Booking

I was up before the 6:30 alarm (but not by much). Ellie was dropped off, but was barely conscious. She went straight up to Nana and went back to sleep. Jasper decided that sleep was not an option and started to yowl. Ellie was not amused. (Now she knows how we feel.)

The rest of the run-up to school followed the usual pattern, and we dropped her at the classroom door. Di headed home for some breakfast and then to head off to Pilates, while I enjoyed my usual morning walk. This was completed in the warm sunshine for a change.

Di had left for Pilates by the time I arrived home. I grabbed some breakfast and then, after completing the accounts, I set about a stack of ironing. This took the rest of the morning.

After some feedback from Brian, one of the Band of Brothers, we decided to have our Spring Lunch at The Betjeman Arms in St Pancras Station. I booked the venue and sent out the invitations to my distribution list. During the afternoon, I had RSVPs from all of the regulars. I'm hoping for a few responses from the "irregulars", but nothing has come through so far.

Once Di was back from Pilates, we grabbed a quick lunch and then headed off to Sainsbury's for the weekly shop. It may have been a day early, but it was an excellent time to shop. The store was deserted. Once we had arrived home and unloaded and stowed the shopping, we had a quiet hour before I started on dinner. Di, meanwhile, had a telephone call with her friend Pauline.
