Dripping

As it is Monday, I had an early start. Zoe dropped Ellie off soon after 6:40. We had a cuddle before she went up to see Nana, and then the normal morning sequence of events began. It was a pretty foul morning, weatherise, so I insisted Diane stay at home while I walked Ellie to school. As it happened, the rain actually stopped for the duration of the school run.

The car was booked in for its MOT and annual service. I headed straight back out to the service centre and dropped the car off. I then started the walk home. The rain gods had been watching. As I left the service centre, the heavens opened and I was pounded by heavy rain the whole route home. Fortunately, I was wearing my waterproof trousers and new waterproof jacket and Gore-Tex walking shoes. I may have been thoroughly soaked on the outside, but I was bone dry underneath.

We had a fairly quiet morning after that. Diane had a call with Marilynn, and I spent some time looking at stateroom options for cruises. (Isn't YouTube wonderful?). After lunch, I had some Kindle time while Di put together some accessories for Ellie's Hallowe'en outfit. We managed to find a break in the weather when it was time to collect Ellie, and we took her straight home.

As we left Zoe's to walk home, I got a message to say the car was ready for collection. I left Di and headed back down the old highway to Shripney. The rain had spotted me and kept up a steady paradiddle on my jacket as I splashed my way to get the car. There were no problems reported, and we have an MOT Certificate for the coming year.

I've just been summoned by Z~oe for some help with something, so I won't be settling down yet.
