A Girl's Day Out

Sleep in late on a comfy camp bed with grandad and Mellie. While Mellie is unavailable in the bath, I pretend grandad is my friend and he helps with my homework, snuggled up in bed. Certainly dont want "pain au chocolat" for brekkie: want cereal. Get dressed, have lovely pain au chocolat for breakfast. Mum rang and I asked if she slept alright without me. Allow grandad to take me into town, and I let him take me to the market to taste chocolate cake (and a satisfying £3 to buy it). He makes me go to the greengrocers, so I turn on the charm to get him to buy me a pear and some other stuff and all the people there were nice. I held grandad's hand because he insisted and it seems to make him happy.
I want to go on a ferry and go to a zoo (planned it for days), but they didnt tell me I would have to walk there. They keep telling me to stop dawdling (whatever that is: everything is so interesting). And then I ran and they couldnt keep up. Eventually, the ferry is there, waiting for us, and I see loads of fish and sharks but they dont seem to see them.


So now we are on the beach. Where else is there to be? But they keep nagging, something about a rotten old zoo.
Meerkat?

Lemur?

Whateva
There was something they called an Occi...Ossi...Oce?...a lot of them? Some sort of Cheetah like in the Lion King. And spiders that made me make a loud noise (well everyone looked).
Then we went to a shop which had great stuff, except they seemed to turn up their noses at the best furry tigers so I had to settle for some plastic aminals in a bottle.
Then we had to walk back a very long way and I wasnt allowed to stop to let my aminals out so we had to walk to a pub

and then the aminals played in an aminal pool on the back of a boat while grandad and Mellie went away and I had to shout for Mellie and then I had to wear Mellie's fleece cos my shirt and trousers got wet in the aminal pool. And then I had to walk MILES and had to go round the shop AGAIN and they wouldnt carry me even though I was tired and then mum came and made me go home and I was so upset I didnt say goodbye, cos I didnt want to leave and life is bad
