We both had a very leisurely start to the day as we drank our teas and coffee and munched through toast and porridge while reading the news and social media. We had a lot of rain overnight, and though it was dry after breakfast, the forecast suggested more rain was imminent. I abandoned my plan for an immediate walk.
There was a pile of laundry sitting quietly in the corner. Nicely ironed clothes are important, I decided that I should deal with these pressing matters (did you see what I did there?) and set up the ironing board and fired up some chillout music while ploughing into the waiting pile.
A couple of hours later, the pile had dwindled to just a few items that Di wanted to deal with. This seemed like an excuse to get my walking shoes on and head out for an hour or so of plodding around the estate. It was very humid, but nice to get out, get some exercise, and listen to more of my audiobook. There's only about an hour left now and I can feel it coming to a crescendo.
Once home, I grabbed some lunch and settled down with my Kindle. Di was about to join me when the phone rang and Zoe started to chat. After a while, I took her a "medicinal" drink and I started preparing dinner.
Pete dropped Ellie off just before 17:00 and Zoe collected her soon after. We now have a quiet evening planned.
