End of Times

 Today was the last day of term for Ellie. Zoe had the day off, so I wandered around to join the walk to school. All of the children were clutching presents for the teachers, and the parents were looking on in trepidation, realising they had the kids to themselves for the next 6 weeks or so! As Zoe headed home, I set off on my walk. I didn't go as far as usual, having realised after one lap that I needed to stop at the loo.

Back home, Diane and I grabbed breakfast before heading off to Sainsbury's for the weekly shopping raid. The car park was busy. This did not bode well. We were right to be concerned as the shop was very busy with customers wandering aimlessly into the aisle and then dumping their trolleys where they could cause optimum chaos while they wandered about searching for some item or other. I almost prefer the Thursday zombies.

Once home and unpacked, we set out on a joint mission. Diane had asked Lottie to do a different batch of cleaning yesterday, so today Diane vacuumed the hard floors, and I followed behind to wash them. 

After lunch, we had some Kindle time until the clock ticked around to the end of the school day. Diane went to collect Ellie and take her straight home so that she would be ready to be picked up by Pete. She'll be with him for the next 2 weeks, the second of which will be down in Somerset.

I need to process a batch of family videos. The problem I face is remembering how I did the last set. If possible, I would like to keep the style consistent... but did I use Da Vinci, iMovie, or bits of both? I fear I have a little bit of experimentation ahead of me before I get started.
