Wet

Ellie was dropped off early again this morning. She was surprisingly alert, and after a quick cuddle, went upstairs to torment Nana. After she finished breakfast, and she had completed her ablutions, she announced that she needed her School Councillor badge. She and I walked back to find the badge so she could finish her school preparations. I dropped her off at the classroom and went straight home.

There was no time for a morning walk. We had to get Jasper back to the vet this morning.  It took a few minutes to find his latest hiding place, but we managed to drop him into his carrier without any fuss. We were back home by about 10:00, and the vet had promised to phone with the test results later in the day. (The results were fine, and he seems to have no underlying conditions other than old age).

Net on the morning's agenda was a raid on Sainsbury's. It didn't seem too busy while we were there, and we managed to complete our shopping fairly quickly. When we arrived home, Lottie was in full swing cleaning downstairs. We dumped the shopping bags in the kitchen and then got out of her way.

After a light lunch, I changed into my wet-weather gear and went out for a walk. The rain had set in and became more intense throughout the afternoon. I seemed to be the only person stupid enough to be out walking in the rain, and when I arrived home, managed a 20-minute break before going back out with ~Di to collect Ellie from school. We got a call from Zoe to say she had just arrived home, so we took Ellie straight home.

Back in the comfort of dry clothes, in our own home, we settled down for some Kindle time. I managed to finish another book before heading to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
