Wednesday 22nd May

Up early this morning to finish sorting out the papers for this mornings round. The delivery time to me on a Tuesday evening can be anything from 8pm-12pm in my experience. If it is after 11pm they tend to get left outside for the night. I only got half way through sorting them out last night, so finished the rest this morning before getting breakfast ready for the family; well most of us. The eldest was having an extra hour in bed because her exam today was in the afternoon. It was breezy but warm on the round this morning, perfectly pleasant conditions, although for some reason I couldn’t quite fathom I felt a bit lethargic.

Back home I made myself a coffee and the eldest a cuppa then got lunch ready for us. I look forward to the day she makes lunch for me, though I suspect she is not dissimilar to most teenage girls. I wish her luck as I see her off to her exam and then pop into town to go to the kids bank. I’ve a cheque to pay in and need to convert one of the accounts to one paying a higher interest rate. I’d have thought it might have been done automatically as the bank previously changed their accounts without asking us, but no if it involves you getting more interest (though still a low rate) you need to ask.

It’s blowing a gale when I get home but at least the washing is dry, giving me no excuse for not doing the ironing before getting tea ready for all. The eldest’s exam went well, which was great news, only three to go now and she can relax. On this evenings perambulation Mrs P mentions that in a months’ time the days will be getting shorter, and she’s right. Summer needs to hurry up and make its mark before it misses its chance. Staycations are not looking that attractive this year unless the temperature rises by at least 15°c.

Yours dreaming of sun kissed beaches.
