We have had a very sociable day today, with Elsie seeing lots of her baby friends – not that she seems bothered about being friendly with any of them. First we went up to Susan’s house and saw her baby Sorcha (what an ace name - even though she’s never heard of the warrior woman in Willow) and then we went into town to meet the NCT ladies and their babies Thomas, Eadie and Angharad. Elsie was in a very good mood for most of the day, although she did protest when I put her into her sling at first – I think mostly because she can’t get her hand in her mouth when she’s in it.

I am still putting the E45 on her face, it is looking better but a bit dry now.

We are just about to treat Elsie to some more episodes of 24 – she seemed to quite enjoy it last night! Or maybe she just respects the fact that no-one should interrupt the best TV programme of all time!

I have been less mad with my photo taking recently, so we are having to go back to oldish ones.
