What is it for?

 The heating company came back with our paperwork. He is getting someone in to sort the ceiling and put the carpets back for us. Yay!

Jill has been shifting rubble that came out of the path and step area. There was lots of it- 24 wheelbarrow loads.

It's all gone round the front to fix the old rockery.

Jill's creation is in place. A cat box in the eaves.

Then there was lots of timber shifting. 3 piles now down to one.

The good weather is really making the willows grow.

Some walkers came by today to say a sheep was stuck in the fence.  Jill called Alan to let him know and walked up the road. Luckily it was just a case of persuading the ewe to back up then out she popped.

Lots of hours outside

 Now trying to get the outside tidier and safer which is hard when it was an old farmyard!

Jill has worked on the retaining wall to get it looking smart and has put the chips back down. Just needed help with one whooper.

At some point there will be steps at the end.

We condensed the pile of timber to tidy the garden a bit.

The weather stayed lovely so a Personal Assistant day with Mark was a nice break from sanding down an old door to go in the extension later on.

We visited the Lunna peninsula looking for otters. Plenty of evidence along the shore but no beasties made an appearance. We did have a nice picnic by the Kirk. There were plenty of gannets and Skuas to watch.

We had a peerie walk along the shoreline and watched a lobster boat collecting creels. Mark was pleased to see his house from the other side of the bay.

Complaint in

 We didn't want to have to, but we put on a complaint about the heating company. We were lucky to get the grant but they did so much damage. We will see what happens.

Quieter couple if days. Yesterday Jill did the last bit of floor and put the skirting back. It needs some repair now and more paint!.

Also cut up some pallets for fire wood and put thee biggish stones in place for the retaining wall.

We wentvfor a lovely meal at Saffron with our super friends , Sarah and Mark, and came home to another unexpected visitor.

Putvthe shout out and it turned out this super friendly being is Erna, who had wandered over a mile. She is home again now. We dropped her in on the way for a photography day which didn't disappoint. Fetlarr.

Although this style didn't encourage me to go that way!.

Lots of nice birds today.

On the way home Rob stopped at the pier toilet while Jill found some more terns.
