I was reading in bed when Ady said ‘Nic, Nic, people are coming!’ and dashed outside this morning. To be fair it was long past 9am but it was raining and it was warm and cosy in bed. So I dashed around getting dressed while he went out and headed them off. It was Steve and Claire who had come up to talk about crofts. I’m glad I was not around, too complicated to explain just now but I was not in the mood for them.
I watched Ady walk off with them and then followed him out – the wind turbine was whizzing round so I left the kids monitoring charging everything up. Then I headed over to the cabin where Ady and BD were having a pre-car cup of tea. Down to the village where we spent another 3 hours trying – and failing to sort out the Rangerover. The Jeep is at least now fully functional again with four new wheels – the Rangerover can stay where it is until BD is over next. I bloody hate cars!
We got soaked and frozen which is always knackering. We took Dave along to the second boat and waved him off then loaded the Jeep up with various stuff which was in the village and came home for a very late lunch with the kids. Just enough time before dark to take the Jeep back down to the village, come home, feed animals and bring up one barrow-full of firewood and split it for tonight.
A lovely dinner, I made soup and bread dough ready for lunch tomorrow and we watched a fab film which had us all laughing loads – What we did on our holiday
we have that film to watch together on Saturday – I missed it at the cinema and love the Big Yin so was waiting for the release this month.
