As a modicum of normality returned, Zoe had left for work, Darren dropped Ellie off at 07:15 and we clicked back into gear. Breakfast was the first order of the day and then she went up to wash and get ready for school (under the watchful eyes of Nana). When all was done she presented herself clutching a box of board games and decided we would play “Snakes and Ladders” until it was time to leave.
Once I had deposited Ellie at the classroom door, I returned for my own breakfast and a few minor household chores. Most of the rest of the school day was spent with and update to the accounts and then a good book.
Diane came with me to collect Ellie at the end of the school day. By then, Zoe was already on her way home. Ellie munched her way through ice cream, hula hoops, and jelly while waiting for Mum to arrive. Zoe made good time and was here before 16:00 and was eager to tell us about her day (even if it was a repeat of the food hygiene standards that she had to re certify with every 6. Months at Lidl). She seemed very relaxed about the day. That’s good. The last thing you want is to be stressed at the end of the first day of a new job!
