Zoe called while we were eating breakfast. Ellie had slept really well and had woken up feeling a great deal better. Her temperature is back down to normal, and she was beginning to feel stir-crazy. She still wouldn't be going to school today, but maybe she could go along on the outing to the beach tomorrow... if Grandpa can go along to keep an eye on her. (I said I would be happy to go along).
We went to Sainsbury's for our weekly raid. We were surprised that, as we walked in, Kim was waiting by the entrance. She was killing some time while the A/C in her car was being re-gassed. She wandered around the store with us, chatting as we went and helping with the trolley. It was a nice surprise and made a change from the usual Zombies who wander around the store on a Thursday morning.
We dropped some shopping off for Zoe before going home to unload and grab some lunch. We then took our Kindles into the Orangery for the afternoon.
Mid-afternoon, Zoe and Ellie turned up. Ellie was upset. They had heard from the school, and the school said that they didn't feel comfortable with Ellie joining the trip tomorrow as she had been unwell, and they were likely to be out in the sun all day, and, if last year is anything to go by, will probably walk about 22,000 steps. I gave Ellie a cuddle and promised that I would take her down to the beach tomorrow and we would have our own outing.
