I was up soon after six. Ellie was being dropped off at 6:30, but I had woken early and decided a coffee would kick-start the day. E~llie burst into the house and, after a cuddle, went upstairs to torment Nana. The next hour or so followed the time-honoured pattern, and we walked Ellie to school as usual. Di headed home, and I set off on my walk. The sun was shining, but some angry clouds were gathering. By the time I started on my third lap, I was concerned that I would get wet, but fortunately, the rain held off.
Once home, I found that we were boxed in by tradesmen's vans. Di had already asked them to move one, but it wasn't until I got home that they condescended to get out of the way.
After some breakfast, we finished the shopping list and headed to Sainsbury's. Zoe, incidentally, has now invoked the private medical cover that she gets through work. She immediately got a Zoom consultation, and the Consultant has ordered an MRI. We are just waiting for a date. At least things are moving.
The Sainsbury's trip (and stop at M&S and B&Q) took a while, so no sooner were we home than we had to grab some lunch before going to collect Ellie for her weekly appointment in Chichester. We dropped her off, then went for a coffee where Di read her Kindle, and I reviewed my slides for tomorrow's Inspiration Day at St Columba's. While we were drinking our coffee, Di received a call from The Nuffield to set up the first of a series of appointments to get her ready for the knee replacement. It is amazing how quickly this works once you are in the system.
