First I got up very, very early, next I played with my brother a lot, next we all went in the car to Plymouth where I played ten-pin bowling for the first time in my life, next my mummy and daddy had a party and this mad woman said “here, just lean forward a bit” then the next thing I know I’m an internet star. Of course, it was only a matter of time because I’m such a good-looking boy. Oh and no, whatever it may look like, the wine glass isn’t mine, I’m just looking after it for someone else.

That’s been the day of my little friend, pictured above. Funnily enough, my own day has been remarkably similar….well, apart from the getting up really early and the playing with my brother because I don’t have a brother and neither did I get up early…..although I did play with this cutie and his brother – do you think that counts? We’ve been to the bowling alley and spent a delightful afternoon bowling with a three-year-old and a five-year-old, not to mention mummy and daddy too.

As for that party – sheer madness and mayhem, culminating in that walk back across the moor again, for the third time in three weeks. When you add in the return trip to get the car, it seems like quite a good bit of exercise. Rosie and Archie think it’s very odd. Their walks usually either start and end with a trip in the car or they don’t involve the car at all, yet this is the second time in a few days that they’ve gone for a walk without the car and found it in the road a couple of miles from home. It’s really very strange.
