Yesterday was a productive day – Scarlett finished painting the sporran and kilt around the caravan – it looks really good, a dark green colour which should preserve it for years to come. Davies made the most of the wind turbine giving internet and did stuff online, Ady and I did tidying up around the caravan /croft, gathering rubbish and burning it, pulling up some of the broken pallets and chopping them up for firewood and generally sprucing things up. I watered the polytunnel and we spent some time with Bob Pig. Still not sure whether he will recover but he is doing better each day, feel sorry for Blackie who is up here on the croft without him too.
Today was less productive as the weather was showery so every time I started to think I would head outside it threatened rain again. Ady was outside getting stuff done but I was indoors chatting to Scarlett and crocheting instead. We did move an empty gas bottle halfway to the car, carry up some wood for a fence we’re planning and bring the camping mats out of the Pajero to air on the washing line ready for us to sleep on when Mum & Dad arrive though. After lunch I went down to Crafternoon – no Ali this week as she is off island so it was just Fliss, Deb and me, with the constant company of Joss as there was no Eve for her to play with. Ady came down to meet me and we all walked round to the shop together as we are voting on whether to go ahead with a fish farm off the coast of Rum and votes need to be in by tomorrow. Neil and Lesley were around so I persuaded Lesley to stop for a beer with us while Neil went off to check the power and Steve the Man and Jed came along too so a nice little sociable gathering for a beer before we came back home.
Ady had constructed a mobile shelter for Bob Pig so we carried that over and put it over him to keep the rain off then came in. Davies helped with dinner by getting the pasta on while Scarlett made a white sauce and grated cheese and I made bread dough so a collaborative effort. Some River Cottage and a couple of episodes of Warehouse 13 so we can send the disc back tomorrow as I am working at Post Office.
