Jasper decided to start a football chant soon after six this morning. That was it. I was awake. I tried to stay put, but by 6:15 I decided coffee was necessary.
We both walked to Zoe's to collect Ellie and take her to school. It was very bright, though there was high cloud. There was also a bitter wind, and 8 °C felt more like 3 °C. After we left Ellie, Di went straight home, and I set off for my walk. The cold wind encouraged me to walk faster to generate some warmth. I knocked about 30 seconds off each kilometre.
Back home, I grabbed some breakfast and another coffee before heading into the garden to use the leaf-blower (in reverse) to vacuum up the fallen leaves while they were dry and crispy. It didn't take long, but it did half fill the garden bin.
Next on the agenda was to return a parcel at the Post Office for Diane and pick up her latest batch of medicines from the Chemist. While I was in the village, I took the opportunity to get my hair cut (it's always an item on my checklist before a holiday). Meanwhile, Di was wading through her pre-trip ironing.
The early afternoon was spent doing some paperwork (though, strictly speaking, it was all digital). We managed some Kindle time before going to collect Ellie from school. We deposited her at home with Zoe and headed home to finish the paperwork and ironing before dinner.
