Zoe had a late start this morning. This meant that I could stroll around the corner and meet up to escort Ellie to school. Zoe has an Excel spreadsheet for work that she wants to amend, so she showed me the basic structure so that I could give it some thought and then help her next week.
With Jasper at the Spa we had an undisturbed night. Once I had finished breakfast I started to gather the clothes I would need to pack for our tip. I'm sure I have packed too much, but I have catered for most eventualities (given the nature of our weather). Other than some last-minute items, everything is ready for the car. We plan to drop Ellie at school and then head off immediately. The forecast is dreadful, so it is likely to be an unpleasant drive.
Talking of the car, I returned to yesterday's attempt to update the SatNav. I downloaded the update material again and, on my Dell laptop, unzipped and copied all the files to the same SDCard as before. The SDCard was inserted into the requisite slot (like yesterday), and the Nav system was started. It immediately recognised the update, and I told it to install. I had to sit there while it processed the update because the car's security system wouldn't let me leave it running. An hour later, it was done, and the car now had a sparkly new set of maps.
We collected Ellie from school, and she stayed with us for dinner. I received an email from Saga Cruises regarding our planned river cruise in the Spring. jane and Trevor had also received a similar email. To make sure we got the excursions that we wanted, we decided to strike while the iron was hot. Diane and I went through the options and selected our preferred excursions. We compared them with Jane and Trevor and found that they matched pretty well. I went online and booked immediately.
