Daily life in space

It is the 9Th of December 2010. I have 6 more days in space. It is morning and we are all eating at the table. Today for breakfast we are going to have cornflakes. We strap it to the table tight and start eating. Some of our cornflakes starts to float.
When I go to the toilet I have to hold myself down on the seat. It is quite tough.
I have already fixed tandem an solo guide and today I am going to fix Dexter to complete the mission. The time is 11:59am and I am going to do some exercises. We have machines that are a bit like bikes and on the machines you have to pedal a lot.

The time is 1:31pm. I have been training for 1 and a half hours. I am now going to try and complete my mission. It is going to take an hour to get to Dexter the satellite. Dexter is now only 2km away. I am getting into my space suit to go out there and fix Dexter.

When I fix Dexter it will take about 2 hours. I am now outside the space shuttle and I am heading towards Dexter. Dexter's telescope is 30cm wide and 50cm high. I am carrying the new telescope for Dexter. I am taking Dexter's old telescope out and putting the new one in. The new telescope fits perfectly. I have now fixed Dexter's telescope and I am now heading back to the space ship. Controller Ryan Wilson is is having a nap to save his energy for later as for John Vergeer he was fooling around with his food and refused to eat the biscuit. When it was dinner John ate all the Chocolate biscuits. Ryan and I only had vegetables and no desert. John went to his sleeping bag on the wall and started to settle down. When we sleep we have a special sleeping bag attached to the wall and so does John. John snuck some food into his sleeping bag and he took some Pringles. I was writing in my space journal and will continue writing in it when we get back on Earth.
