Swings but not Roundabouts

Lovely crisp morning with bright blue sky today. We were up and out as soon as the rush hour had finished. We were heading for Urban-Cub's. She was on duty at the airport and Pistol Pete wanted to go fishing. Cousteau-Cub was looking after Ellie by herself until we arrived.

Once the morning had warmed up, we all went down to the park. We hadn't brought Ellie's buggy so she had to walk (or get carried). This was good as our plan was to tire her out a bit so that she would sleep after her lunch. We stopped off to feed the ducks and then strode on towards the children' play area. There were a few children there already and she was a bit shy at first. Eventually she tried the swings and the slide and several other pieces of apparatus. We decided it was time to go and headed for the gate. Ellie was having none of it. We called "Bye, Ellie" and she turned her back on us, walked the other way, waving, and called "Bye" back. Grandpa went with her and let her have another go on the slide, then she was ready to rejoin us.

Back at the house Ellie demanded "Cheese" while waiting for her lunch to be prepared, then had a minor meltdown when we produced the wrong type of cheese. She will clearly be some kind of expert gourmand. Rectified with the correct cheese (cheddar instead of Baby Bel) she was happy and lunch preparation could continue.

She was in bed having a sleep by the time Urban-Cub go home from work so we had some quiet time to have our own lunch. We headed off with Cousteau-Cub after lunch. First stop was Chichester. We had ordered a new floor cleaner from John Lewis and had been informed it was in store waiting for collection. We had a stroll round while we were there, then headed home.

Sometimes the correct answer to the question "What do you want for dinner?" is "How about an Indian?". So it was that the Gorse Fox tried his "JustEat" account to order and pay for a very satisfying feats that was delivered to the door.  This is the first time this has worked. Previously you could get the whole way through the ordering process, then it claimed that they didn't deliver to our postcode. The Gorse Fox complained about this several times. After all they had delivered to us on a number of occasions when he had phoned an order through. Finally, they seem to have fixed the problem... and we enjoyed a lovely dinner.
