A very productive day in which teenagers acted a bit like teenagers which I found annoying.
After Popmaster this morning we all went down to the village, called at the shop to post letters, buy stamps and get milk, then along to the pier to meet the boat and send off empty jerry cans for petrol. We caught up with a few people there too which was good. Then along to the freezer to get some stuff out for dinner tomorrow and put some credit in the electric meter there, then along to the beach to gather seaweed. It was way quicker than we expected thanks to a good tide and a load of seaweed washed up. We filled about 15 bags really quickly, stashed them all on the roof and then drove back to the fork. We transferred everything in to the Rangerover then Bonnie and I walked back with the wheelbarrow while Ady and the kids drove across the river and part way up the croft. They went up and got lunch ready while Ady and I put the seaweed around all the fruit trees and bushes.
We watched the final part of the Gordon Buchanan polar bear diary and then Ady and I collected some wood and brought it up the hill while the kids cleared up lunch. I chopped the wood up while Ady cleaned out the chimney, then we went and got another wheelbarrow full each. I chopped a bit more and then Ady and I fed all the animals and walked around the top of the croft. It’s been a really still, misty, damp day but being outside for most of it has been good.
We came in and played a couple of rounds of Blokus and a game of frustration before putting the genny on. Roast pork (our own) for dinner and a desperation for lovefilm to get here as we have nothing new to watch which is causing friction!
