Brownsea Island: Day 10

Day 10 (2nd of August):

Wow, 10 days? Time sure does fly, at least it really feels as if it has gone fast, if anyone had asked me, I would never had said 10 days.

But today was special because as there are a lot fewer participants for this camp (the NCC camp) then the others, so only half of the staff is necessary, therefor I had the morning off, and tomorrow I will have the evening off, and I can't describe just how good that feels, to actually have time off... Anyway as you may have noticed A LOT of posts were made today, so try and guess what I have been doing today until lunch.
Yesterday lunch was changed to some more fancy sandwiches, which makes it harder for me and Simon (curlews subcamp leader). The difference is that now it is harder to pick everything out and just eat the bread. But afterwards the scouts managed to be approx. 20 minutes late for their sound activity as the first part of canoeing had been cancelled due to bad weather (it was pouring down). After a half hour or so of the sound activity we went down to canoeing where I took some pictures and walked off for an icecream which turned into some double chocolate biscuits as they didn't sell any good ice-creams at the Brownsea island shop. Once back I relaxed a bit on the bench and just waited for the activity to be over so I could go to the computer cafe and write a bit on my blog. Also while writing this I have rememberd a funny incident at lunch, Adam (who has a slightly annoying laughter) started laughing at his own laughter, and as you might imagine that is a sort of locked circle where he just went on and on and on etc... But it made the rest of us laugh, in fact we found it hilarious and Declan even recorded it. I sat for a long time in the internet tent before I went in for dinner, just to return to the internet tent as soon as I was done. After some more time in the internet tent I went into the main tent (ford marquee) to do a little barndancing but it was so chaotic that I immediatly left (well, after half a dance). But I would like to congratulate the band for their performance back in 2005 when I was a participant here on Brownsea Island, because they played on the night of my first kiss, so I guess they did something right.

On another note I saw Adam (bulls subcamp) and Jane (curlews subcamp) kiss today which made me ponder on the inside, as Jane had told me that Adam was always going around with her and sitting next to her in an anything but nice voice, but as it turns out persistance makes a difference.
