Order, order

 We were up early to greet Ellie as she was dropped off at 7:40. She was full of the joys of spring and brought a sparkle to the early morning. We dropped her off at school, as usual, and di headed home while I set off on my usual walk. I was distracted by my audiobook and took a slightly different route around the loop and managed to add an extra 500m to the usual route.

The morning was consumed with domestic chores, ironing, accounts, etc. I also sent in claims to the railway company regarding the delays we suffered on Friday.

After lunch, we had a good slug of Kindle time as Ellie does athletics after school on Mondays. I had reminded her, when we dropped her off this morning, not to slow down or stop trying until after she passes the finish line. She clearly took this to heart and said that she won both of her races today.

We finished the week's shopping list. Realising how big the order was, we decided to have it delivered. I spent the last hour or so entering the 70+ items that we need this week. I now need to go through the list and clarify the items where substitutions are not appropriate.
