We had another gentle start to the day. After my morning coffee, I wandered to Zoe's and joined the walk to school with Ellie. It was bitterly cold today. The temperature didn't rise above 4°C, and there was a very cold wind. The weather app on the phone suggested the temperature felt like -6, and I wouldn't argue.
By the time I returned from my morning walk, Diane had already left for her Cardiac Rehab session. I settled down for breakfast, caught up on the accounts, and then called the company that supplied the new kitchen table. I explained the problem I was having in assembling it, and the chap put me on hold to go and discuss it with someone. A few minutes later, he said they would send someone out to assemble the table properly (for a mere £75). This seemed like a good deal, bearing in mind they are based in Leicester and on top of travel time, it is still likely to take them an hour to sort things out. I paid the money, and now we wait for next Friday when he is scheduled to arrive.
When Diane arrived home, I left her with a cup of tea while I drove into LA. Our water softener uses salt blocks in the regeneration process, and I had run out. I loaded the car with 12 bags - which should last about 15 months - and headed back home.
Early afternoon saw some Kindle time before I walked to school to collect Ellie. She was in a bit of a grump because a) they had given her the wrong lunch, and b) she wanted me to take her home to her house, and I had the effrontery to say no and took her to our house. She soon snapped out of it when she had enjoyed a cuddle with Nana.
