Thinking...

 I was up early to greet Ellie. She looked a little sleepy when she arrived, but soon perked up. The school day rituals were performed and suitable spells were cast for the day. It was raining when we set off for school, but the early heavy rain had become little more than an occasional drizzle. `I left Ellie at the classroom door and started on my walk. I managed to avoid the rain while I was out, but it did return later in the morning.

Diane went to the hairdresser and I was left to eat my breakfast in the car of Lottie and Jasper. I retired to my study where I went through some more YouTube tutorials on the Swift language. Having consumed a few more facts and techniques, I shut that down. I had been thinking... a dangerous activity at the best of times. Let me explain.

I bought a radio for Diane. This radio plays radio stations broadcast over the Internet. It is useless. It is incredibly difficult to tune in to the right station and then it seems to lose the stations occasionally. What if I could build an Internet radio? So the rest of the morning was spent defining my requirements and researching possible sources of the components I would need. I have a lot of designing to do before committing to a plant, but it is nice to have a complex project to think about.

Diane arrived back from the hairdresser just as Sainsbury's turned up with our delivery. We stowed all the shopping away and then grabbed some lunch before retiring to the Orangery for Kindle time. Di went to collect Ellie but Zoe had finished early so she was also there.
