Christmas carer party.

 It's continued being very wet and windy with some stunning rough seas. Definitely wouldn't fancy being on the ferry!

Watsness was stunning.

Jill didn't fancy going on the beach as the waves would have been over head height.

Yesterday, Jill did a bit more of the flooring.

Just a few fiddly bits left to cut.

Then Jill headed to town to meet up with Sarah for our carer Christmas lunch at Fjara. It was lovely and a good natter was had.

We are still working on our issue with the plumbing company. They have not responded so we have logged the complaint with the body that licence air source heat pump installers. We now have to submit a report with all the details. It looks like there will be help to sue too. We can't believe they are continuing with their stance of refusing to speak to their insurers, it could mean they lose their licence to trade.

Bit of chilling

 We have had a full on year so, having a period with no guests has been good.

We did have a short birdie session in-between showers but it's very quiet. Just a lot of gulls, shags and tystie.

At home, Rob has been doing the accounts while Jill has been working on the tiling. It's coming along pretty well. 

The chickens have had an early Christmas treat.

Nearly ready for Christmas.

Storm Bram

 Several days of pretty crappy weather due to Storm Bram.

Jill did her PA day but it was too horrible to go out. She ate her lunch by the sea at Mossbank before going  and tried to take some shots of all the shags that were feeding there, but the sea was so rough most just had the top of the head in. 

The afternoon got curtailed as the wind really picked up. It was a pretty nasty drive home.

With the weather being so bad, Jill put up some more lights and has just about finished latexing the floor. It took ages as we had to do a bit, and wait of it to dry as we need access.

The wind has snapped the string of outdoor lights.

Yesterday we did some Christmas shopping in the wind and rain. The sea had a very dramatic day.

The starlings around the house have been gathering in big numbers. Well over 1000 in the barn this year.

They were watching me from the roof taking shots of the lovely sunset.

Rob has had 3 hospital appointments this week so there hasn't been time for much else!
