It’s
my birthday on 28 September and I’ll be 8 years old. I’m not sure what I’ll be
getting as presents. I heard David muttering something about worm pills, but I
think he was joking. I know my friends are plotting something, though. I’ve
heard them talking about a surprise party and a special present. They even
mentioned that my friend Glynis is making a cake — I hope it’s got chicken in
it. They don’t realize I know what they are talking about. I think my friend
Jean has a birthday around now too, but I’m sure it must be my party they’re
planning. They’d better get a move on as we need to send out the invitations
soon.
My
birthday means I’m Libra. Apparently Librans like to live an easy,
uncomplicated life. That’s true, but looking after Linda and David makes it a
bit difficult for me to do that sometimes. Librans are also apparently
successful in business. Well, that’s true too — look how well I do my blog and
how many connections I have on that LinkedIn organisation. Remember, any time
you want my advice, you just have to ask.
Linda’s
been away to the seaside for a week, so I’ve had to take extra care of David.
I’ve been invited out to lunch several times and I’ve let David come with me.
Well, he likes to drive me places so it’s only fair he stays for lunch too. But
we’ll be glad when Linda’s back.
I’d
better give you an update. It turned out the party was on Sunday — and it was
for Jean after all. I didn’t mind too much as Jean is a good friend of mine and
it was made clear that I was the guest of honour. There were lots of people
there who made a great fuss of me. Luckily they all remembered it was actually
Jean’s birthday party and made a fuss of her too. She got a lovely hat as a
present. It wouldn’t have suited me, though.
Perhaps
there’ll be another party for MY birthday…
If there is a party - please can I come and bring my little sister Chloe. We hope our mate Freddie will be with his new forever home (if all goes well tomorrow). Keep your fingers crossed.

Hello Barty
ReplyDeleteI think Linda and David are keeping my party a big secret — no one seems to know anything about it. I hope they invite you and Chloe and Freddie. I heard he has a new home and am very pleased I could help. Give him a lick from me next time you see him.
