I had a very nice day. 

My cousin Mattie came for a little visit. To see our cousin Orlaith. Before she goes on the aeroplane. And goes to her new university in way far away Ireland. 

Mattie is a very big dog. Bigger than I am. He does not like to play. He likes to sit all still and quiet beside Mister Gary. 

I am not so quiet a dog. It is known. Oh well.

Cousin Mattie could not stay. He had to go for his boat ride. At his other house. Beside the beautiful late. He sits in the front seat of the go fast boat and Mister Gary has to paddle.

Then we had our coffees and toasts. That is good. No nice special jam today. Oh well.

Zita and Niamh and Orlaith went out in gold big car. To give our newspapers to all the nice stores on the very busy street.

It looks like a castle. It is not. It is only a museum all about wild animals. No nice dogs like me. Just giant whales and the very fierce just all white polar bears and dinosaurs and even porcupines. 

Porcupines are very dangerous. You can not go up and just smell porcupines. Or you will get an all stuck in nose. Oh dear.
