I was up early and somewhat surprised when Ellie arrived, already dressed and her hair done. She was in a chatty mood, and after our cuddle, she went to see Nana. While she was having breakfast, I went for my shower, and when I came back down, she was reading to Nana. Nana handed it over to me, and I sat and listened to her for the next 15 minutes. She decided to switch to her maths practice, and, grabbing her flashcards, asked me to test her on the times tables. It didn't matter what I threw at her; she responded instantly with the correct answer. She's doing very well.

Having dropped Ellie at school, I went for my usual walk. It was bright and sunny, but there was a slight nip in the air. This made it very comfortable walking weather. As I strode around my usual route, I was surprised that there didn't seem to be as many people out and about. We have bad weather forecast for the rest of the week, so I expected people to be making the most of it today.

Di embarked on a Spring Clean (Autumn Clean?) in the Orangery. I went to the study to start processing the unfiled photos from the cruise. There were nearly 500 photos and videos to be filed. I have cracked through a third of them, but I seem to have hit a problem whereby Lightroom Classic (the library manager that I use for photos) kept crashing. I will return to this later in the week. At least, now that they are filed (if not processed), they will be replicated out across my in-house backups.

The afternoon was spent with my Kindle, though Di went along to join Zoe in collecting Ellie from the girls' football session. Ellie was very proud to tell me that she saved 5 goals and didn't let any in.
