Ellie was dropped off soon after seven. Despite her friend Sofia having tonsillitis, Elle was hale and hearty and requested two cartons of fruit shakes and a bacon sandwich for breakfast. We walked her to school in bright sunshine and got caught by a downpour of rain as we returned home.
Thursday morning saw the usual delivery from Ocado. As we had nothing planned today, they turned up early. We then headed to Sainsbury's for the top-up. Sainsbury's seemed to be fairly empty, but the corpses that were there seemed to be devoid of ideas regarding their shopping, and oblivious to the chaos they were causing around them. Somehow, I remained (relatively) calm and resisted the increasing temptation to blast my way through these zombies scattering them to the winds with my trolley. Maybe next week I should take a Katana!
The rest of the morning was spent painting the parts of the model that Ellie will build to illustrate a Tudor house from the time of the Great Fire of London. When, by mid-afternoon, we had collected Ellie from school we started the construction phase. We can now see how it will come together. Ellie, however, ran out of time and will have to do more tomorrow.
I received a phone call from the hotel in which we will celebrate Diane's landmark birthday. We confirmed our room allocation and our preferred times for breakfast and dinner. I must confess that we are both looking forward to this short break.
