Up early, packed the car up and caught the ferry. There were very few cars on it. The early ferries appear quite empty. The sea was ROUGH! Ellie wasn’t too happy about that.

We stopped at Ripley for a sandwich and a cuppa and a walk for Ellie. Lovely to see the crocuses out.

Going from the A3 on to the M25 is total chaos. No one seemed to know which lane they should be in and most traffic was at a standstill. So a big delay.
We stopped at Lou and Rhys’s on the way back to drop off some things we bought for them and collect an Avon order.
Arriving home, messages on the answerphone, Ellie’s weight clinic is cancelled tomorrow and a letter saying owing to unforseen circumstances my operation with Maxillofacial has been cancelled for March and is now booked for OCTOBER!!!!! This was accompanied with a letter asking for a donation for the NHS…are they joking??? I have paid my contributions and I have to wait over a year for this operation.
Scarlet sent me a video of her walking their dog and so I “whatsapped” her for about an hour, bless her. She is revising for mocks.
It was nice to empty the case and have all clean clothes! A washer drier in the lodge, so better to use their electricity while we were there and not piles of dirty washing to come home to!
