Strange day

 It turned out to be a strange day. I was up around seven and sat drinking my coffee as I read the news. Diane came down a few minutes later - she had he Cardiac Rehab session this morning, so needed to get breakfast out of the way. I wandered around to Zoe's to join the walk to school and, after dropping Ellie in class, set off for my usual walk while Zoe, who had a day off, headed home.

By the time I arrived home from my walk, Diane was already at the Community Centre for her exercise session. I settled down for some breakfast and skimmed the social media. D~i arrived home, and we chatted while starting on our various admin tasks. These took most of the morning.

It was during our admin session that Zoe turned up. Her knee had "popped", and she wanted a knee brace. Needless to say (did you see what I did there?), we had one, and she went back home. A little while later, she phoned. The GP had told her to go to the hospital and get an X-Ray. I collected her from home and dropped her at the War Memorial Hospital. 

After we had some lunch, we settled in the lounge with our Kindles. I was awaiting the call from Zoe to say she was ready to be collected. As all was quiet, I went to collect Ellie from dance practice. It was while I was waiting for Ellie that Zoe called to say she was ready. Ellie and I hot-footed it to the hospital and collected Zoe, who has a damaged Medial Cruciate Ligament. The doctor tried to sign her off for 6 weeks, but she was having none of that. She intends to work, even if she is confined to the office.

I dropped Ellie and Zoe back home. Ellie is with Pete for the weekend. Zoe intends to rest, but will discuss work with the store manager, Jason, in the morning.
