Publish and be Damned

With Zoe on leave, we had another leisurely start. I wandered around to meet with her and Ellie at 8:20, then walked with them to school. There has been a great deal of chatter on social media regarding the homework that had been set for Ellie's class. I was delighted to hear that Ellie had completed it all - even if she may only be one of a few.

Leaving school, I waved Zoe goodbye and headed out for my morning walk. I followed the usual route, or at least I thought I had. Actually, I must have deviated somewhere, as I covered at least 500m less than yesterday. I must concentrate more on the route and a bit less on my book. 

With breakfast finished and the shopping list committed to the phone, we headed off to Sainsbury's. We were earlier than usual, but the store was still infested by shuffling morons. Despite this, we managed to complete the shopping in a sensible time. When we got home, Lottie was just finishing off. We quickly stashed the shopping away and got out of her way. Diane went to sort out some folders for a course she just started. I went to my study to complete the revision and edit for last year's journal. With that filed away, I logged on to my "Lulu" account and sent the journal off for printing.

The company with whom we have booked our forthcoming river cruise have just released their excursions for the trip. I spent a while looking through these and creating a small spreadsheet to help visualise the options and check for any overlaps. I'll actually review the details of the excursions in the next day or so, and decide which ones are worth taking.

The end of the afternoon was dedicated to Kindle time and my 20th book of the year.
