Today sees the return of glorious sunny, hot weather and the return of children for the Autumn Term at school. Ellie was beside herself with excitement and apparently kept asking "Is Grandpa on his way, yet?" This started a good hour before he was due. When I did turn the corner, she was waiting on the path, knowing that now I was there, it was nearly school time. We walked her to school and milled around with the other parents and kids while waiting for the doors to open. Most kids were happy to be back and most parents were even happier they were back. Ellie rushed into the Year 2 class and greeted her teacher, Miss Yardley.
The rest of the morning saw a few domestic chores before I buried myself in the study to clear some admin. The most important item was to obtain a "Proof of Insurance Cover" for the cruise. I had read through all the documents provided by the insurance company but was not satisfied that P&O would agree that any of these were proof. After a brief phone call, they sent me a document that was incontrovertible. I think all the admin for the trip is now squared away.
We collected Ellie from school and took her along to play in the park for 15 minutes. She had had a wonderful day at school but was eager to stretch her legs. We then took her home to Zoe's. Zoe was working at home this afternoon, and Darren was about also. By going home, she was able to cool off a bit in the pool.
