Pompey and Circumstance

 I was up early to greet Ellie. Ellie, however, didn't want to be greeted.  She went straight to the lounge and lay down on the floor behind the sofa. Apparently, she wasn't happy because she hadn't realised Zoe had a 7am start this morning. I left her to it, knowing that Nana would sort her out when she came down. She was as right as rain by the time we had to leave for school. We left her at the classroom and returned home.

There was no early walk for me. I had arranged to go and collect Kim and take her into Portsmouth to retrieve her car and enjoy another riveting day at the University. The traffic on the route across was benign, and we were soon dropping down into the City. The roads on Portsea Island were empty. We hardly saw another car as we looped through, passing the Naval Base, and on towards Gunwharf Quays. There was a huge sigh of relief when Kim spotted her car, and it hadn't been clamped! I left her in the car park and returned home.

Later in the morning, I set off for a walk. The route had to include the village as Diane had some meds to be collected at the Chemist. I wasn't out for long, but it was long enough to finish my AudioBook and listen to an episode of "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue".

After lunch, we had some Kindle time. I started another Kindle book and lined up another AudioBook for tomorrow's walk. Diane went with Zoe to collect Ellie at the end of her after-school club.

We have another early start tomorrow.
