Sunday

Slept terribly last night. My sun allergy was itching like crazy.

Got up at 8.30. Dad decided he wanted to pickle beetroot so put two huge pans on the stove. Then went and took the dog and left me to watch it. The kitchen was filled with steam and the stench of beetroot.

There was some really ugly beetle in the garden. Like a stag beetle but with these huge long feelers. It could move really quick too. Mom got it in her net and slung it over the hedge at the bottom of the garden.

The hosepipe came off the wall while Dad was concreting and got water everywhere.
