Tea and talking

Filed under: — Nic @ 11:46 pm

Work this morning for both Ady and I. Neither of us worked very hard ;). Ady officially worked for 4 hours but he spent at least one doing our own laundry, another going to the ferry and probably a further 90 minutes wandering around the village trying to get the Jeep to start and arranging a jump start.

I got to work just before 10am and having taken photos all the way down to the village went round to take a couple across the bay. When I came back Ady was at the car having already tried to start it once. As we stood chatting about it so Sean and Eve walked past on their way sledging. Sean arranged to come and jump start Ady on his way to the boat later.

Ross and Neil came to post office / shop so much tea was drunk and chatting done. Then Jinty arrived, earlier than she needed to be for the boat so she stopped for a chat too. Then Ady came back, got the Jeep started and headed away to the boat. Norman came in, Jinty came back with massive amounts of deliveries (cancelled boat on Tuesday and Thursday meant backlogs of everything) so I stayed and gave her a hand.

Davies and Scarlett arrived them, having spent the morning sledging and come to help with the community litter pick which had been cancelled. Neil came back and we all hung around the shop until it was time to meet Ady from work. The kids went home to let Bonnie out, Ady and I went to the pier to give the car another run and drop off some rubbish, to the freezer to put the meat delivery away and then halfway home to the croft, the rest of the way with the wheelbarrow.

We all had lunch and then the kids went off to do sledging again while we took the car back to the village and brought back the rest of the fruit / veg / post. When we got back Neil & Lesley had been round looking for us and they reappeared wanting to borrow some silicone. They came in for tea and chats until it was nearly dark by which time the kids were finally sledged out for the day and Neil & Lesley needed to get back as they were out without torches.

Ady cooked a lovely curry and everyone else has gone to bed, worn out by sledging, chatting and drinking tea. It’s all go here on Rum 😉
