Wednesday.

And a quiet day, with no phys for either of us, as it was a rest day for me, and for Jools' class was cancelled.

So, in theory, we could lay in bed all morning, other than Scully would have to be tested at five in the morning.

But we are up early enough. I do snooze for half an hour, but am all up and dressed for six.

Just not much to do.

Jools is crocheting a new cardigan, and has got to the point where the two halves are joined. Or something. So while she is upstairs, I am in the living room listening to podcasts.

Which fills the time.

We have an early lunch, as we are going to Jen's for the resumption of cards after an eight month break. So I cook bangers, mash and beans for lunch, so that come ten to two, we can drive to Whitfield for hostilities to be rejoined.

The reason for the break is, well, not worth entering into here, but the break has done Jools and I good, and for the first hour, conversation was a little staid.

But it soon picked up, though the situation wasn't helped with Jools winning at Meld, the scooping all pots half an hour into Queenie, meaning our pot of pennies was literally overflowing.

Mike was there, and in a gap in the showers, cleaned the skylight window, so I thought it best to take his picture as he looked down on us.

We leave at four, missing rush hour and back in time to test Scully at five.

Supper was some KFC: the chicken pieces were fine, but the burger was very poor indeed, and not worth the advertising campaign money.

Football in the evening, but the wrong teams won, so best not speak about it.

Bed at ten, with there still being some light in the sky away to the west.
