So, we now have a new inner front door. That’s two out of three doors fitted. We are already registering increased comfort levels. This door has a smart blue face on the other side that will be a match for the new range cooker when we get it. We had wanted it to face inwards …

House Goddess
This peedie figure is a “Neolithic House Goddess” from the Harray Potter. Me, I think it looks like nothing so much as a Catty Face (or Short-eared Owl)
Corrigall – backblip
Wednesday morning dawned fine again, though with more breeze and less heat than the previous two days. This I preferred and was far more comfortable. After breakfast, dog play, and conversation with the man at the Broch, we headed across the island and over the hill. That’s the first hill that I have been up …

Eynhallow Sound – backblip

The day began with a dog walk at the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_of_Skaill]Bay of Skaill[/url], followed by a perfect camping breakfast of fried bacon in Morning Rolls.

Skaill Sunset – backblipped
Me and Mr L, together with Suzie and Nell, set off for our first trip in Brunhilde on Monday morning. We caught the early ferry and were on Mainland for 09:15. The dogs had a run at Weyland and then we went shopping at Lidl and Tesco for some supplies and into town for more …
Progress
This is the old back door, from the utility room. It’s off and the new UPVC door is fitted. It’s going to make a big difference ot my life. The utility room is unheated and the external door is North-facing on the West side of the property, so exposed to all the worst of our …
Snail shell
Mr L arrived home on this morning’s ferry with our new-to-us camper van. She’s in her middle years, I reckon, at 22 but she seems a game old bird. We had a run up the island in her this afternoon and enjoyed some startlingly unseasonable weather at Lopness. The dogs behaved well – Suzie on …

DIY Day 2
The inside front door is off and the frame is out. Some extensive mortar and cement repairs now needed before the new door can go in. It’s handy that Mr L is away for 24 hrs from tomorrow morning, he can patch this afternoon and leave plenty of drying time before continuing the job. The …
