Computer time.

 The weather has been pretty but not great for working outside so we have both been doing stuff on the computers. Clearing space and soting paperwork.

The snow has been mingled with fairly heavy hailstorm.

We made it to Robs nurse appointment with no problem.

Overnight we had a very loud hailstorm and looking at the ground in the morning some where 5p size.

More computer stuff but Jill popped out to deliver our donated auction prize for the swimming club.

Diverted on the way home to see some stunning views.

Did see some chilly looking wildlife. The hare was tricky to spot.

Snaa

 This morning we woke to a good sprinkling of the white stuff. A mixture of hail stones and snaa.

Jim popped over for a chat about where we are at, and we made a list of materials that we currently need. He will be back tomorrow .

Our visiting cat needed to go home - nearly 4 miles away! After an early lunch we gingerly headed out. It was a bit rutty but not too bad, so we dropped him to his home and headed to town to get supplies.

It wasn't too bad out West. Whiteness had more on the ground though so we took it carefully.

After picking up the window that was having the glass changed and lots more expanding foam, we picked up a coffee and drove back, just as it started snowing again. Very dramatic  light on the way back.

Foula and the house were looking really good.

 Safely home it was time to light the log burner. 

Still no news from motability about the car charger.

Visiting

 Busy weekend.

Jill has been busy on social media trying to find the owner of the white and black cat, with no luck. It will get scanned tomorrow, fingers crossed.

 Update. Owner found. Yay

We had a nice Friday morning wake up call.

The new bed headboard is perfect for scaring the crap out of your owners!

Friday was usual appointment day with Rob visiting Podiatry and the eye clinic. The damage caused by the sepsis is healing so it's looking good. His eye infection has all cleared up.

We had a nice bonus on the way in. A Velvet Scoter at the Brig O Waas.

Jill found a bit of time to pop to the charity shop and found a lovely Christmas wreath. Bargain at £3 and a new Geri bed so she can sleep near Jill!

We had an appointment with our super MP Alastair.  The grant for the solar panels is not going to plan and we are still stuck in the middle of planning refusing to allow them on the roof and the grant people refusing to put them on the ground. When we have no neighbours and it's only a C listed house it all seems very petty and actually stupid. Alastair agrees and going to set up a meeting. We also asked for some advice about the issue with ohme and our car charging point. A real help.

Then, told you we've been busy, we went to visit our friend Penny. Her house is now toastie warm and nearly painted. Looking lovely. We sorted Robs dirty boot out so he doesn't wreck the new carpet. We think it's very on trend.

Saturday we wasted most of the day sorting charging out. Won't bore you with the details but it didn't go to plan with broken charging units and no phone signal to use the app to pay for a charge. Sigh. This meant we didn't get any birdwatching in and left late to go visiting.

It was blooming windy and wet too for in and outing of the car. Jill got absolutely soaked. Super sea though!

Could watch it all day.

We had a smashing evening with our friends at Mossbank. Mark makes super dooper cocktails so we talked too much and tried lots of his specialities. Jill officially loves Mojitos. Sarah gave up her crafting room for us so we didn't have to drive back. Cracking evening with awesome company.

This morning we woke to snow. It was very patchy but was laying on the roads so we got to try out the four wheel drive capabilities of the Skoda. All good .

We dropped a sample canvas in for a potential customer and ate lunch at the harbour. Lots of shags and long tailed ducks.

The light was terrible. 

On the way home we found a very obliging hare in winter coat.

There were a few bits and bobs at Mekby including s distant otter but the sea was very rough.

Geri was very pleased to see us
