Mum's had me busy for a couple of days. I'm posting this now before she has me at it again. I spent all day yesterday in the garden - digging. Mum said as I was so fond of it I could make myself useful and do some planting for her. Man, she can stay mad for so long! So never mind my revising. That obviously doesn't bother her. I can fail all my exams, just as long as I pay for my one little excursion into the neighbours garden!

Anyway, it gave me a good position to watch them from. While we were digging (Mum helped - she might be mad but she wasn't going to let me completely wreck her vegetable garden) they weren't. Well they weren't going to arouse suspicion, they're not stupid. But... (and here's the weird thing)... one of them was watching us all the time! No kidding. I kept looking over to the back of thier house and there was always someone looking out of the windows. At one point Julie, that's the daughter, the one who's in the same year as me at school, came and sat outside with a cup of tea and a Science revision book (just to rub my nose in it). Only it wasn't really warm enough for sitting outside. The sun was out, sure, but there was a cold wind. And she didn't even show the first sign of a goosebump.
