Carnaval, Carnaval!

Hey hey hey!
 How has your week been? Mine has been great!
On Friday, I had a meal with 10 friends and then we all went to see '50 Shades of Grey' and it was a really fun night!
On Saturday we celebrated Carnival, and my quinta (78, 98) went as the typical childhood fairytale 'Princess and the frog', but with a twist. The boys were the princesses and the girls were the frogs! My mum made me a beautiful Belle dress, and my friend did my makeup... I looked like a drag queen!! We had a great time and won 120 euros towards our fiestas! So all in all, a great day!

David Traynor

Hey hey hey!
How has your week been? I hope it has been as good as mine.
Apart from my weekly rehearsals, this week has been good in a different way... I got my first big bed (a kingsize!!!) and I went to my first medium reading last night. The medium is called David Traynor, and he is great! I went to Levi's Showboat in Benidorm thinking that all that psychic stuff was a big fat lie, and I left thinking the opposite. My mum, sister and I all got readings. I was quite nervous when my mum got called out from the audience, being told there was a spirit there for her. Apparently, his name was Jack or John, and my mum couldn't relate. Then, another spirit came through.''A tall, well built gentleman who passed in a really sudden way. 'Hello love' he is saying''. Those were a few of the words David used. We knew immediatley, he was talking about my grandad, Donald. After a few descriptions and personal messages were told to my mum, she got quite emotional, and so did my sister and I. After a few minutes, David asked my mum to give my sister the microphone, because my grandad had some messages for her. Some of them were right, but a few of her messages clearly related to me, so David asked my sister to give me the microphone. Teary eyed, I answered with a simple 'Yes' or 'No' to the many things he was telling me. He told me that my grandad was always with me, and that he knows it is time for me to do what I want to do. David somehow knew about all my future plans, that I was looking to move into a flat in a different country for educational reasons, that a couple of weeks ago I was researching all the information about the different colleges, that I was worried about the fees and even the conversation I was having on my way to the reading. They were all correct. After a while, he told me that my grandad lives on in the afterworld and to take his love with me. It was a very emotional moment, which I won't forget any time soon. We left the reading feeling very pleased. Some of the readings were very touching, even though I am not related to the people who's stories they were. An old man, who got a reading from his twin brother and mother. A lady who got a reading from her mother and a young boy saying 'I love you mummy'. A boy who's school friend died in a traffic accident. A couple, who's son wanted to say he is in peace now, and many many more.
It was an incredible experience, and now I really do believe.
I now know my grandad is still with me, and that one day, we will be reunited.
