Watching

 Ellie woke just before 6:30 but was happy to settle back down in her room with the iPad. She had been disturbed by the storm that was rattling through at the time. We hadn't noticed it on the front of the house.

We were up and about sharpish. The decorator was due at 8:15 and we obviously had to get Ellie ready and off to school. The Silver Vixen dealt with the latter, and the Gorse Fox looked after the decorator. 

Sam seems like a nice lad (well, as a fanatical Spurs supporter, you expect nothing less). He got straight down to work laying a plastic film over the floors and carpets, and covers over the doors. He then started to sand down the walls and the woodwork, then went round filling any holes or settlement cracks. Fortunately, there were very few that needed attention. By mid afternoon he was done for the day and will return tomorrow morning.

The Gorse Fox spent some time in the study. A program that he uses to file photos correctly was troubling him. It seemed to be a little cavalier in overwriting the original file date. He ripped it apart and examined what was going on. There was, it happens, a small bug. It didn't affect every photo, but there were instances where the time filed would be one hour out. Bug squashed, he filed a new batch of photos.

Ellie had "Cheer Club" after school. Even though she is now back, we still have no idea what it was! When asked, she says she doesn't know. Urban-Cub has an early start again tomorrow, so we have Ellie here again tonight.
