Audiobooks

There was a lot of rain overnight, and it was still pouring down when Ellie was dropped off. She was in a very chirpy mood this morning and seemed eager to get to school (which I heartily endorse). When we set off for the halls of academe, the rain was still thrashing down, and it was fortuitous that we had thought to put her boots on and carry her trainers in a plastic bag.

There was no early walk for me. I wasn't going to splash my way through the usual route, so I went straight home for breakfast. As I got in, Diane went off to her Cardiac Rehab session. I settled down with coffee, porridge, and the overnight news. I also switched on my audiobook and listened through to the end of "The Waiting" - what a book that was! I cannot recommend it highly enough, and I am frustrated that there is not (as yet) another book in that series.

The rain cleared up, and the sun poked its head nervously around the clouds. Diane arrived back, having had a good session, and I decided to chance the weather and get a walk under my belt. I stuck moderately close to home as I looped around the neighbourhood. This allowed me to make tracks for home should the weather break again. My new audiobook is called "The Medici Murders" by David Hewson, and it takes place in Venice.

As soon as I got home, I grabbed the keys and headed for Sainsbury's to pick up the items forgotten in yesterday's raid. After lunch, we settled in the Orangery with our Kindles until it was time to collect Ellie. She wasn't with us for too long before Zoe collected her. Ellie will be at Pete's for the weekend (with a new bed, which has her bubbling with expectation).
