We met Kate and Imogen for a play date - Minnie was keen to show off her walking skills. She hasn't eaten much except fruit for the last two days but she isn't a huge eater anyway so I'm not worrying yet. They play lovely together but Imogen is three months older and was keen for Minnie to hold hands and run - she's not that good yet but it'll be no time before she is

After no nap yesterday afternoon Minnie made up ground and had over two hours in the afternoon.

We found a stray dog so simon took it to the vets to see if it's chipped - totally bizarrely it was registered at a house we own!!! It most definitely isn't our dog but eventually the owner was found and it's someone we went to school with! Very spooky

I went to the cinema on the night with my friends other half - simon won't watch horrors and I was dying to see Annabelle. It was petrifying. I was very tempted to leave at some points it was a very jumpy film!
