Nick, Emily and I drove down to Gail and Dave's for coffee. Emily loved their fake puppy, which sleeps in a little bed and appears to breathe and snore gently. She liked brushing its fur. I'm not absolutely sure that she realised that it wasn't real. We adjourned to the garden, where she had fun collecting small red apples.
Leaving there we went through some very heavy showers on the drive to Hereford. We got stuck in a half hour traffic jam going into the city, so were very late eating lunch, which we had in Nutters, the cafe Fiona had shown us previously. Emily grazed from our plates of wholesome veggie food and delicious cakes. While we were there the weather cleared up nicely. In town, Nick made a lightning raid on Fat Face while I tried to entertain Emily. We swapped over and I browsed quickly in M&S and stocked up on toiletries in Boots. Nick had taken Emily back to the playground next to the pool car park, where Tom et al were now playing. I joined them later then we all came home.
Tim and I went for a run so I left Emily to have her tea with Nick in attendance. After a very good run, which was much more enjoyable for having company and even a little bit faster than on my own despite talking throughout, I found chaos at home: Emily had been in hysterics while I was gone and had not eaten any tea. Nick was just putting her to bed early, with only a few veggies to get her through the night. I groaned inwardly as I knew that could mean an early waking for me, but she has to realise that she must eat what is provided so it is the only way.
