Oops

 There was a rude awakening. There was no need for the alarm as Zoe wasn't due to start work until nine. The problem was, that Zoe woke up early and was sure she was due in work at seven. She got up in a panic, got Ellie up and phoned me at 06:45. When I had dropped back onto the bed, having hit the ceiling when the phone rang, I received the news they were just getting into the car. I lurched to my feet and put on a tracksuit before charging downstairs to unlock the door and get the coffee on (for me, not Ellie).

After breakfast, I escorted Ellie to school. Again, she was eager to get there and get started. I watched her into the class and wandered home for breakfast. 

While I was preparing this week's shopping list, I received a WhatsApp from Kim. We had a nice long chat and it was good to hear that she is getting on well with the MacBook.

Finishing the shopping list, Diane and I headed for Sainsbury's. It was wonderfully quiet in there today, so we were in and out quite quickly. Back home, with everything packed away, we grabbed some lunch and then settled down for some Kindle time until I had to go and collect Ellie. She was eager to let off some steam in the park so we walked around to the swings where the kids played together for about 20 minutes or so.

Zoe came to collect Ellie after she had finished work soon after 16:00.
