The Hills came to stay last night. That's because John was running the marathon today. And the marathon runs right past our house. He didn't have to run yesterday when they arrived. They brought us loads of stuff- even a birthday present for Mammy although her birthday isn't till next weekend - in fact the present is for her birthday in 2 years and 6 days time.
Caoimhe slept in Ella's room and that meant I got to go in to Mammy and Daddy's room and sleep in my Fifi bed. By the time we all got downstairs in the morning, Daddy had already brought John to the start of the marathon. But Daddy came home - he didn't stay to run the race. So we played for a good while and then we decided it was time to go to the end of the road to wait for John to go past.
When we got down there, the McCarthys were there too waiting for their Daddy to go past too. So we all waited together and shared some sweets and ran up and down the road. And then Daddy decided to get his bike so that when John went by he cycled off with him - I think he was feeling left out! Una, our next door neighbour, was there too with pom poms to cheer people on so she let us borrow them and cheer with her. And then we decided to try to clean up the street because people were throwing little bottles of water everywhere even though we were right beside a bin so we spent ages picking them all up and putting them in the bin. We didn't drink out of them tho. You can't if they've been on the ground.
