First test I will rate that a 10/10
second test 5.3/10 with water
third test with milk 2.5/10

Many milk-based products contain a protein called casein, which can help break down those capsaicin tricksters. Think of casein as a detergent — attracting, surrounding and helping wash away the oil-based capsaicin molecules floating around your mouth, similar to how soap washes away grease.

Holidays.

 Hi guys welcome to my blog post today I am going to tell you about my holidays.


In the holidays my Nan and my cousin and I went on a two hour road trip to Te anau and I fell asleep on the way to Te Anau  , once we got there we were feeling pretty hungry so we went to the nearest subway and had something there, after we had something for lunch we went to my Nan's friends house and my cousin and I played draughts and I completely destroyed him in that game, after we got bored of playing that game we got the jigsaw puzzle and we completed it in about ten minutes, after that we turned the TV on and I tried to change the channel but I accidentally pressed the wrong button, soon we figured out how to work the TV.


The next day we woke up and I watched a movie on the TV while my cousin played on the tablet, then we had breakfast I made eggs for breakfast, the we left to go to the boat place where we went on a twenty five minute boat ride to an island with glow worm caves.

When we got back from the caves we went and got some sushi, we were supposed to go on a helicopter trip but it was cancelled cause of the weather.

A day in lockdown.

 Hi welcome to my blog post I am going to tell you what I have been doing today.


Today in lockdown I woke up and played on my phone for about half an hour then I had breakfast I had vanilla flavoured nutrigrain for breakfast, then I had my vitamins and my pills I watched YouTube while I ate my vitamin c, then after I brushed my teeth and washed my face I watched a movie with my mum and dad after we finished the movie I played outside for not that long, then I came inside and vacuumed the house while my mum played her music on the speaker. After I finished vacuuming my dad and I went and played backyard volleyball and american football and passes with the rugby ball, we even did some exercise, we did some jogging, and we pulled the giant tractor tire my dad was able to pull it but I couldn't pull it, but I could  flip it over though.




Here are some photos of a bench/bed  that my dad and I made yesterday you can use inside and outside
(my dad did most of the work)



While we were outside doing work my mum was busy cleaning the oven she left it outside to soak.
My dad and I also kinda fixed the fence we put little bits of timber to support it.

Day 1 of lockdown

 Hi guys today I am going to tell you guys what I have been doing on the first day of lock down.




Today I had tomato and basil tuna on toast it was delicious, after I finished having breakfast I brushed my teeth, then my dad watched the news on TV then I came and watched some netflix  with him, then I played on my phone for about an hour . Then I went to go play outside. Then my dad came outside and we started to do some work, I mowed most of the lawn while my dad put together part of my trampoline that flew over the fence a few weeks ago luckily the neighbours took it off their fence and laid it out for us and made it easier for us to take it apart and carry back to our house.  After a while my dad and I swapped and he mowed the rest of the lawn and I put the springs on the trampoline but we were missing three springs  so I went out to where the trampoline landed and searched for them then I found two of the springs but one was still missing but I couldn't find it so I came back.

Then after that my dad and I put together the legs of the trampoline while my mum goes to work, she is a essential worker she works for the NZ post she loads and  unloads the packages from the planes from overseas and New Zealand and  she is also a forklift driver. My cousin is an essential worker too she packs the chicken from tegel to feed all the people in New Zealand. After my mum went to work it was just my dad and I at home because my cousin was working late then I came inside and had a nice warm relaxing shower. but I showered too early and forgot to take the legs take the legs down from the trampoline so that the trampoline doesn't fly away again so my dad had to do it in the dark. Then we both watched a movie together half way through the movie my dad went to go shower so I played on the PS4 until my dad came back then after the movie we both went to sleep

Hockey

 Hi guys welcome to my blog, I am going to be talking to be talking to you about hockey and what it is.

What is hockey?

Hockey is a game that is played for fun or it is played competitively.

The thing I really enjoyed about hockey is smacking the ball really hard and watching it going rolling really fast on the ground.Hockey - Home

The things you need for hockey is a hockey stick, a hockey ball and a mouth guard, and the last thing you need is a pair of shin pads for safety.
