We are easing into the New Year. There is no need to overdo it. The year is a marathon, not a sprint! Zoe had a day off, so Ellie was at home all day. We could have had a nice long lie-in but for the fact that Di had an appointment with the physio at 08:00. Also, Jasper started yowling just before 07:00, so any ideas of an extra hour in bed were rapidly dispersed.
Di was back by 08:30, and we had a quiet breakfast as we discussed the outcome of the appointment and wandered through the overnight news. Once breakfast was finished, I completed some admin and then went to the study to process another couple of weeks' blog entries for the 2025 journal.
Late morning, I headed out for my walk. The forecast (light) snow had not put in an appearance. In fact, the skies were crystal clear, and the sun was quite blinding. The conditions were perfect for my walk. I followed my usual route, with a Sally Rigby audiobook playing through the AirPods. There are only a couple more hours or so to go in this book, but it is book one of a new series, and I will certainly keep an eye out for the follow-ons.
Back home, Di was on the phone with Kim. She, too, had spoken with the physio today, so they were comparing their respective experiences. Kim also explained that her next placement from the university is in Totton (Southampton). This would be almost impossible given the 14-hour shifts and the commute of over an hour each way. She will be speaking with her tutor to see if they can find something more appropriate.
After lunch, I returned to the study and finished editing and processing all of the blog entries for February last year. I then went back through the last couple of months' photos and pumped them through my "photofiler" to ensure that the masters were properly filed and backed up here on-site. While I pottered upstairs, Di was chatting with Denise, catching up on all of her news and her plans. It seems that 2026 will be a big year for her.
We managed a couple of hours of Kindle time before dinner, and have a quiet evening planned.
