Mrs Mackerel has decided to take a short sabbatical and invite some friends, relatives and countrywomen to takeover her Friday night post, a Friday routine as regular in this household as a G&T with lime, or pizza Margherita for the sprats.

And a sprat it is, that takes control of the keyboard in this first week.

So it is with great honour that I welcome myself on board TEAM MAD MACKEREL (forget the teams Edward or Jacob!)! I am introducing myself as the one and only Sprat 2! The number, by the way, has NOTHING to do with the ranking of greatness (as it is unfair to Sprats 1 and 3)!

I love music (duh, that’s why I’m here), especially; First Aid Kit, We are Augustines and the soundtrack to Bugsy Malone. Unrelated music things that I love are sport (mostly cricket) and reading.

So, now you know about me, read about what I learnt this week.

After two and a half weeks at my Secondary School, I have learnt that I have inherited MM’s non-existent skill in woodwork. I found this out by my awesome powers of deduction, and these three facts:

1. I have chiselled my way through the one side of my to-be box…
2. And sawed my way through the other
3. Finally, I’ve been so slow and made so many mistakes, I’m now about 5 steps behind everyone else.

Happy Friday everyone and enjoy your weekend.
