It was an early start. Not because it was necessary, but because I was wide awake by 6:00 and got up 15 minutes later when Jasper started to get vocal. The weather looked wonderful again, though there was still a chill in the air.
We walked around to Zoe's and escorted Ellie to school. I then set off on my morning walk. This was made a little more interesting by watching a neighbour reverse his car into a car outside his neighbour's house. No damage was done, and they were all chatting when I circled back around.
Back home, with breakfast finished, we loaded the car with a collection of books and toys and took them to the local charity shop. They took most of what was on offer, but there were several items they couldn't accommodate and will have to be disposed of separately. I stopped off at the irrigation company to buy a hole punch for the drip bayonets. Once home, I fitted 4 more drippers to the existing hose to water Di's newest plants.
City Irrigation recommended a local company that may be able to help me replace the drip hose. I called them and was pleased when they called back within about 30 minutes. I explained our dilemma, and they said they would check their diary and call to arrange a visit. They did! I will report further after their assessment on Wednesday.
We managed about an hour of Kindle time after lunch and then went to collect Ellie. We took her to her usual Monday appointment in Chichester. While waiting for her, I managed to complete another book.
We've just finished dinner (salmon and prawn linguine with white wine and cream sauce), and now expect a quiet evening.
