We had the last early start of the week. Ellie bounded into the house and was eager to show me the pages she had done from a Maths test book. She had done well, but we needed to clarify a couple of things about fractions that she hadn't appreciated. We took her off to school at the usual time and Di headed home while I went for my walk.
My pre-breakfast walk did not follow the usual route. I arrived at the path that circles the lake and found my path blocked by two swans and their cygnets. I tried to ease slowly and quietly past but they were not happy. They started to hiss and stamp their feet. I decided that discretion was needed, did an about-turn and developed a new route!
We were later than usual heading off to Sainsbury's. It was the usual raid but seemed to cost much more than usual today. That wasn't helped by the requirement for a tank of petrol on the way out. We managed to find homes for all the shopping and then stopped for some lunch. I then wrote up yesterday's blog before we settled in the Orangery with our Kindles. I finished another book just before we went to collect Ellie and her friend Bonnie from school. Zoe had finished work early so the girls weren't with us for long.
Di had a nice long chat with Denise while I prepared dinner. A quiet evening is planned.
