Guttered

We had a quiet start to the day. After a coffee and catching up on the news, I walked to Zoe's to accompany her and Ellie to school. I then headed off for my early morning walk. I saw all the regulars as I walked my usual circuits of the estate: the dog walkers, the chap who fetched the newspaper, and the lady with a walking stick. After about 45 minutes, I headed home for breakfast.

The morning was occupied with a few bits of admin and another session reviewing and editing last year's journal. 

Kim, who has just started her new placement in the community, dropped by. She was with a nurse and heading out to do a home visit. We had had some mail delivered that was addressed to her, so she just popped in, grabbed it, and left again.

Chris rang the bell at lunchtime. He was having problems with his WiFi signal in the garden and came to ask about our Mesh. I explained it all and he went home to look at Amazon. Then it occurred to me that I still have my old BT Mesh, so I took it over and explained how to set it up. I'm not sure it will solve his problem, but it was worth a try.

As I walked back, our new neighbours were manhandling a huge ladder so they could clean their gutters. They knocked on our door and offered to clean the detritus from our gutter... so I leapt at the offer. We no longer have a small tree growing from the gutter above my study.

The afternoon saw a little more editing of the journal and then some Kindle time. Diane went with Zoe to collect Ellie - but they were then going to collect Beau from the vets.
