I was up early. Zoe was back at work, which meant we were on duty for Ellie. She bundled into the house and quickly went upstairs to snuggle down with Nana. They both wandered back down about 30 minutes later.
Ellie was in a chirpy mood and spent quite a while at her new dressing table, sorting out her bows and various skin and hair products. She then declared that the Alexa Echo in her bedroom didn't seem to be working. Grandpa stepped in and reset the device, and then tested that it would respond to commands, play music, and play radio stations for her. This proved to be a success as, later, she spent an hour or so in her room listening to Capitol Radio.
I went out for my morning walk, but had to cut it short due to the buildup of pressure from the morning's coffee intake. When I got back, E`llie was making the most of the colour-by-numbers books and the collection of 108 coloured markers I had got for her Christmas. She has only done one picture so far, but it looks very good.
After lunch, Ellie sat in the lounge watching TV. Di and I looked at options for a short break in February. We accidentally booked a few days in Jersey, staying at a hotel that I last stayed in about 70 years ago during my one and only trip to Jersey. It's all booked and paid for, and I even have the parking sorted for the airport. It's nice to be organised!
I went out for another walk during the afternoon. Di had heard that her meds were ready at the Chemist, so I looped through the village so I could pick them up for her. By the time I arrived home, Zoe had been to collect Ellie, and we had a quiet evening in front of us.
