Saffron will be wanting this to write in a minute but I thought I would jot some stuff down about him before hand. Which I'm sure he will very pleased about. I think he feels that I dont notice what he does, and that I dont care. I do - but, and I know sometimes that he does understand this, Rhiannon takes up so much of my time now. I dont even have time for myself. But enough procrastinating. Saffron has used the time he's spent alone, put it to good use. He practices his writing, and his reading alot, seated on the top of the kitchen table, using the cut down biro inner I gave him. He has plenty of paper, I just need to make sure that I remember to buy a proper sized quill for him. He likes to write down things like my shopping lists, although they do sometimes go missing - I think he is papering his 'secret' hideaway with examples of his handwriting.
I am determined I will neglect him no more; I do feel terrible for having left him to his own devices (although he does enjoy having the full usage of the television and dvd player. He likes comedies especially; Blackadder, Red Dwarf and Will and Grace are his favourites ). He is also determined still to learn how to surf, no matter how much I tell him is too small for such an endeavour. He just says that he will find a way. Anyway, as he is now perched on my shoulder and asking for the diary I should let him write.
Diary,
Sayuri - lady is wrong - I will learn to surf! She already calls me a little beach bum - I say I no beach bum, I no have the baggy shorts. She say she do something about that but I no believe her. She also say that now the screaming thing-girly, Ree-anon or whatever its name is older that she will take me to the Feien shop every week. I hope she say truth.
I write better then last time Sayuri-lady got diary out, I make writing all the time!
See I call the lady by her name and not the meanie. Well I dont call her meanie to her face any more. Just when I am on own. I hope she does take me to shop, I have not seen anyone I know - I think I even forget all names I learnded. I have to go and find yellow leaves now for my very secret place. I go there when screaming girly-thing tries to play with me like toy.
