Scarlett has a cold 🙁 She tends to fall hard, weep and wail and then recover fairly quickly but she clearly feels pretty rough just now. Ady is still coughing. He did stop while we were away but it is back with a vengence and I am not sure whether he has a new cold which Scarlett has now caught or whether the original one has come back now we are back in the damp caravan. Either way I am trying to be a patient carer and failing massively. Especially when Scarlett used up all the loo roll blowing her nose, came crying to me about the lack of tissue at 1130pm and I had to venture out in my nightie and Ady’s wellies in the wind rain to go to the horse box for another roll!
This morning after Popmaster Ady and I went down to get some bits from the shop and some bits from the freezer. There was quite a gathering at the shop (bad weather and cancelled ferries always bring people out to stand around talking about Great Storms Of The Past ;)) and it was all nice and jovial. I’d made bread dough before we left so stuck some rolls in the oven and made some soup on my quest to get more vegetables into ill people to cure them and well people to prevent illness.
Norman and Scarlett had been talking about jigsaw puzzles on Saturday and Norm happened to be at the shop with a 500 piece puzzle for us to borrow so this afternoon I set that up on the table and predictably everyone has been drawn to it and done a wee bit. It does mean the table is out of action which is a bit of a problem here really, we need something to put on top of the puzzle so we can still have dinner on it.
Vikki came up feeling a bit sorry for herself as she knows everyone is talking about her giving Sean notice to leave her house. We had a good chat over cups of tea which turned into glasses of wine as she stayed awhile and she left feeling happier.
Hoping our new sleeping bag comes on the boat tomorrow…
