Great view from spinning today – over to Eday. Wonderful hospitality and a very nice still-warm-from-the-oven carrot cake. I completed my Show preparations this afternoon — and it’s still only Monday. Am now considering launching an assault on the baking class…

Tick tock, tick tock
The clock is ticking: efficiency manoeuvres now include side by side simultaneous blocking.
A good Saturday
Mr L spent much of his day in grinding down the old concrete Rayburn plinth. He has given up for now and ordered a more powerful SDS drill. Me, I passed the time in knitting on a long stitch scarf that I cast on last night in order to make a second entry in the …
A tale of two islands
Sanday was swathed in a heavy haar when I left this morning – everything was grey and dew-bedecked. Kirkwall on the other hand was bathed in dazzling sunshine. It was HOT and not at all pleasant for doing the shopping. I ducked into the hairdressers and sat it out whilst being shorn. On the bright …
On Safari
We’ve been on a garden safari, in search of our missing cat, Treacle. He’s been out since 08:30, which is not his normal behaviour since he suffered a stroke. We’re getting a little worried.

Me and my shadow
We decided to make the most of the weather and to get an early handle on the weekend by making a picnic tea and going for a walk. We ambled down to the village and ate our tea sitting on a capstan on the pier, watching the [s]world[/s] seals go by and then (shock! horror!) …
Job Done
We were languishing in the bath last night when we heard the sounds of a heavy vehicle and the dogs began to bark. We both realised instantly what was afoot – the floor tiles had arrived and our local haulier had brought them around on the fork lift. In fact he was towing a trailer …
Veggie Lunch
The very next time I start to moan about having to go to town or about how much I hate going shopping… please remind me of how much fun I am having with two full salad drawers in my fridge. I spent a joyful morning in the kitchen today, making a blue cheese and broccoli …
