Spent loads of time outdoors today, which was great. Wandered up to the allotment- what a state- and then did a bit of tidying in the garden back home.

Out for another ride this afternoon. Managed to persuade Cara to come out with us again after she'd been out all morning. Poor Osh. He was really scowling! Wendy and Jason caught us up so we all had a pootle round the woods. Lime insisted on being in front the whole ride. Then we dropped in to see Andrew and Kate before tea.

Tobes missed his nap so he was really grumpy at bedtime, saying "my not saying I love you" and wouldn't give me a kiss goodnight so I stole one! I wasn't allowed to read him a story till his Daddy had read him one and he kept pointing at the seat in the corner telling me I had to sit over there and not on his bed.

Then I had to root around our bedroom for a cardboard rocking horse shaped tag from some clothes he had yesterday that he insisted on having or he couldn't go to sleep!! It's really bizarre the things he latches on to and he's so particular! Wonder who he gets it off!
