Back to work

If I hadn't retired, I would be going back to work this morning. Well, you know what you can do with that concept! 

Ellie had decided she didn't want an early start this morning, so she slept here last night. I was up just before seven, but we let her sleep until half past. The normal procedures were followed to ensure she was up and about, washed, dressed, and fed. We walked her to school and left her at the classroom.

Diane went home, and I went off for my walk. This gave me the chance to listen to the second chunk of my latest audiobook, "The Critic" by Peter May. I must say that I'm hooked already. I was out for almost an hour, then returned home for breakfast.

Diane started on some ironing while I arranged the annual service and MOT for the Skoda, booked my railway tickets for next week's Band of Brothers lunch, and caught up with some bills. Trevor called; the travel agent had been on to him and suggested a couple of particular cruises for 2027. He was driving, so I said I would have a look at what was on offer. Exchanging messages with him later, I think we both concluded that, though the ship was right, and the suites were right, the cruises in question didn't float our boat, so to speak. I think more research is needed.

After lunch, we managed to get some Kindle time before going to collect Ellie and take her home.
