Calendar

I commented about Jasper keeping an eye on our Google Calendar. I now suspect that Ocado, similarly, monitors our Calendar. On days, like today, when we have appointments or plans during the morning, they always turn up at the very end of their time slot. On days when it doesn't matter, they turn up early. Ocado hit the very end of their delivery slot today. This meant we were too late to visit Sainsbury's before Di's blood tests. We had to hold fire, get the tests done and then raid Sainsbury's. In the grand scheme of things, this was unlikely to hit the evening news. It was, however, a disruption to the fabric of the Universe.

After lunch, we managed to get an hour or so with our books before venturing out into the afternoon heat to collect Ellie. It was in the high 20s again today by the coast and a lot hotter inland - in fact, it was the hottest day of the year according to the Met Office. We let Ellie run off some energy at the park... but only for about 10 minutes. It was too hot for her to rush about for too long.

Darren came along to collect Ellie, soon after 16:00.
