A literary exercise in third person.

Today, gentle readers, we return to the exciting life of the rare and lovely Jobie.
Today, being Sunday, Jobie had the use of a car, and so after polishing off some scratch marks that she had caused a few months ago, she set out for the Gordon's house. She found that travelling on Eastlink, towards Dandenong, was busier that she'd seen it before, but concluded that because the weather was so nice (hardly any clouds) they must all be on their way to the beach. She arrived to find the Gordon still asleep and had to use the spare key to let her self in. After an episode of Sarah Jane Adventures (I like it, so there!), a trip to a bakery, and lunch was had. Then the Jobie and the Gordon wondered around the market that was there and looked at all the knitted, beaded and pretty things. They were waylaid by a chatty old lady at one of the stalls, but escaped after learning about the difficulties she had had this morning with the placement of her stall and how her usual stall partner was visiting her sister. Very informative and useful information. Things were looked at, tried on, and eventually discarded as overpriced and easy enough to do oneself.
After realising the time (the Jobie had work at 3) they went back to the Gordon's house and parted ways.
Work was worked, ginger beer plants were fed (day 4), and dinner was had.
Today was an exciting day for Jobie's ginger beer plant, it's started to bubble! That means it's fermenting and not just sitting there getting more sugary and gingery everyday. What a good little plant!
Till tomorrow, gentle readers!
