A lie in for everyone this morning after a late night last night. I did a few bits online and then we all left together for the village. Ady, Bonnie and the kids took the car and went to do the ferries – three in today at various times so Ady just stayed down there for the whole time and managed to get phones etc charged up, enjoy the sunshine, have a long chat with Sean and take Bonnie for a walk on the beach.
Meanwhile I walked down to Fliss and Sandy’s with some brownies we’d not eaten last night, my notepad and pen and some crochet and knitting as we were having a brainstorming on a fund application for something to do for Creative Year of Natural Scotland next year and a yarn chatter at the same time.
Sandy brought us a tray of tea and left us to it and a very lovely few hours we had too sat in their conservatory. We came up with some ideas, sent a few emails and then just spent the rest of the time chatting. Davies and Scarlett walked round to us so they sat and played with lego, Sandy was in and out, Derek brought round Fliss’ post and then popped back with mine as I was still there and had some parcels (teaspoons because the cutlery drawer goblin has eaten all of ours, teabags because every time I run out of my Goodearth tea and then have one I realise how very superior they are to any other tea so I’ve taken to buying bags of 440 at a time and decided I am worth that for my tea, glass paints as I want to decorate the wine bottles we use as candle stick holders to make them pretty. Ady joined us for a final cup of tea and then we headed off via the shop to deliver some eggs. More amazon deliveries had come on the ferry – sugar and washing up liquid so we had plenty to carry up the hill home.
I cooked, we watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit arrived today from Lovefilm and then fairly early nights all round. Tomorrow is our 6 month anniversary of arriving on Rum and we have Vikki coming up for dinner.
