LIFE.

I don’t think I’ve ever been this tired! Staying up until 3am last night didn’t help, but I was making headbands and earrings for my little online store; Voodoo Designs.

Today we went to the Centre For LIFE which is a science-museum-type-thing in Newcastle. My sister drove to Gosforth and we got the Metro to Newcastle Central Station (which now has barriers so you can’t go for a wee unless you have a ticket!!) and walked along to LIFE. 






Walking past the Baron & Baroness totally reminded me of my little Danielbob who I love to pieces. I miss you!

Entry was half price = WIN &&& there was an exhibition about snot…so obviously it was going to be a good day! Bethany and Chloe really enjoyed the bubble disco. We saw an exhibition about ‘Bubbles & Balloons’ too, the professor-type-man made a bubble around a little boy, it actually looked like he was trapped inside. Über cool!




After lunch, Bethany and Chloe went to play in the soft play area and I watched ‘Mr Bunhead’ do some experiments… He put bubbles on his head and set them on fire, squished a jelly baby and popped balloons with fire.




The planetarium was amazing! I’ve always enjoyed reading about planets and stuff (Saturn was always my favourite, FYI) so after finding out some awesome facts, I really want a telescope and I’ve been googling stuff on astronomy.


I went to the “snot” exhibition with Andrew and was totally disappointed! It wasn’t really about snot, it was about ‘mucus’, which is completely different. Snot is the green things you find in your nose and mucus - as we found out - is found in human bodies and on animals/creatures such as snails. I did find out how to make fake snot though.


I was disappointed by the gift shop too, but I did buy some sweets for Bethany and Chloe, and a little something for Lara.

We went to Pizza Hut too! Our waiter looked like a cross between Michel Musso and  Musso, he was quite cute! He made my pizza wrong though, so we got to take that one for free and he made one that was what I actually ordered.



On the way home, we went to Asda to stock up on junk food to munch on while we watched ‘The Hangover’, but me and Sarah fell asleep watching it anyway…
