to put on them at 11 years old, particularly those who are abit less able. I know Daniel's school has been running booster classes for those who need them, but still think it's abit much. I don't think Daniel will have any problems tho, infact, he said he's looking forward to them - strange child! I'll keep you all up to date with how he gets on.

Anyway, I'm off shopping at the Metro Centre today, so I suppose I should get ready. BYEEEE!
