It was a funny old day. I was up early to greet Ellie, and once she had seen today's Elf on the Shelf tableau, she rushed upstairs to see Nana. The rest of the morning preparations followed the usual agenda, and we walked her to school. I set off for my walk. It was wet and blustery, but the rain eased as I looped around my usual route. By the time I arrived back home, I was quite hot, having underestimated the temperature.
Plans for the rest of the day were thrown into disarray. Diane was meant to be meeting Pauline for lunch, but Kim called to ask if we could pick Jon up from the doctor's if necessary. Of course, we could. I would take Diane to the restaurant and hang onto the car to collect Jon, if needed. In the meantime, I would rush into the village and get my haircut and pick up some Christmas stamps. The barber's was busy, and the Post Office was rammed. I walked back home. I then drove Di to the restaurant and came home to await the call.
The call didn't come - Kim was able to bring Jon home. I grabbed some lunch and then walked back into the village. The barber's had a spare chair and I let him loose on my flowing locks. I then managed to get to the Post Office without any queues and walked back home grasping the stamps we needed. I took the opportunity of a spare 15 minutes to hang the picture we had bought for ourselves for Christmas while in Sidmouth.
I headed back to the restaurant to collect Di, and we had a quiet 20 minutes in the lounge before I had to get Ellie from school. She wasn't with us for too long before Zoe arrived to collect her.
