It was another glorious start to the day, but the forecast suggests that this is coming to an end over the next few days. I was up at 6:30, and Di came down at 7:00. The early morning followed the usual pattern, and by 8:20, we were walking to Zoe's to collect Ellie for school. She was feeling sore after yesterday's fall, and had some trouble getting enthused about walking to school. Despite this, she went into class without any trouble, and Di briefed her teacher about what had happened.
Di headed home while I set off on my morning walk. My audiobook chatted away in my ears as I lapped the estate. I was surprised that there were not more people about, but I did pass and greet several of my regulars.
Back home, I enjoyed breakfast and then set about my (short) to-do list. The accounts were updated, and I did some research into some technology options before calling a supplier for some details. While I was sorting this, Diane was catching up on some ironing and dealing with the laundry.
After lunch, there was Kindle time in the Orangery until we had to collect Ellie from school and take her to Chichester for her regular appointment. The traffic was dreadful, and we were in danger of not making the appointment on time. I remembered a shortcut that I had discovered several years ago when dropping Kim off in Chichester. I turned around and nipped up a side street onto the route. There were no further hold-ups, and we arrived right on time. By the time we left, an hour later, the hold-up had been cleared, and we whizzed straight through.
