Domestic Bliss

 We all woke up around 07:00. Ellie played on her tablet for a few minutes and waited for Nana to get going. I went down and started on breakfast. Zoe turned up so that she could walk to school with us. She wasn't due to start work until lunchtime.

I returned home for breakfast and then started to look at river cruises for 2025 and beyond. The first problem was that no 2026 cruises have been released yet. The second problem was how to compare the cruises given that the inclusive list has value, but varies from one carrier to another. I decided to forget the inclusions for now and just concentrate on the itineraries, the headline cost for similar accommodation, and dates.

Having tucked a few candidate trips away in the spreadsheet, I closed the laptop. It was time to do some domestic chores. Obviously, the laundry has been almost continuous since we got home. The consequence is a pile of ironing. Being a Renaissance man, I grabbed the surf ironing board and worked through the first pile.

I had an hour or so with my book before collecting Ellie and I took her to the park on the way home from school. She wasn't with us for too long before Pete arrived to collect her for the weekend.
