We had another very disturbed night with Ellie. I was, again, relegated to the back bedroom so that she could sleep with Nana. I wouldn't mind if the mattress were a bit firmer, but with my weight, it seems very soft, and I wake up with a back ache.
We had had some rain overnight, and it continued through the morning until nearly 11:00. I was up at my usual time, and Diane came down some 90 minutes later. Ellie didn't emerge until well after 10:00. I spent some time doing more research into her paternal ancestors and found a few more G-grandparents. This particular branch of the family was geographically static in a small cluster of Wiltshire villages for many generations. It does make research so much easier. This afternoon, I printed out a pedigree chart stretching back 13 generations on my A3 printer. I still had to splice the 7 separate sheets together, but it might just fit on Ellie's bedroom wall (if not, Zoe will have to get a bigger house).
Ellie was a lot better today, but still not ready for school. We did convince her to do some maths practice online today so that her teacher would see she hasn't been idle. Hopefully, she'll be all right for Friday (when her class has an outing to the beach).
At lunchtime, I went for a walk. I had a birthday card to post and some of Di's meds to collect. It gave me an opportunity to catch up on the audiobook that I had been listening to... and to finally get some exercise after the last few blistering days.
Ellie is back with Zoe overnight... so I should get a chance to sleep in my own bed (fingers crossed).
