No Sheerwater for us today. Trudi went and said it was wild, they saw nothing other than an otter next to the pier and she was nearly seasick. So I’m glad we didn’t go, maybe we’ll be fairweather dolphin chasers this year.
Instead we had a productive indoor day. Lots of cat cuddling and Kira & Bonnie integration. Bonnie appears to have decided Kira is not so bad given she comes with a bowl of cat food. Kira is still mostly curious (classic cat trait 😉 ) but wary. She still legs it into our bedroom given half a chance but we’ll not let her in there again until she stops doing the bolting under the bed thing.
I tidied up two areas which were cluttered and bugging me – on top of Bonnie’s crate and a stool which had become a crap magnet. The crate top seems to have been refilled by the stool remains clear… small victories. I did the Rum newsletter and emailed it out, cleared my inbox of volunteer requests, replied to a couple of other emails and set up the bell tent on airbnb. Ady and I ordered camp beds, camping chairs, stove and cooking set and started working on what else we’ll need to set it all up. We listened to several downloaded Desert Island Discs .
Davies and Scarlett caught up on various online things – they are both watching series and eagerly await the next episode being released online of things. They both did some bedroom tidying and Scarlett found £20 in her room she didn’t even know she had, the best sort of tidying! 🙂
When Ady fed the animals he discovered a dead turkey chick 🙁 So we’re down to five. Not sure if it had been strangled or squashed but it was all tangled up in the mother turkey’s feathers still and dangling from her. Ady tried blowing into it’s beak and massaging it’s chest as it was still warm although we suspect that was body heat from the mother rather than it’s own heat. Very sad though 🙁
I made dinner – tacos and tortilla wraps which I made from scratch as none of us felt like walking down to the freezer to get a packet of wraps out. Lengthy and as I don’t eat them anyway not rewarding in any sort of selfish manner but clean plates all round made it worthwhile. We watched the first episode of Lost which we’ve been telling D&S about for ages and felt was an essential part of their ongoing popular culture education 😉
