Yes it was a very quiet at home day, with a tendency for boredom because In this horrible weather, there's no incentive to do anything much. Activities, such as they were, included organising jewellery, general house chores, animal husbandry (tortoise and guinea pig), preparing for tutoring JJ, and spending far too much time on line.
