Peggy has stayed with us for a few extra days which meant the rest of the family took themselves down to Castlepoint to shop for some new clothes, taking advantage of the relaxation of restrictions, whilst I got on with various mundane tasks including sorting out the upstairs sink which has been emptying slowly, repairing an old bike Glen has brought home and rescuing a mouse from the cats. That required shifting all sorts of bits and pieces until it dashed out from under the freezer and into a strategically placed box which I took out over the road to release it unharmed.
The children then devoted themselves to Harry Potter films watching the first three in the series one after the other until bedtime. That gave me time to ride down to Verwood and back to return some library books which I've had since before Christmas due to lockdown and to make a tea of lasagne, chips, carrots, brocolli and a kind of ragu using up red cabbage, carrot, celery and onion. The ragu turned out ok but the children enjoyed the lasagne and chips part most, naturally!
There was still time for a 5km run as well.
