Today is the day of my Aunty Mary's 50th brthday. We got up slowly and had a quiet breakfast of croissants, bread and jam washed down with cocoa and vitamin pills. Before going to the party and Aunty Mary's house, Dad, Alissa and I went to the Church Square market to pick up the leather bracelets which had been made for me. Each bracelet had the name of a friend on it & they had spelt them all right!
We arrived at Aunty Mary's house at about 1pm and there were loads of my relatives there. My cousins had put their dog Flash in a dog hotel for the day because he's so big he would get in the way and eat everything. Everyone had a good time and we ended up giving Aubty Mary three cheers for being such a good egg. My cousin Thomas then gave us all chinese burns and ran off shouting "You'll never catch me!".
At about 5pm, we took my cousins Agnes, Dominic and Bridie to the River Cam, where we hired a punt and took it down the Backs. We passed by Queen's, King's, St Catherine'sTrinity, St John's and Magdalene Colleges. We all has a go with the punting pole but it was difficult to get through the heavy traffic of drunk punters who were wearing gowns becaue they had just graduated.
We then dropped off my cousins and went to Grantchester for dinner in a pub by the river called the Green Man. I had the leek and potato soup and finished the lot.
We got home after dark. I struggled up the steps to our apartment and went straight to bed.
