It had been a very cold night and the lawns and all the cars were covered in frost when I opened the shutters this morning. It was early and Ellie was still in her PJs when she was dropped off. Ellie dumped her stuff in the kitchen and charged upstairs to see Nana. Normal service had resumed and the usual morning protocols were followed.
With Ellie dropped at school, I headed out for my walk. I added an extra section to the usual route, enabling me to arrive home just as my audiobook finished. I had timed it to perfection. After some breakfast (and another coffee), I started on my list for the day. I had to clean stains, left by Jasper, on several carpets. This didn't take too long, and successfully returned the carpets to their normal colour. Next, I had to check and if necessary, re-pressurise the water tank for the central heating. The check was done quickly, and there was no further action required.
Diane had spent much of the weekend having a clear-out in her sewing room. Several large piles of books appeared at the bottom of the stairs, along with some large sacks of other odds and ends. I loaded them into the car and we took them to the charity shop. They were delighted with our donations, particularly as Diane had sorted the books by subject (craft) area.
Returning home, I updated the accounts and then returned to my education on Obsidian. I delved and played for several hours, but feel that I have got to grips with the tool and will certainly use it as an adjunct to my use of Apple Notes. When I finished educating myself, I managed about 30 minutes of Kindle time before leaving to collect Ellie from school. The sun was shining, completely unhindered by clouds, and whilst cool (9C) it was a glorious afternoon. I took Ellie to the park so she could let off some steam before coming home.
Zoe came along to collect Ellie soon after four o'clock.
