Playing Away

The day started in the time-honoured fashion, and we enjoyed the early morning sunshine as we walked to Zoe's to collect Ellie for school. Having dropped her at the classroom door, Di headed home and set off for my walk. I had timed it pretty well, and my audiobook came to an end as I was turning into the Crescent on the way home.

Being Thursday, we headed to Sainsbury's for a sparse shop. As we will be away, we didn't need too much and were in and out very quickly.

The nice couple who visited yesterday phoned. They cannot fit us in before we leave, but they asked if they could complete the job next week while we are away. They will then return to check we are happy with the work when we get home. We agreed and have every confidence that the job will be done properly.

After some admin and some lunch, we settled with our Kindles until it was time to collect Ellie. She burst out of the classroom with a note inviting her to be in the Athletics team. We acted amazed and surprised and congratulated her. It does mean that her Monday afternoon appointment will have to be changed, but Zoe was already on top of this.

We headed home, where Di started to prepare Jasper's "stuff" ready for his Spa Break. I settled back with my Kindergarten until it was time to prepare dinner.

A quiet evening is planned.
