Not a great deal of sleep last night, but still up and to breakfast in time to eat the meal with the girls. I gave Della her morning piggy-back and let her feed the fish and then, because it was pouring with rain, I loaded both her and Debbie into the back of the Range Rover and dropped them off at the school bus stop.
