dad stopped the car outside of erin and greg's house. greg got in the car next to me. mr alec showed up on his very loud motorbike. holy hell, something exciting must be going on. erin jumped on the motorbike with mr alec and we all drove off.
dad parked the car in this big lot. i asked mom what was going on. she said that we were at the carboot sale and we're going to walk around looking for fun stuff. carboot? mom said it's like a giant outside charity shop. oooooh cool. so i took mom's hand and off we went to find cool stuff. there was soo much stuff. i didn't know where to look. i saw loads of things i would like to have but mom said- no, we're not just buying things. we stopped at this one table and mom plucked this big black lump out of a pile of toys. she gave it a squeeze and handed it to me. what the heck? it chirped at me. i turned the thing over and looked at it. it's a black bird, and it chirps! mom asked the lady how much? and the lady said- 50p. mom asked me if i really liked him because 50p was all my pocket money for the day. yes! i love him! ok then. mom gave the lady some money and that is how birdie came to be my friend. mom asked if i wanted to put birdie in her bag! no i will carry him, and i did. mom bought loads of things. all her bags were full. most of it was food. the veg man had cheap strawberries, pineapple and grapes so mom stocked up. then the cheap meatman had beef and chicken mom wanted. mom was all- chicken breasts for $1.50 a lb, hell yeah.
the carboot sale was a great treat. i had a blast and birdie came home to live with us. the rest of the day was not nearly as exciting. i just kind of hung out with mom playing. dad and i are going to watch pingu later, i can't wait.
