Viking Raid

 It was a cool start, and there was some early rain. It was all finished within a couple of hours, and it turned into a nice day. Ellie was dropped off a little later than usual. All was fine until she decided she wanted her school skirt rather than her summer dress. Grandpa had to hotfoot it to Zoe's and bring back the aforementioned grey skirt. (He had checked on its whereabouts before leaving). Grandpa brought the skirt back, only to be told it was the wrong one. (Well, actually, it was the only one in the location I had been given.) I was given the silent treatment from then on, until I dropped her at the classroom.

There was a list of chores to clear first thing, but then I took Di along to The Nuffield to have her dressing removed. We were in and out in about 15 minutes. The nurse cut off the bandage that had been applied last week. All looked well on the wound dressing itself. That has to stay in place until early next week.

The rest of the day followed a familiar pattern. Di did her physio exercises, then rested. I grabbed a bite to eat and then spent some time with my Kindle; then I went along to collect Ellie and bring her home. Zoe wasn't far behind, collecting Ellie and all her clothes and school things.

We settled down with some dinner and watched the Norway / Cote d'Ivoire football match from the World Cup. I was delighted to see the Norway team score a late winner.
