I was up early for Ellie's drop-off. She was not happy about the early start and charged straight upstairs and got into her bed. She didn't go back to sleep; however, she switched on the TV! We gave her half an hour before calling her down for breakfast. From that point, everything ticked over as usual. We walked her to school and then, as Di went home, I set off on my walk. As I was completing my second circuit, my audiobook came to an end. It was like losing an old friend; it has been such an excellent book. The next book was already lined up (different author), and I fired that up for the remainder of my walk.
Once home, I grabbed breakfast and then started on some domestic chores and some admin tasks. It was while I was doing these that a message came in from the Doctor's Surgery. It informed me that I was due for my annual MOT, and I should contact the surgery to make an appointment. It also provided a questionnaire for me to complete. I phoned the surgery and spent the next 20-25 minutes doing my Debbie Harry impression as I was ‘Hangin' on the Telephone’. I had my calendar open for January, expecting that there would be little chance of anything earlier. I was wrong. I managed to snag an appointment on 23rd December. With that date nailed into the calendar, I set about the questionnaire. Height, weight, and waist measurements were taken and recorded. Blood pressure was checked and recorded. Alcohol units per week were revealed. Before I knew it, the whole questionnaire was done and submitted.
After lunch, we retired to the Orangery. The sun had been out, and the temperature was quite pleasant. We sat and read our Kindles until the sun dipped below the nearby houses and the temperature dropped. It was soon time to collect Ellie from football. She was quite hyper as she came out, but soon calmed down as we walked her home.
