I slept in this morning which was not deliberate but I turned the alarm off and rolled over and the next thing I knew it was way later than I planned to be getting up 😳
I showered, Ady and Scarlett had fed the animals. We all listened to Popmaster and then I went to the bedroom to make a phonecall which was the first on a long list of jobs to get done today. My phone rang in my hand though and it was Sandy to say he was on his way up and could Ady meet him halfway. I got the kettle on and the kids made the house as Joss-proof as possible (imagine full on toddler with whirlwind tendancies in a small static crammed with precious lego creations!). Sandy and Ady took off the panel over the gas fire to look at what is behind to further plan log burner installation and then went off leaving Joss with me to mark out our proposed house plot. I’ve yet to see what they did there but Ady tells me it is huge and very exciting :).
That threw all my plans of soup and home made rolls for lunch into disarray and meant I had time to make a hurried phonecall before scoffing a quick lunch made by Ady. Then dashing off to a meeting at the white house with SNH for the venison processing. That went well – it was Neil and I, Richard, Marcel and Sarah by phone conference link. She was supposed to appear on a VC monitor which was all very James Bond but it didn’t work. Ady had put a battery on charge in the workshop and then collected me.
Bonnie had eaten a big pile of layers pellets earlier (we think Scarlett may have fed her quite a handful) and she had been very quiet before throwing up copiously all over the gear lever and handbrake and drivers seat. We tried to think of a worse place to vomit given the amount of crevices and couldn’t. She did perk up after that though.
Back at home I made the pizzas and bread I’d planned to make earlier and did stuffed crusts for the kids to try having heard them mentioned on Despicable Me. They both said they were too rich and would not have them again. Guess there is such a thing as too much cheese! We watched Groundhog Day while we had dinner. It was good, I’ve not seen it in years and it was funnier than I remembered, despite the annoyingness of Andie McDowall!
And so to bed.
When you show piccies of Rum I’m struck by the lack of trees. What will you burn in your woodburner?

There are loads of trees on Rum , just not that many near the croft. We nearly lost Jasper in the woods when we went to visit 🙂

That’s good. They won’t have to sacrifice three furniture then.
