Charger

 I was up early to greet Ellie as she was dropped off at 6:35. It was around 6:35 when I got a message from Zoe that she had overslept and would be late. At least I didn't have to panic. Ellie was duly dropped off, and Zoe disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

We took Ellie to school and then came home for breakfast. We had received notification that Di's meds were ready to be collected from the Chemist's, so I deferred my walk until later, intending to collect the meds then.

There was some early morning admin after breakfast, and then I crafted the week's shopping list. We timed it badly this morning. The Zombies were obviously away on holiday, but we had a bus-load of utter morons turn up instead. What a joy! Nevertheless, we got the shopping done fairly quickly and soon had it packed away at home.

As lunchtime approached, I went for my walk and collected Di's meds on the way through. The temperature had really climbed compared with yesterday. I suspect I will need a sun hat tomorrow, as it is forecast to get hotter still over the weekend.

After lunch, we collected Ellie and took her to Chichester for her weekly appointment. We sat in the sunshine, outside a cafe, and enjoyed a coffee and a slice of cake while waiting. When the appointment was over, we took Ellie home and then came home ourselves.

Currently (you see what I did there?), there seems to be some confusion between the EV Charger apps. There is an app on the car, an app from the Electricity supplier, and an app from the charger manufacturer. The Energy supplier suggests I use theirs to ensure I get the best tariff. This, however, seems to get confused because of the app from the charger manufacturer. I phoned the helpline, and after a lot of discussion, the specialist decided he couldn't help and has escalated the problem. I now await a call from their 2nd-level engineer. We'll see what happens.
