It was foul, first thing. The rain was heavy, and as there was little or no wind, it just seemed to fall in sheets. We were up early so that Ellie could be dropped off. She was in a very chirpy mood and was eager to get back to school after the half-term break. We dropped her off at the usual time and headed straight home - I wasn't going walking while it was that wet!
Back home, I opened up the package that Zoe had brought around. It was the latest journal to add to our collection. I poured over the book as I was eating breakfast, and I must say that I am very pleased with the results.
With breakfast done, I delved into some admin tasks that had not been addressed while we were away. By the time the admin was cleared, the rain had stopped, and it was brightening up outside. I grabbed my fleece and my AirPods and headed out for a walk. I was only gone for about 45 minutes, but the third coffee I had consumed with breakfast was acting as an impetus to return home earlier than planned!
We had our usual Kindle time after lunch and then went to collect Ellie from school She wasn't very pleased when I said we would not be stopping at the park (despite the warm sunshine). Diane, Kim, and Zoe are going out to see Giovanni Pernice in Southsea this evening. I had to get back from school to prepare dinner for Diane and Zoe before they went to collect Kim. Diane, meanwhile, wanted to wash her hair and get ready for the outing.
Ellie is staying with us overnight and will obviously be Grandpa-sitting this evening.
