It was a bright and sunny start to the day. The forecast was very promising. I was up just before seven and started the day in my usual way with coffee and a trawl through the news. Di came down soon after, gasping for a cup of tea.
Zoe went into work for a couple of hours this morning to see how well her knee would stand up. She wasn't there too long, but I think she was relieved to see something other than her four walls.
Jasper had an appointment with the vet, so we plonked him in the carrier, and Di chauffeured him to Oving for his monthly jab. I stayed at home and, after updating the accounts, hung out the washing and waded through a pile of ironing. When Di and Jasper arrived home, Jasper took himself upstairs, and Di and I went to the local nursery and charity shop. I took the opportunity to go into the Irrigation Centre. There, the chap was most helpful, and I was soon clutching some pipe (to extend our current system) and some connectors and drippers. It was clear that the contractor we had used was not up to scratch, and I learnt more in 20 minutes from this chap than I did in a couple of days from the chaps who installed it to begin with. I just need to wait for the replacement 2-port manifold that I have on order, and I can hopefully finish the job properly.
When we got back home, Di headed out to the garden to potter, while I went for my walk. When I got back, I settled with my Kindle until it was time to start on dinner. All of the virtual paperwork has arrived from our energy supplier, so I spent a while filing this in the document management system.
