Sophie set off for Towcester in heavy rain to complete a 5k run with her work buddy, Becky. I pootled about and did the usual chores, such as loading the washing machine, unloading the dishwasher and tidying up. There's always something to be done! I did manage to catch the news, though, and saw footage of the 82nd commemorations in Normandy for the D-Day Landings. It was very emotional.
Sophie did her run in thirty seconds less than last time, so she was very happy! I was writing the blog when she arrived, and as I wrote about buying gifts for Mike and Keith in Berlin, our son messaged me! Spooky! He said he was going to pop in and see us this afternoon as he was going to a party in Northampton.
Sophie asked me to drive her to a beauty appointment at 2:00pm, and I was more than happy to help. She was in and out before her appointment time! We returned home and indulged in a slice of cake that Sophie had bought in Towcester with a cup of tea.
Mike arrived at about 4:00pm and laughed when I gave him the lighter I'd bought for him. Children can be so ungrateful, the little monkey! We had a very pleasant afternoon with him, and Sophie suggested a game of cards, which he readily agreed to!

Outside, it was still pouring with rain, and it's been a total washout today. I felt sorry for anyone getting married, organising a barbecue or just trying to enjoy a day out.
Mike left at about 7:00pm, and Sophie and I ordered a Chinese takeaway. We were supposed to have been eating paté with toast and salad, but we both fancied something a little more tasty. Keith refused to have anything with us, so we halved the bill. Amazingly, we were able to order it online and pay by card!
After dinner, we watched a Netflix documentary about Rafael Nadal, which was very interesting. We are planning on watching the French Open final tomorrow, although I have no idea who the two players are!
