After an excellent night's sleep, I was up at 6:30. I had woken naturally and didn't want to disturb Di, so snuck downstairs quietly. Despite this, by 7:00 she was also downstairs clutching a cup of tea. I walked around to Zoe's to join the walk to school. Ellie still seemed very pleased to see me, knowing a degree of normality was returning. (Not that anyone would accuse me of being normal).
Back home, I demolished a bowl of porridge and we set off to claim Jasper from the Cat Whisperer. Knowing that we were on a tight schedule, he was waiting as we pulled up and Jasper was tucked up in the car for the journey back. As usual, he moaned and chatted the whole way home.
Next on our agenda was a trip to the hospital for a pre-assessment appointment for Diane. The hospital site was in chaos. There were cars everywhere and queues at all of the car parks. I dropped Di off at the door and went searching for a parking slot. My phone rang. It was Di telling me not to bother, but to come and get her. That was a quick assessment, I thought. She got in the car and explained that the appointment letter was not an appointment letter. It was sent out in error and she is still on the waiting list. What an impressive administrative function they have. They knew about and had reported this problem, but hadn't thought to send out corrections.
Back home, the umpteenth load of laundry was processing or being hung out in the sunshine and we settled down for a bite of lunch and then some Kindle time.
We collected Ellie from school, stopping at the park on the way home. Once home, Di sat with Ellie to make sure she finished her homework. Ellie then went out to play while I prepared dinner for us all.
Zoe came along just as we finished eating. Ellie was scooped up and off they went.
