Vet

 Ellie was a bit more alert when she arrived this morning. She sat and chatted with me before heading upstairs to see Nana. I got on with the usual morning routine until they came back downstairs and started on Ellie's breakfast and her packed lunch. It was clearly going to be a very hot day, so we made sure she was slathered in suncream before we set off to school. We dropped at the classroom and then Di headed home to perform her INR blood test and I set off for my walk.

DI sent off the results of her INR but had a further blood test scheduled for later in the morning. This a "check" test to make sure her INR machine was giving similar results to this performed by the surgery. Fortunately, they were spot on and no further calibration is required.

During the afternoon (after some Kindle time) we had to deal with an appointment at the Vets. Di took Jasper, leaving me behind to collect Ellie. I explained to Ellie that Nana wasn't with me because "Jasper had taken her to the vet". She didn't bat an eyelid. She just looked at me, rolled her eyes, and "Grandpa!"

I may have mentioned it a few days ago, but Ellie has been selected to represent the school in an athletics meet on Friday. Going through her school bag we found another letter from the school asking if she could represent them in a further meet at the beginning of July. I think we should book tickets for the 2036 Olympics... you never know!
