 I was up at 6:30 and was greeted by another stunning morning. The sun was shining, and no cloud dared sully the firmament. It was about 6 °C, but the temperature would quickly rise. After our usual morning preamble, we walked to Zoe's to escort Ellie to school. There was an initial drama over the shorts that she was going to wear, but after several changes, Ellie made a decision, and we set off for school.

I set off for my usual walk as Diane returned home for her breakfast. It was a gorgeous morning to be out walking, and I was tempted to just keep going, but my need for coffee and some porridge took precedence. 

Di spent the morning on the phone with Denise. I spent the time giving some consideration to the challenge that Zoe has been given. She has been asked to do some analysis and some research into the general subject of home deliveries. Whilst I don't know the details, I can advise her on how to go about handling a challenge like that. I spent the morning providing an outline for a "consulting" document that defines the problem, explains the approach taken, the participants, the solutions considered and so forth. Hopefully, that will provide a structure for her response.

Just as I finished, Kim arrived. She had a day off and wanted to catch up after missing Mother's Day because of work. She was with us for a good couple of hours, and it was nice to just sit and chat. When she left us, she went on to Zoe's to keep her company for a while. We retired to the Orangery with our Kindles until it was time to collect Ellie from dancing and take her home.

We are home now and have just finished dinner.
