Day One Thousand

Miss Pancake 

We had another very beautiful day today. 

So I got my friend Niamh up a bit too early so she could see the beautiful day. 

But then we went back to sleep in the living room. Because it was a bit very early.

Then when we were all awake we went on a very long walk. 

And we visited my friends the ducks in the other pond, and Niamh tried to show me the fishes.

But I could not see them. Oh well. 

So when we got back we went to our work in our own office. 

Before lunchtime we had to go and help Miss Emily bring that little girl home from her school. 

My head had a very good time, because I stuck it out the window all the time. 

And today I did not get even a bit soggy. 

Because it was not raining a bit. Ha.

When we were home I had my lunch and then I minded Niamh. All afternoon.

Because we had lots of work to do.

This morning Craig got secret presents from Zita. She hid them for his little birthday. 

And some of them were peanut butter cookies. My goodness, peanut butter cookies are very tasty.

Last night Craig and Niamh and I stayed up until past my bedtime, they were just talking. 

It was not so interesting.

But we did not watch that hockey game. 

I think Mister Tyler watched it for us, in his apartment with Mister Mike.

When we went to bed I kept Craig cosy warm, until I was too hot and then I slept in my little house. 

After lunch time, when I was minding Niamh there was a big noise.

So I ran into the living room and Craig and I looked out the window.

And I saw some men drop a very loud thing. My goodness.

So I watched them and then they found their squish everywhere flat machine. 

And it was loud too.

But Craig and I stayed inside our house.

Because we did not want to be squished as flat as could be.

Craig said I would be flat as a pancake. I did not think that was so funny. Too bad for him. 

We saw Mister The King on Craig’s computer. He was not on our busy street today.

He was downtown talking to all the brand new rascals. Ha.

And he did not go in a car. He went in a giant wagon, with horses. 

And lots of our very own horse police with their very long pointy sticks were there too. 

They can stick those sticks into nasty people, and nobody minds. Ha. 

Just like Mister Cú Chulainn in one of Emmet’s very famous stories. Ha. 

Niamh was very busy this afternoon so I was very busy helping her. 

And when the work was over Niamh and I made very delicious hamburgers. And we cooked them outside. 

Because they taste better when you them outside. It is known.

Then Tarryn talked to Niamh on her telephone and they decided to go out to watch the important hockey game together.

And have desserts with lots of cream. Ha. 

The present man brought a box here. And it was my birthday present for my friend Craig. 

Festis and Furrgus’s sent it from Auntie Elseabeth’s favourite bookstore in London. My goodness.

They could not be at Craig’s birthday parties. 

Because they are too busy keeping Auntie Elseabeth and Cousin Mórag out of the hands of the local constabulary. My goodness. 

That is a hard job. 

Dugal said he was too old for such shenanigans, and so was Auntie Elseabeth. Oh dear.

After Niamh went out I stayed here to mind Craig. 

We went to bed before that hockey game was all over.

Because we were a bit very tired.
