Today was my turn to do the work in exchange for work done for us. When we were in Edinburgh a few weeks ago John H looked after our greenhouse for us. He and his wife are away on holiday and although his mum-in-law is looking after the house for them them, she required help to do the change over at The Lodge the place they rent out. I went down about 1130h and it took me about an hour and a half to do what was required. Sheila is a lovely lady and I enjoyed meeting her. Got a telephone call from her this afternoon to say she could not lock the door of The Lodge, and would I go down, I was busy but explained how to do it, if not successful to give me a phone!
Graham took Ruaridh to the Brochs to do a Time Lapse picked me up, back home lunch! Then I started to do the strimming, as G not very well bad cold and chest.
Layla telephoned to say Bella had been upset when she saw her mum use the hairdryer, bless her. They had a lovely time at Onya's birthday lunch, Happy Birthday Onya!
Went down to lock the door for Sheila as she could not manage. Looked like it was the village schools Sports Day!
Risotto frittata, roast potatoes and broad beans for dinner, lovely. Done a little knitting of a jumper for Bella. Now to bed. Goodnight.
