Lizzie's Commonwealth Games diary - day 13

A kangaroo sneaks up on Lizzie.
Lizzie is reporting for Newsround and Sportsround during the Commonwealth Games.

She's sending back a daily diary so you can read what it's like to be a Newsround reporter at the Commonwealth Games.


Day 13

It's my last full day in Melbourne, which makes this my final diary entry.

I set off on my long journey back to the UK tomorrow afternoon and should arrive in London first thing Monday morning.

It's been a wonderful two weeks here. There's been so much to see and do.

Hopefully you've enjoyed reading my ramblings in these diaries about my fortnight in OZ.

I don't know when I'll be lucky enough to return to this fine country.

It's probably be many years before I do. I'm looking forward to coming home though. I really miss my family and my rabbit Curtis.

No doubt he hasn't even noticed I've been gone!

Rabbits are like that.

Sometimes you think they know exactly who you are. They can jump on your lap and lick you while you watch the telly and I'm convinced he deeply loves me.

Then the next minute he's scratching me before hopping off to chew my best pair of shoes. But that's life I suppose.

Our work here is almost done.

The only thing left to do now is for Jake to present Sportsround tonight at 10.45pm our time - 11.45am your time.

I'm also going to making a live appearance on the show with all the latest medal news.

We do the show from the roof of the International Broadcasting centre.

It's not exactly a glamourous location and there's only one microphone which will be interesting. But it has a lovely view of the city.
