I don't know why delivery drivers start work so early.
Whenever something big gets delivered it seems to arrive at daybreak, and today was no exception.
It was barely light when I was cruelly snatched from sleep by the sound of a truck engine revving and people shouting: things like 'Back a bit… a bit more… more… too much!'
I pulled on my jeans and rushed downstairs to find an enormous truck delivering a huge load of sand – dumping it all over all over the front drive – with Wilson, Byron and Nërp apparently supervising.
I demanded to know what was going on, but Wilson just said that everything was under control and there was nothing for me to worry about.
If only I could really believe that…

• He speaks s o o o s l o o o w l y that it took us two days even to learn his name – we still don't know much about him, but he seems happy here.
