Forecast

 The forecast had suggested a dry, but windy day. Pah! So much for the forecast. It was miserably grey when I got up, though it was dry. We went to escort Ellie to school, as usual, only to find that her friend Poppy had enjoyed a sleepover last night. They were both very bubbly this morning, and they were eager to get into class.

After we dropped the girls off, Diane went home and prepared to go to her Cardiac Rehab, while I set off on my usual walk. My audiobook continued to enthral me. I walked for the usual 75 minutes or so, then returned for my breakfast and another coffee. 

After some admin, I went back out for another walk in the miserable dizzle that seemed to blanket the area. I picked up Di's meds at the Chemist's and then set out for home via the long route. 

After lunch, we had some Kindle time before I went to collect Ellie (leaving Di to rest after a hard week). As it's her birthday on Sunday, she was handing out sweets at the end of the school day. Being the end of the term, the kids were wildly excited to be done and ready for the Easter break.

I left Ellie at home ( she is off to Pete's for the weekend) and wandered home. The miserable drizzle had been unpleasant, but it was nice to get home and lock down the house for the evening.

My old school has an "Inspiration Day" coming up. They were looking for volunteers to talk about their careers. I dismissed it at first, then I started to wonder, and finally, after chatting with Diane, I volunteered to participate and talk about my working life. (Relaistically, they may not be in the slightest bit interested, but at least I have shown willing.)
