the kids push the grandparents aside in their desire to get near their dog. dog copes admirably despite his very small brain although he may still be traumatised by being shown to a playground full of admiring primary school kids yesterday.

peaceful morning followed by bad tempered trip to kelvingrove museum - carpetbiter1 only suggested it so she could get me to buy fudge in the shop (not a successful plan on her part); carpetbiter2 thought we were going to do an art activity (not on). i stomped home through the park with the dog.
