Clare sent Ady and I texts this morning to say she was coming back on the ferry today. Davies has been lighting a fire in the yurt twice a week but last time was Wednesday last week so Ady headed down this morning to light a fire and clean up the inevitable puddles (the door leaks when it rains and the wind blows in a certain direction).
It tipped down with rain all morning and most of the afternoon so it was another indoors day. The wind has blown all day too though so plenty of power and we’ve had the genny on all day. I’m concerned that the cheque I posted last Thursday has not hit our bank account yet and not sure how long to give it before asking the winkle man to cancel the cheque and send us a new one. Argh.
The kids tidied their bedrooms which were a bit post-guest messy with added stuff heaped in them but being so small and having been very well tidied before guests didn’t take long. I had offered to read to them but the weather cleared up after lunch and they were engrossed in something on their tablets. Ady had made soup from chicken bones and leftovers and Fliss gave me a loaf of her best bread yesterday as part of bag of birthday stuff so we had that for lunch and then Ady and I went for a walk with my camera. We were slightly scuppered in our plan to walk to the village by Barbara Pig breaking out and following us all the way to bridge before she caught us up and we took her home again. She’s so bad. That meant it was dusk really so not much good for photos but we walked down to the village anyway. There was no post for us but we saw a nice joint of gammon in Jinty’s fridge so bought that for dinner instead of our planning fishcakes which pleased everyone.
We bumped into Clare, Mel & Em and of course saw Jinty and then walked home again. Always good to get outside if at all possible for a bit of a walk – I hate not leaving the static all day. Back at the croft Barbara was out again, definitely have not sorted out the fence just yet grr.
