Hi, I’m Oscar, I’m 8 and a half years old and I am Théo’s little brother. I’m going to tell you about my life. I love music! I play guitar and piano. The thing about guitar is that it’s the thing I play most in my life. I have a guitar lesson every Thursday. I don’t know how many songs I can play but I think a lot. Now, the thing about piano, is that I started in 2010. I have a piano lesson every Monday. I am better at playing guitar because it’s strumming and putting your fingers around and normally in piano you don’t learn chords first.
Every day after school, I skate outside with my friends. I’ve been skating for two and a half years. I find it fun because you can go up and down ramps and go very fast. There’s a lot of tricks but I can’t do most of them. I like to make up tricks with my friends, like the One Foot Pop Shove-It, the Hippy Jump, the One Foot Fingerflip and the Pogg. There’s also Tech Decks. I like Tech Decks because you can do more things on them. Tech Decks are fingerboards.
Some days when I go to school, I cycle with my mom and dad. Cycling to school is fun but I don’t like coming back because there is an uphill and that’s the only way we can get to our house. I have to get up early if I want to cycle to school. Normally I would do it on a Thursday. But when I do it on a Thursday I have to leave my guitar at school and bring it back on Friday. I also like to cycle with my friends. I have two skateboarding ramps that used to be owned by my brother Sam. We go up them on our bikes and I’m the best at doing it because I go the highest and can do some tricks like getting my feet of the pedals! My two friends have BMX’s but I’m not jealous because I have a gear bike. When I cycle in France, it is fun because we can see lots of nature, mostly sunflowers. I find we pass a lot of vineyards, although it depends on where our holiday house is (Théo’s note: We exchange our house with people all over France, so we get different “holiday houses” ).
I love reading. I am reading the Harry Potter series. I’m on the last one, the Deathly Hallows. The thing about Harry Potter is the magic would be so cool to have. It would make life easier. I started reading the Harry Potters in 1st class and I’m now going into 3rd class. I find Harry Potter funny because of Ron Weasley. I just love reading!
Last Saturday, we went to our cousin’s marriage. I danced a lot. I played a song on my guitar for my cousin during the ceremony. I was very tired the next day because I went to bed at 5:30 in the morning! That was my earliest bedtime (Théo’s note: He’s made that joke so many times!) ! There’s another cousin that I haven’t seen in a long time that was there. He goes to Japan and America for his work. I had lots of fun with him. When he came out of the car, I jumped up and hugged him! My mom made a joke to pretend it was his birthday, even though his birthday is in April!
(Théo’s note: This is a guest post from my younger brother Oscar, dictated to me, we’re on a long car ride and I thought it could take up a bit of the time. This is the result. I think it was pretty good, don’t you?)
