we have been letting alfie the tortoise into the rabbit pen on a sunny day whilst we were out in the garden, however, nightmare, he vanished! we let BB go off to cub camp not knowing, and hoping she would have a fab time. DH and i spent some time surrupticiously looking, but sb realised he was missing. 
saturday SB and I had planned a girly shopping day 
she had money burning a hole in her pocket for a 3ds that she had been saving up for nearly 2 years! we had a fab time. was shocked to find myself in a top shop changing room after all those years – and it is way more expensive! so I bought her some clothes of entirely her choice at topshop, ark, miss selfridge, m and s [tho mostly 'essentials' ] Sh bought a 3ds – preowned, and a couple of games, and then some bits at accesorize. we ate lunch out – toasted ciabbatta – and then later had an iced frappaccino or iced mocha and cake we mooched around the market and watched strret performers. we had a fab day next time will eat at the italian
thankyou sb
SB got to chhose the film and dinner – so we had confessions of a drama queen [v girly!] and pizza. when she went up to bed she then had a wobble about leaving us to go to france so i snuggled her until she fell asleep – awwww
next morning sb did some home ed – mostly music theory – whilst i finished a shift for kentwell. we then played a boardgame together
and after lunch bb came home
and after telling us all about it and showing us the tray she had made, she persuaded me to go to the park
[ps we found alfie on tues]
Sounds like an idyllic day with SB… I think *I’d* be wobbly about leaving you after such a lovely time
And great news about Alfie xxx
So happy Alfie is home!
yep we are too
he han’t wandered far, but impossible to find in undergrowth, but nice sunny day got him trolling about visibly
