After another night interrupted by Jasper's yowling, I got up at 6:30, ready to greet Ellie as she was dropped off. She was in a better frame of mind this morning, and we chatted for a while before she went upstairs for her morning cuddle with Nana. Once she was fed (scrambled eggs again this morning), washed, and dressed, she did some reading and some maths practice before school.
Dropping her off at the classroom, Di went home, and I set off on my walk. It was the start of a new audiobook this morning. This one takes place in Kent in 1941, and although the story itself hasn't fully kicked in, I am now familiar with the dramatis personae.
Returning home, I grabbed breakfast, and then we made our way to Sainsbury's for the weekly shop. We had decided to spice things up a bit and ignore the usual Thursday trip, slipping it to Friday. Although the Zombie bus was unlikely to dump its cargo at the door, there still seemed to be a lot of ditherers and aisle blockers. Nevertheless, we were finished fairly quickly and headed home to unpack.
I was pleased to hear that, after my complaint of last week, the staff member had been spoken to and admitted that the coleslaw had not been moved months earlier. Indeed, she claimed I was about the 10th customer to ask her the question that morning!
After lunch, we had some Kindle time until I went to collect Ellie from school. She had had a good day, even if PE had been cut short by the arrival of an adult swan in the mix. We stopped off at the park on the way home. We didn't stay for too long and arrived home just as Zoe was pulling onto the drive to collect her.
A quiet evening is planned.
