There is little to report. Life is just ticking over at present. I was up early again so Ellie could be dropped off soon after 07:00. She had been awake since 05:00 and was bursting with energy. Once the usual morning agenda was complete, I took her around to school and then returned for my own breakfast.
The morning was occupied with the usual domestic chores and Diane had a long phone call with Marilyn. After lunch, we had some time with our books before collecting Ellie. With Zoe finishing at 15:00, Ellie wasn't with us for long.
Had an online chat with cousin Paul in the US. He's convinced that Cathy had a bout of COVID when here in the UK a couple of weeks ago. Despite multiple negative Covid tests, Paul thinks that is actually what she had. All the symptoms - and when she got home she lost her taste for a few days. He had stopped by the bank office when he was in London and they told me that it was ranging through the city.
Paul also gave me an update on his sister, Claire. Claire went to Jacksonville last week for eye surgery. She had cataracts in her bad eye and was virtually blind but the surgeon did an amazing job and she should be at 20/20 in that eye now. This will be life-changing for her. Doctors in Toronto basically said there was nothing they could do for her. Fortunately, she had a close girlfriend to take her on the week-long trip as she wouldn’t have been able to make it otherwise. That will be life-changing for Claire.
