« A Saturday to forget » — Mia's blog, Cardiff.

On Saturday, I woke up at half past nine, an hour late, because I had forgotten to set my alarm. I got dressed in two minutes, but when I looked for my bus pass, I couldn't find it anywhere. I gave up and asked Mum to drop me off at the swimming pool, where I was meeting Ella.

Ella didn't show up. I waited for twenty minutes, then I found out on my phone that she had sent me a message the night before: the swimming session was called off because the pool had run out of chlorine! I decided to carry on with my morning anyway and hung out in town.

In a shop, I tried on a green jumper, but I turned it down: too expensive. On the way back, I ran into Mr Evans, my old primary school teacher. He asked me what I wanted to do when I grew up. I told him I would like to become a vet because I love looking after animals. « Never give up, » he said.

At home, I finally came across my bus pass… in the pocket of my pyjamas. I wrote it down in my diary: « Next Saturday, set the alarm and check your messages! »
