We took Abi and Pip down to the cafe for cake and coffee. It was Abi’s birthday, and that was her request. No, she didn’t want wine and cheese - she’s got a three day (long hours) working stint starting tomorrow. 

Back on those high stools! Most uncomfortable, but I could also lean back on a wall, so that made it slightly better.

Yes, Archie shook and shivered and quivered like he was terrified for much of the time, before calming down. Pip loves being in cafes, like most normal dogs.

Another two litres of water drunk. Awaiting the miraculous improvements in my general wellbeing…
