Visit

It was another glorious start to the day.  I had to whip around to Zoe's to take Ellie to school but then it was a quiet breakfast at home.

We were expecting Jane and Trevor later in the morning so I got down to making up some salad for lunch. Now, the real problem we have with all our very welcome visitors is that they are all bringing bunches of flowers for Diane. It is a lovely thought; she loves flowers. We have, however,  run out of vases (despite ordering an extra one from Amazon). Jane had brought some lovely flowers and fortunately, I found a vase with some irises that had gone past their best. A quick shuffle and all was sorted.

We had a lovely lunch chatting about their recent holiday and the family wedding in Portugal (Michael and Emily). At Trevor's request, there was a quick tour of the iMac. Before we knew it the time had ticked around to Ellie's pick-up time. They said goodbye and we went to Zoe's.

I collected Ellie from school and then Diane and I stayed with her while Zoe and Darren went to the hospital for today's IV. Maybe it was the Junior Doctors' strike, or maybe it was the luck of the draw, but she was seen very quickly and home before we knew it.
