It was an early start today. Ellie was dropped off on Zoe's way to work for 7 o'clock. She was already fed, washed, dressed and had her hair done. There was nothing for her to do when she arrived. She sat down with the iPad and got on with her times tables practice. We dropped her off at school, promising to collect her at lunchtime (but more about that in a minute).
I wandered off for my pre-breakfast walk while Di went straight home. Just after I got home, Zoe rang. The school had called and didn't have Ellie down for school lunch today (or the rest of the week), could we sort her out with a packed lunch? Well, no; we hadn't really got anything. We went to Zoe's raided the fridge and the larder and returned to make up a packed lunch, which I took to the school.
At lunchtime (after she had eaten the packed lunch) we collected her. She had been selected to represent the school at a Golf Day with some 16 schools participating. We drove her to the Chichester Golf Centre and left her with her team. They had several hours of golf challenges ahead.
We headed on down to Selsey and after a quick look around stopped at a restaurant (The Boulevard) and found a table out on the verandah. It was good simple fare, but a fairly extensive menu. We both chose a crispy chicken wrap but I ordered some Sticky Korean Chicken Wings as an accompaniment. It really was quite delightful, sitting in the sunshine and enjoying a tasty lunch. (It was also excellent value for money).
We headed home but soon had to return to the Golf Centre to collect Ellie. We were there in time to see the awards at the end of the day - though Ellie's school didn't win anything. She, however, had had a wonderful time and I confidently expect to see her lift the Solheim Cup in years to come.
We dropped Ellie at home and once Zoe was back, we settled down in the Orangery for some Kindle time. There's no need for any dinner tonight, we are still full from lunchtime.
