Trimmed

 Jasper was not scheduled for choir practice this morning. I was awake, anyway, but was not subjected to feline arias from various operas. I got up anyway. Coffee was ingested along with the overnight news. Jasper slunk down the stairs and stared at me until I opened the doors and let him out (I would remind the reader that he has a cat flap that he refuses to use).

At the appropriate time, I walked to Zoe's for the long march to school (well 200m). We left Ellie at the classroom and I headed off for a short walk. 

Back home, earlier than usual, I had breakfast and got on with some admin before heading out for another walk. This one had to stop in the village so that I could get a haircut. (Looking at it now, several hours after the fact, I think it is a little severe!)

Once home, I updated the accounts and then made lunch. After lunch, it won't surprise you to hear that we had Kindle time until we had to collect Ellie. On Mondays, she has athletics after school and we were there in time to see her in her last race. She was running against a friend but over the 60m course, she had managed a 10m lead as she crossed the line. Grandpa (and Nana) were very proud.

We had a quiet hour with her, followed by dinner which she had just finished when Zoe arrived to collect her.
