Friday and Saturday were pretty much wall to wall solid rain. It started raining early on Friday morning and just didn’t stop for about 48 hours. So Friday was an indoors day – crochet, animal programmes, pizza, games, music, chatting.
Saturday was work for Ady and I in the morning – me at Post Office, him at the White House. I walked along to meet him and we came home together in the rain. Vikki was over visiting for a couple of nights staying with Mike and Deb and we’d been invited down. I had made excuses for Davies and Scarlett so they stayed home while Ady and I went down. It was pretty boring, made slightly better by Ali and Doug being there and just as rowdy as me… we had nice chats and played a nice game and legged it by 9pm.
Back for curry and Warehouse 13.
Sunday the sun came back. Bad Neil came up for many cups of tea in the morning, I did some polytunnel weeding and Ady did some pig pen stuff in the afternoon, then Vikki came up for a cup of tea just as we were feeding animals. Ady cooked dinner, we watched Doctor Who, somehow it ended up really late.
Today was my final post office shift for now as Jinty came back today. The usual tea drinking and chatting, then home for lunch. Ady had made soup with the chicken remains from last night which was very nice. We met the boat as we had animal feed coming off and that was very sociable sitting in the sunshine with various Rum folk waiting for the boat to arrive. Back home for more polytunnel weeding for me while Ady did some wind turbine stuff to get the replacement for the one which broke last year up and running.
I made bread dough and lasagne for dinner (the lasagne was for dinner, not the bread dough! although I did make garlic bread for dinner too) and we watched Warehouse 13 – 2 episodes as I was so efficient with my dinner prep that we had eaten and were sitting down before 9pm. First night this year with no fire lit although it is pretty cold in here now (12 degrees actually, just checked). Firewood chopping tomorrow to hopefully stock up on the final run of what we’ll need for this year and then we can start working on building up the supply ready for next year.
