I had the usual start to the morning with a good coffee prior to the school escort run. Ellie was very chirpy right up until we left the house. She wanted to use her scooter to get the school. I said, No, not today. She then had a good sulk all the way to the school gates, where she met up with some classmates and went off to play until the classroom doors opened up.
I had a dental appointment this morning so Kim came to Mum-sit for a couple of hours. By the time I got home, they had been for a walk and Diane was supervising some planting in the garden. I had picked up some ham rolls from Turner's Pies on the way back from the Dentist, so we munched through those for lunch before Kim went off home.
I went to collect Ellie from school. While waiting for the gates to open, my phone rang. It was cousin Paul. I called him back once Ellie was safely home. We had a lovely long chat, catching up on the health of all the various family members, the memories from last week's wedding in Portugal, holiday plans, and his recent purchase of a boat! Cathy was feeling unwell, but hopefully will be better and able to make the most of their last two full days in England, before returning to the US.
Diane's brother, Paul, came to visit. I had retrieved a couple of curries from my last batch and defrosted them during the day. Rice was cooked and Diane's salmon and some chips were blasted in the air fryer. It was a lovely evening, with Paul only leaving at about 21:15 to drive back to Lyndhurst where he is working at present.
