Friday 17th & Saturday 18th October 

Hello again ! If you think it's been quiet for  the last couple of days - you'd be wrong ! I've been very grumpy recently, keeping Mum & Dad busy trying to guess what's wrong with me. Sometimes, there's nothing they can do to calm me down and I can't find the words to tell them what the problem is, 'cos I'm too busy screaming ! Dad's been on Early shift, and it's quite unusual to see him leaving the house in such a hurry at 4am ! Mum's trying her best to look after me, but it's a challenge for her with no sleep at all ! At least I have been remembering to breathe...have to fill those lungs in order to keep shouting ! On the plus side, Uncle Dave and Dad finally managed to fix the shower, after I showed them what to do. Let's hope nothing else breaks down for a while...

Although I've been yelling too much to write my diary, I have been reading all the nice messages from around the world in my visitors book. I even have new fans from Sweden and Austria...Thanks everyone! Commiserations to "Springbok" Uncle J J in Paris after the rugby result today. 

Dad decided it would be a good idea for Mum to have a girls' night out on Saturday, so we drove her over to Kamal's house and they all went to see a Hindi film. I promised to be on my best behaviour, as she said she would be thinking about me. Sure enough, when we got home, Dad got the beers out & I settled down in front of the TV with the Radio Times & the remote control, and didn't make a sound!
