Devouring Ducks, Olly Murs and The Royal Wedding

Devouring Ducks
I finally decided, after 6 days, that I would eat my lovely choccy duck! I genuinely felt guilty about wanting to eat it, but then I thought... oh well, it smells delicious! At first I didn't realise that James was filming until I realised that he was keeping the phone in the same position and so now I have quite an amusing video of the devouring of the duck! Enjoy...

 Olly Murs
Zoe just got home from seeing Olly Murs at the Winter Gardens in Margate and she is like a little excitable puppy! It is absolutely adorable!!!

She got home and said "I MET OLLY MURS" - I already knew from her facebook status! After showing us the autograph she got, she told us all about it, how he kissed her on the cheek, had a photo with him, and he touched her on the back! Bless her! She told us that people saw them going to meet him and looked pretty jealous haha! 

Mum has just gone to bed and she kissed Zoe on the cheek, but Zoe was being careful that Mum didn't kiss her on the same cheek as Olly did! Haha. 


The Royal Wedding
In the run up to the Royal Wedding I wasn't sure whether I would actually watch it as I didn't see much point. I did in the end because I thought it would actually be quite good! I started off watching BBC coverage and it was pretty boring before anyone really started moving! 

When they showed the guests arriving I was wondering "how the hell did Mr Bean get an invitation?" He is one of the last people I would expect to be at the wedding - how strange, but never mind!

Beforehand, I couldn't remember the name of the designer that recently died, but I had a feeling that that's who the dress was by (well not from beyond the grave, but you know what I mean), and I was right! Wahey! I obviously know now that is is Alexander McQueen and it looked absolutely stunning on her!! Wow. However, although she did look lovely behind the veil, I thought she looked prettier once the veil was taken off of her face.

Personally, I thought the wedding was soooo cute... although it was strange that barely any guests could actually see! Strange...

They looked so natural, and I could see them at times trying to suppress a few giggles. Kate looked like she was going to have a little giggle when she was saying ALL of his names, she was probably thinking about how getting them wrong!

There didn't look like anything much went wrong, apart from the ring NEARLY not fitting! That would have been bad, but luckily he did manage to get it on!

I did get bored of the seriousness of the BBC coverage and decided that ITV was more fun, Phillip Schofield was much funnier!

Overall, I think it was a really cute wedding... but some of the hats people wore (particularly Princess Beatrice) were a little... odd!

Quack!

For Easter, Joely got me a white chocolate duck, and a little chocolate egg which has a marshmallow chick inside! They are/were the cutest things ever! I say are/were because I have eaten the egg... but not the duck! 

At first, I didn't want to crack the egg, but curiosity got the better of me and I cracked the top of the egg off... the chick was upside down so I had to eat a little more of the egg so I could see it properly. Here is what it looked like... 


How cute is that? The chick had a smudged eye and a dirty nose, but who cares... it's cute! I can't remember when Zoe ate her chick but it was before me... and she said it was delicious! This chick did look so yummy so I bit it's bum (sorry chick) and she was right - it tasted so good - so I slowly ate the rest of the chick, making it last as long as possible... didn't last long really!

Just now, Zoe asked if I wanted to see her finger puppet, I said yes, and she takes her hand out from behind her back and I see a little chocolate duck's head wobbling about!!! MURDER... well not really, but still! Apparently, the duck is also delicious! 

I just took mine out of the packet and smelt it... mmm!! Smells yummy! Now it is sitting on my desk looking at me as I am writing this, knowing that I am thinking about breaking into it - just a little bit - but it is just too damn cute to break! All of that hard work that... the machine... put in to making it, and I have already eaten it's child. 

Joely says that it's okay because it doesn't have feelings! But it's too cute... I can't kill it! Ok, not yet! Soon it will be gone, I'm not going to let it go bad am I? I don't want an ugly, out of date, ducking on my desk now, do I?

I warn the duck to sleep with one eye open... or he may have a pain in his arse when he wakes up ;)
