Cracking

I was up early for Ellie's drop-off. She was already washed, dressed, fed, and ready for school. It was bright and sunny and already warm outside. It looked like the start of a nice day. In fact, it turned out to be an absolute cracker with wall-to-wall blue skies that lasted until early evening. By then it had become very still, had clouded over, and was very humid. I suspect thunder is not too far away.

We dropped Ellie at school and I went for my usual walk before coming home for breakfast. After I had updated the accounts, I settled down for the rest of the morning for some further research and a bit of lateral thinking about this radio project. I just may have found a Plan B, but again that needs more research.

I got a call from Zoe. She had been expecting delivery of some garden furniture and had just been contacted to say they were 10 minutes away. I went around and waited while she came back from work, The delivery arrived. It was on a pallet and stood about 2 metres high packed in its boxes. The driver wheeled the pallet around to her back gate (thank goodness) and left us to it. We stripped the boxes from the pallet and carried them through to the garden. That's where we left them.

Back home, I had some lunch and we settled down for some Kindle time. As the clock ticked through to the end of the school day, we went to collect Ellie and took her straight home. Zoe arrived just as we did and we went straight to the garden and unpacked and assembled the garden furniture. With the furniture in place, we left them to it and came home for a quiet hour before dinner.
