I Am A Lady

After a typically disastrous little-bike trip to the brook - when will I ever learn - where Eloise rode down to the rocks very well but point-blank refused to ride her bike home and wanted to be carried, rendering the situation impossible (have you ever tried to carry a child with two dogs on leads, pushing a bike simultaneously), we went about our business.

Firstly to the pet shop get dog food and look at the puppies and kitties and parrots and fishes and lizards, then to the vegetable shop, even though Eloise was adamant that we were fully stocked up on vegatables and didn't need any more.

Then to Paul and Carol's where I helped Paul with his numbers while Carol and Eloise did colouring, firstly in Winnie the Pooh books, but escalating to fingernails.

So pleased was Eloise with her nails that as soon as she got home and I got cooking, she sneaked into Nicole's drawers and got out the lipstick to finish the job.
