Margot’s writing (23/2/10) from her diary (no correction has been done):
Yesterday I couldn’t wake up, despite all of mum’s effort my eye lid’s wouldn’t budge. I was deep inside a dream, a mysterious dream, a dream where pig’s flyed and rainbows streamed over the wet land’s. The sweet land was inhabited by pink fairies, fluttering everywhere… “Margot it’ school time!” I got such a fright that I jumped out of bed, grabbed a towel and ran strait into the shower. I chucked the towel over the rail and turned the cold shower on. I felt a shiver come up my spine. In the distance I bearly heard dad’s voice as he walked out the door .”See you this afternoon, when we go to the beach”. The beach. It rang in my head. The beach! We were going to the beach. I could ask mum if we could see Julia! I was so excited I hardly got any work done. Every 5 minutes I reminded mum to put her phone in her pocket but every time I remined her she got distracted by something else like “OK but first I’ll get the toggs off the line”. And after she got distracted she would forget about the phone so I would reminded her again. After a while I stopped reminding her, hoping that she would remember what I had told her a million times. Mum read us a book about what would I do if I was a clown and about 2 litte shoes. At the end of the book there was a recipie that looked very inviting, so we got all the ingredients (as you can see on the left) and started baking, dad arrived home with another doctor called Lyn. She is very Irish (with a strong accent). For lunch we had couscous and mixed veges. It was very tasty meal for a such hungry girl (Me). I love eating. Eating is my favorite subject. I could eat all day if you told me to. Soon after Wentzel, Analou, Uju and Lize arrived. We all went outside and played on the hammock for about half an hour. Then I got bored of playing with Wentzel, Analou, Uju and Zara so I took Lize’s hand and we brang the chairs into my room and sat down. Lize’s only two so it’s hard to chat with her, but it’s fun because she repeats everything you say. A few minutes later Siphesihle and her little brother Mlando, knocked on my door. I let her in and she started reading my magazine. When everyone was gone we hopped into the car. I got onto dad’s lap and controlled the stearing wheel all the way to Sphesihle front door. Dad drove the rest of the way. We passed Julia’s dad’s work and realized mum forgot her phone. I was angry but I held it in. When we arrived at the beach we got into our toggs and got our boogie boards and ran for the waves.Mum got her snorcling gear and swam to the rocks. Dad came with me and Zara boogie boarding.We boarded for ten minutes. Mum was snorcking for ten minutes too but soon after she swam over to us. “Oh, girls you must come over to the rocks, there are lots and lotts of ausome fish! Come on quick!” I got out before Zara and slid my flippers on, got my mask and ran over to were mum was standing. As far as my leg’s would, I jumped into the water, as far as I could. I dived down, wat a sight! There were lots and lots of shoals of fish. It was the most amazing sight in my life. Seeing fish this close was amazing. I love the sight of fish! This morning I got up early and wrote this story just for you!
