What a novelty!
Work for me and Ady this morning – hostel for him, post office for me. Still not the same without Norman. 🙁
My morning was fairly tame, a few customers ranging from Ross, Bad Neil, Trudi, Claire, Fliss, Mel, Chainsaw Dave and some regular tourists who it’s always nice to see back again. Chatted to them a bit about Norman and the winter just past. I was very proud of myself working out how to fix the printer. Then I walked around to meet Ady. He had finished work so was biding time til 1pm so we sat in the comfy chairs in the hostel chatting. Collected bits from the freezer for dinner today and tomorrow and then headed home. We waved to Big Dave and Faye on the way, walked past Fliss and her girls having a picnic and then had lunch with Davies and Scarlett. We watched the last Masterchef and then Ady and I went down to measure the polytunnel for plastic and start digging. Some discussion about working out how to deal with the slope on the houseplot finally resolved and we set to digging. We probably did an hour before Dave & Faye arrived.
The plan is for them to come and help dig tomorrow and our volunteer arrived on the late boat tonight so there could be five of us working on that for at least part of tomorrow.
We went to look at the Rangerover which was leaking petrol and Dave was able to fix it. That took us to 5pm so I walked down to the shop with BD and Faye for a beer, while Ady took Bonnie home and fed the birds, then followed us down in the car as we had to meet the late boat to collect Tom the WWOOFer and send empty jerry cans of petrol off. A nice couple of hours at the shop before coming home to cook dinner. Tom seems nice (based on a five minute chat) so we packed him off to pitch his tent and find his bearings and arranged to see him in the morning. I am desperate for a lie in!
