Ellie didn't wake until 07:30, by which time I had been pottering around in the kitchen for half an hour. Coffee was made, her breakfast was made, and Diane's tea was ready. Zoe had forgotten to rest Ellie's alarm at home, so she woke unnecessarily early and knocked at the door well before 08:00. We walked Ellie to school and then, as Zoe headed home, I set off on my morning walk.
I had a few chores to clear when I had finished breakfast, the most important of which was to go and fetch some cat litter from the pet store. With that done, I settled down for a few bits of research and started arranging my next Band of Brothers lunch. The date was narrowed down after some activity on WhatsApp, and with a date set, I emailed the restaurant. I also emailed the full address list of the Brothers to get the date in the diaries and request their RSVPs.
Diane was summoned by Zoe and wandered around the corner to see what she wanted. I didn't expect her back for a while, so I set off for another walk to make the most of the cloudless sky and gentle spring warmth. Carl Sagan chatted away in my ears as I walked one of my familiar routes.
I grabbed some lunch when I got home, then settled down in the Orangery with my Kindle to enjoy a few hours of reading. Diane arrived back soon after I sat down, and once I had made her some tea and she had a snack, she joined me in the Orangery.
