 Today was much like yesterday, though I didn't have to set the alarm to get up early. Zoe had a late start, so I was able the stay in bed for an extra 20 minutes and later, wander around to join the walk to school. Leaving Ellie at the classroom door, I set out for my morning walk (and had a further exposé of the underbelly of Amsterdam, courtesy of my Audiobook).

Back home, I grabbed some breakfast and then returned to my study and the YouTube videos I had been watching on the Swift computer language. So far, it seems fairly straightforward, but I'm only trying to absorb a few lessons at a time. That consumed much of the morning. I followed it with another attempt to crack the anomaly in my photo management routines. I managed to get a "failure" but when I reran the code with a trace, it worked perfectly. Doh! I shall sleep on it and return to the problem on another day.

After lunch, we settled down with our Kindles until it was time to collect Ellie. I left Di in the Orangery and went to the school. Ellie, predictably, wanted to go to the park so we made the usual diversion and I watched as she got involved in a football match with the boys. She then came back to our house for a while before going out to play with Sofia until Zoe collected her.
