So Mammy finally decided we were going to Portugal on our holidays. I wanted to go to Spain. That's the place with the rock pools near Mammo's house! But we went to an apartment with 2 pools near to the beach in Portugal instead. We had to get up almost in the middle of the night to go on the plane and when we got there it was very hot and Uncle Ross' sat nav took us a funny way there. But we didn't mind. It was like an adventure. We went out in the lovely sunny weather and had the biggest toasted sandwiches we've ever seen. Actually I just had the toast with no filling and Ríodhna shared Mammys. We went down to the beach - it had great waves and we got quite wet but we didn't mind. We tried peach juice for the first time that evening and we both really like it - even though I thought I wouldn't.

The day before we went Mammy had to go to work so we did messages with Daddy all day. He had to drive mammy's car because he crashed his in an accident. It was pretty bashed and Daddy only got a small cut on his knee that didn't even need a plaster. So it can't have been that bad. So my new job is to tell him to be careful - I did it when we were out driving around doing messages and he was on the phone to the insurance lady. And even though it was the middle of the night, I reminded him to drive slowly and carefully all the way to the airport.

Then we had Daddy's birthday. We went to some shops and bought party things. And Mammy let him pick where to eat lunch and it was really tasty! The best things were the balloons. And a candle that played happy birthday by itself. They didn't have the cake he wanted so we had yummy yummy pancakes instead. We had good fun playing and eating and eating and playing.
