Spring?

It was a gorgeous day. It was clear and the sun shone unhindered. Ellie was dropped off at the usual time and once she had eaten breakfast, and washed and dressed, she settled down for some more maths practice on the iPad before school.

Back home, after dropping Ellie, we had a quiet breakfast and awaited the Ocado delivery. That turned up early within the allotted time slot, but because of a leaking milk container, it took a long time to clean up and square everything away. We headed off to Sainsbury's and completed the "top-up". I have been considering whether this two-supplier scheme really does us any favour. I am tempted to cancel the Ocado deliveries and pick up all our shopping from Sainsbury's.

The sun continued to shine and we made the most of the lovely afternoon by sitting in the Orangery reading our Kindles and enjoying the 25C temperature.

We collected Ellie from school and spent time listening to her read and then asking questions about the story before her dinner. Zoe has just been along to collect her and confirmed that she has been given a new store. As of next Monday, she will be the Deputy at the Sainsbury's store in Shripney (Bognor Regis). Given that this is only 2 miles from home, it could not be a better location. We are all delighted.
