This morning I had grand plans to make a little bag for Joss’ birthday present. I cut out the material and got out my sewing machine but it is missing the little foot thing that you feed the material through. No idea if it is here somewhere or go lost along the way but I decided I would probably spent more time trying to find it and potentially not doing so anyway than just hand sewing it, so I did. Davies and Scarlett made a card each and then Ady and I went to meet the boat.
It is super windy and has been raining for much of the day so we got wet on the way down. We stopped at the castle to shove some stuff in the drying room and then to the boat. Our CoOp food shop came off, as did Vikki and lots of her stuff which we’d offered a lift to so we ran her home. Then to check for post – none. Then to drop off the frozen food shopping in the freezer and deliver Joss cards, bag and a comic we’d ordered too which had come. We checked our winkles and one of the bags had come a bit adrift so we secured that more.
Back to the croft for lunch. I sorted out the veg for dinner and then as it wasn’t raining I persuaded Davies and Scarlett to come for a walk down to the village with me as they have not been out in days. Ady stayed behind to do a few things (mostly tidying I think ;)) and we walked down to the village, bumped into Mike for a chat, returned some dvds to the library and picked up a few books and came home again before it rained. Result 🙂 Outdoor time is the key to sanity here definitely.
I made some bread and got the rest of the dinner sorted then checked up on parcels online – The Book People are definitely getting the order returned to them and they can then forward it to me here so that one is in hand. The oilskins are missing in action I think but the man is chasing them. The log burner was not collected by Yodel once again so it now supposedly being collected by Parcelforce tomorrow and delivered to Calmac on Thursday, which now means Saturday delivery to us. Maybe. Please, please let it be worth all this grief when it actually does get here.
No boats tomorrow, but I want to get the washing done and probably will spend at least some of the day parcel chasing :rolls:
