really busy right now, I’m still writing for you. What a good friend,
right? Ha ha!

We are all getting ready for my grandmother’s seventieth

birthday. There is a big family party this evening in the garden,
with about 40 people. Some of my aunts, uncles and their
children are here because today we’re preparing for the party.
My dad is putting up lights in the garden at the moment. My
uncles are organizing tables and chairs. My mother is cooking in
the kitchen and my aunts are helping her.

My cousins are here too. However, they aren’t helping much.

They’re playing computer games right now. Are you wondering
