There are three of them at home: Holly, her Mum and her brother Fred. Fred is seventeen and he's keen on art. Holly is fifteen and she loves sports, her family, and her friends. There's also their dog Snowdrop.
Their mom is a writer. She works at home.
On a normal day, Mum gets up first, takes the dog out and buys fresh rolls for breakfast. Holly gets up second and makes tea.
Mum wakes up Fred. He gets out of bed and asks, 'Where's my purple shirt?' He finds his clothes (they can be anywhere), gets dressed and falls asleep again.
When they go to school, Mum stays at home and writes. Fred says she has an easy job: she just lies on the sofa and thinks, then gets up in the evening and says she's tired.
After school Holly goes for a run in the park with Snowdrop. (But not on Tuesday and Thursday, when she has acrobatics.) Fred cooks dinner for all of them. He's the best cook in the family. His food can be Italian, Spanish, Chinese or totally experimental. But some days he has art classes until 7 p.m.; then they get pizza from a pizzeria. They have dinner together and everybody talks about their day. (Well, Fred and Holly talk and Mum listens.) Nobody wants to wash the dishes. They all say 'Why always me?' But someone always does it in the end. And they all look after Snowdrop.
Then Holly goes to bed, Mum sits down and types on her laptop.
At weekends, Holly usually goes to the gym, Fred goes to museums and Mum visits her friends, but they also spend time together. They watch films and TV series. Their favourites are Dc Who and Sherlock. Sometimes Snowdrop watches them with them.
