Wet through

 It was decidedly damp, but not raining this morning. We trotted around to Zoe's to manage the school run. Dropping Ellie at the classroom, Di headed home, and I set off for my walk. It was important to catch up with Lisbet Salander, and I was tempted to do an extra lap of my walking route, but the early morning coffee put an end to that.

Once home, I settled down for breakfast as Di prepared to visit Specsavers to collect her new glasses. Once I had cleared away, I set off to the barbershop to get my hair cut (and listen to another chapter of my book). I also tried to drop off some expired meds at the pharmacy, but they would not take them because they contained needles. Once I had been papered in the barbershop and was looking like a film star (Bell Lugosi), I headed home, and as I left, it started to rain. By the time I was halfway, it was pouring, and the bag in which I was carrying the meds had disintegrated. By the time I arrived home, I was soaked through and had to get changed. (You can't beat the British Summer... at least not without escaping to Portugal).

After lunch, I returned to yesterday's exercise regarding cruises. I faffed about looking at various options, various routes, and various cruise lines. In the end, Di and I home in on one and I sent the details to Jane and Trevor. Would they be interested? Should we consider it?

The way things worked out, we have accidentally booked a 14-night cruise to Norway and Iceland on Arcadia during the summer of 2028. We have also managed to book the aft corner suites with the wrap-around balconies. Now, other than paying for it, we just have to wait for 2 years!
