Final Production

 I was up early for Ellie. Apparently, she had another disturbed night, but seemed perky enough when she sat down for her morning cuddle. She went up to Nana while I finished my coffee and prepared for their emergence into the day. The usual ritual continued, and we walked Ellie to school. We had the opportunity to go into class with her and review her schoolwork. She is clearly doing well... particularly in Maths and Science. I chatted with the teacher and pointed out that Ellie had a carbon fibre component from an F1 racing car in her bag and that her uncle Jon manufactures them. The teacher was very excited and said she would do a show-and-tell with Ellie.

Di headed home as she was off to Pilates. I went for my usual walk and then came home for breakfast. The rest of the morning was taken up with domestic trivia. Di returned much earlier than usual, and we had some lunch before retiring to the Orangery for some Kindle time. She commented on how much warmer it was in Bognor Regis compared with Angmering.

Di went to collect Ellie from school and bring her back home. Zoe arrived back at the same time. While Zoe and Di chatted in the living room, Ellie and I finished videotaping the experiment we started on Monday. The experiment was not a resounding success, but that's the nature of experimentation. I finished editing the video and uploaded it to her page on the homework website. She's done a good job and comes across confidently on screen.

On the athletics front, Ellie has been selected to represent her year group in the relay during Friday's sports day. She will run the first leg for year 3, handing over to someone from year 4, who in turn will hand over to a runner from year 5, and the anchor leg will be a year 6 runner.
