Chapter 1

Sunday August 23rd

On sofa

10:00 a.m.

I think it's the first day of the summer holidays where it hasn't been raining and I'm très bored. If Vati invites Uncle Eddie over one more time I may go off the scale of insaneness. Oh no, here comes Vati, my cue to leave.

I bed

Still Sunday

10:30 p.m.

Why o why is the world full of such insanosity? Mum tried to cook us a 'special meal'. But now I am hungry as well as bored. How depressing.

10:35

Bored

Tuesday August 25th

In room

11:00 a.m.

Jas phoned:

"Hi, are you coming?"

"Good God Jas, do you think that I have been given psychic powers from the psychic power fairy?!"

"I didn't know that there was a psychic powers fairy."

"That's because there isn't one. Anyway, where are we going?"

"To the park, to say bye to Rosie."

"Say bye to Rosie?"

"Yer, she's moving to France, didn't you know?"

"NOOO, when was anyone planning to tell me?"

"Why are you asking me?"

"Who else is there to ask?"

"Good point, just be there in an hour."

10:45 p.m.

In bed

It turns out that Rosie's family can't afford to here. But, why France I wonder? Rosie looked really sad but she'll be able to visit. Maybe we could raise some money.
