Little Tornado

I was up well before seven, but there was no particular imperative that drove the early start. We had a quiet breakfast, I did some admin and we prepared for the raid on Sainsbury's.

We had agreed to meet Zoe at the entrance to the store and Di would go off with one trolley to do our usual weekly shop while Zoe and I went off with another trolley to do the shop for the various family guests we have tomorrow and Sunday. Zoe and I finished first and I unloaded the trolley into the car. I returned to the fray, catching up with Dinae and joining in her raid. The car was full, but we still had to visit M&S to pick up a few items we preferred from their range. 

We got home and unpacked. We immediately realised that a bottle of gin still had its security cap on, and I had forgotten to pick up the pasta. After a quick call to Zoe (who was now working), I returned to the store sorted out the security cap and collected the pasta.

After a light (but late) lunch, we settled down for an hour or so of Kindle time before I started to prepare dinner. As I write, it is all finished and the dishwasher is on. A side of salmon is cooking in the oven ready for tomorrow.

Ellie (our little tornado) has just arrived, after a week with Pete. She's had a good time and will stay with us overnight as Zoe has a late finish and early start.
