Plans change

 Ellie was dropped off as usual, however, it was Darren doing the drop-off despite Zoe sending a message last night to say it would be her. Oh well, plans change. We got her ready for school and expected a wet walk, based on the weather forecast. It was as dry as a bone. Oh well, plans change.

The excitement for the morning was Diane's cardiac assessment at the local Community Centre. As we got our bits together, ready to walk the 600m to the Centre, the phone rang. The cardiac team were in the middle of an incident. The assessment would have to be rescheduled. Oh well, plans change!

We drove up to the garden centre where Diane wanted to pick up some campanula. It was a quick but successful trip. On the way back we decided to head straight to West Park and go for another walk.

Again, the weather was kind to us and we seemed to walk under a blu patch of sky surrounded by clouds. It was lovely and warm, and like yesterday, it was almost deserted.

We went a bit farther than yesterday. We reached the pier and strolled out as far as we could. (They are laying a new deck at the seaward end of the pier so that was blocked off).

We returned the way we had come. All in all, this was just a fraction under 3km. Again, this was a new "best" for Diane's recuperation.

Back home we were greeted by Pauline's son Carl, who was cleaning our widows, gutters and soffits. Just as he finished we had a short sharp shower.

The early afternoon was spent with our books until we had to collect Ellie.
