Dear Nancy,
I’m sorry for not being in touch for the past two weeks. I was as busy as a bee planning on our holiday trip to Thailand. We’re staying there for three weeks and will be leaving at the start of next month.
While I’m away, can you do me a favour? Can you stay at my house till we come back? I remember some of your cousins are visiting you during the holidays. So, they are welcomed to stay at my home with you. I’ve even bought the latest Xbox games you were telling me about when they were released.
Before I go, I’ll buy some groceries for you. I know how much you like veggies, so I will keep them in the fridge. I’ll even bake some chocolate chip cookies too. I know you’re a chocoholic.
What’s more, I like you to look after my pet hamster, Chimmy. I can’t allow him to go missing again. Remember last time when we both fell into a pond while looking for him at the park? I still laugh at the memory. He still eats like crazy, so I bought him a box full of hamster food. They are stored in the cupboard next to the fridge. Make sure you refill them as soon as the plate goes empty!
It’s time for me to go to the gym. Don’t worry, I’ll send you photos from Thailand too! Bye for now!
Love,
Daisy
