Screwed

We had a leisurely start since we didn't have to get up for Ellie. Having said that, I was up by 6:45 and Di was up just after 7:00. At the allotted time, I wandered to Zoe's to join the walk to school. We had a quick word with her teacher as there has been some confusion over TT Rockstars. Her teacher, whose birthday it was today, said that there was nothing to worry about. "Ellie isn't even on my radar; she is an angel and always completes all her homework." That was a good start to the day.

I headed off for my pre-breakfast walk, doing several loops of the estate (but avoiding the lake in case I disturbed the swans).

One of the doors to our utility cupboard has a loose handle. I was determined to tighten it so grabbed a stool and some tools and sat down to take the handle off and refit it. This proved to be a fruitless exercise as the through bolts were missing (I removed all but one last time I tried this). The only solution was to raid Amazon and get some replacement bolts sent. They should arrive tomorrow.

I went out for another walk so that I could collect some of Di's meds as I looped back through the village. I was out for an hour or so, but it was a lovely bright warm day and it was a pleasure to be out.

After lunch we had the usual Kindle time, I'm now well into my 60th book of the year and have several more stacked up on the Kindle to follow. Zoe and Ellie dropped in after school. Ellie is off to Pete for the weekend and then she and Zoe are off to Center Parcs for the week. We won't see Ellie until Monday week, so she wanted to come and give us a cuddle and say goodbye. Ahh!
