Theoretically, we had a lazy start to the day. The problem with theories is that they may not hold true. So it was that soon after 6 am, I was wide awake and wandered downstairs for a coffee. I had slept well, but I was wide awake. I read the overnight news and was appalled at the speech from the clown Trump in Davos. In contrast, I was immensely impressed by the 16-minute speech from Canada's Prime Minister, Carney. He is a true statesman. How I wish he were our Prime Minister.
I walked to Zoe and joined the walk to school. Ellie was carrying her project in a plastic bag so that it wouldn't get wet. (Actually, it wasn't raining, so it wasn't a big risk.) I set off for my morning walk, incorporating a couple of diversions to the normal route. I think that I will keep them as part of the route for the future.
I arrived home for breakfast just as Diane was preparing to go to the hairdresser's. I checked the tyre pressures on the car (with the current sensor problem, I wasn't confident that the Tyre Pressure Monitor was reporting correctly. Pressures were just fine, so I went and made my porridge.
Lottie turned up soon after Di left. She got on with the cleaning downstairs, and I went up to my study to do some more editing on last year's journal. I have now completed the first edit through to the end of November. I was about to start on December when Jasper started yowling, then deposited a rather unpleasant package in the litter tray. I was cleaning that up as Diane arrived back.
We had some lunch, and then completed the week's shopping list for a lightning raid on Sainsbury's. I must say that early afternoon on Thursday seemed like a good time. There was no evidence of the usual zombies shuffling up and down the aisles. I dropped Di at Zoe's on the way home so that she could go to collect Ellie from school. Meanwhile, I unpacked the shopping and stashed it away.
We managed an hour of Kindle time before dinner.
