"Father made some chocolate in the afternoon.
When I went out to wash I saw my mouse on the floor! He had got out through a hole at the top, which I afterwards blocked up.
Father grumbled at me yesterday because he said I was greedy and he made mum cry.
Got up late.
Had fire in Mother's bedroom.
Polished my leggings.
Had a high see-saw yesterday in the Sack Shed. Fell off and bumped my head."
