A Semblance of Normal

We are back to a semblance of normality. Zoe was on a 09:00 start which meant she had time to drop Ellie at school. In turn, this meant that I didn't have to get up at 06:45 and could stroll around the corner at 08:20. A relaxing start to the day. (Though the northeast wind was bitterly cold).

As soon as Ellie was dropped at school, I headed off to Sainsbury's. Having not shopped last week, and having run the fridge down to empty, a major restock was required.  It took me about an hour to fill the trolley with all of the items we required, but I was soon home.

It was time to collect Jasper. Mark had called to let us know his drive was flooded and we should alert him when nearby, and then he would bring Jasper out to us. It all went remarkably smoothly and we managed to talk to him about a booking for late November. Back home, with Jasper patrolling his domain, I phoned The Victoria and managed to change the dates we had reserved last week, The change means that we all get the rooms we prefer.

Trevor's iMac arrived, so we exchanged various messages about setting it up. He now seems pretty well set.

We met Ellie from school and she has spent an hour or so on various aspects of maths homework. Zoe has just been along to collect her.
