Eight days have gone by since Christmas Day but my mother still hasn't worn the green lurex ['ljuǝreks] apron I bought her for Christmas!

Friday January 2^nd

Bank Holiday in Scotland. Full Moon

The dog got its own back on my father. It jumped up and knocked down his model ship, then ran into the garden with the rigging¹ tangled in its feet. My father kept saying, "Three months' work wasted," over and over again.

(after Sue Townsend)

Saturday January 3^rd

I shall go mad through lack (нехватка) of sleep! My father has banned (запретил) the dog from the house so it barked outside my window all night. Just my luck! My father shouted a swear-word [sweǝ] at it. If he's not careful he will be arrested by the police for obscene² language. She still hasn't worn the lurex apron. I will be glad to get back to school.

Sunday January 4^th

Second after Christmas

My father has got the flu³. I'm not surprised with the diet ['daiǝt] we get. My mother went out in the rain to get him a vitamin C drink, but as I told her, "It's too late now". It's a miracle (чудо) we don't get scurvy (цинга).

The dog has run off because my mother didn't close the gate (калитка). I have broken the arm on the stereo. Nobody knows yet, and with a bit of luck my father will be ill for a long time. He is the only one who uses it apart from me. No sign of the apron.

sign (n) – знак sign (v) – подписать(ся); записаться

Monday January 5^th

The dog hasn't come back yet. It is quiet without it. My mother rang the police and gave a description of the dog. She made it sound worse than it actually is: straggly hair (шерсть клочками) over its eyes and all that. I really think the police have got better things to do than look for dogs, such as catching murderers. I told my mother this but she still rang them. Serve her right¹ if she was murdered because of the dog.

My father is still lazing about in bed. He says he is ill, but I saw he is still smoking!

lazy (adjective) – laze about (verb)

Nigel came round (зашел в гости) today. He has got a tan (загар) from his Christmas holiday. I think Nigel will be ill soon from the shock of the cold in England. I think Nigel's parents were wrong to take him abroad.

(after Sue Townsend)
