Mischief Monday

 I was up early to greet Ellie as she was dropped off. We started the morning with a nice cuddle, and she told me about her weekend with Pete... then went up to see Nana. The important thing we had to do was to get a couple of tablets into Jasper so that he would be calm for his morning appointment with the vet. Despite our best efforts, Jasper was not interested.

We followed the usual morning ritual up until school time. Then, I helped get Jasper into his carrier, and Di set off for the appointment while I took Ellie to school. By the time I returned from my morning walk, Di was home. The vet was hanging on to Jasper and would sort out the tablets alongside the other tests and so forth.

I spent a significant amount of the morning studying the document for the Special Probate Trust we are currently setting up. It is a complex beast, but I think I have finally reached a point of understanding that will allow us to confirm it can proceed. I'm glad I wrote lots of notes!

We had some Kindle time in the afternoon before I went to collect Ellie with Zoe. She would have dinner at home, then Zoe would bring her here for an evening of mischief with Grandpa, while Di, Kim and Zoe go to see Anton and Geo at the King's Theatre in Portsmouth.

The first bit of mischief we indulged in was to create (and video) a scientific experiment to show capillary action. This involved a beaker with some water and red colouring, and a chunk of leek. We now need to. Leave it for a couple of days and record the result.
