Drainpipes

Drainpipes and guttering were the order of the day, still a heavy ground frost in the morning, which gave way to sunny and warm weather around 0930h and John H arrived to replace ours. Up early as Graham had promised to pick up Thomas B over the hill who was making a surprise visit to his sister our neighbour Christine as he was picking up a new car for his son. He will be on the same ferry as us to The Isle of Lewis tomorrow afternoon, and we will be staying with them during our visit there.
Started the bread, then took the wee fellow down to the beach had a great walk, Ruaridh has taken to paddling in the sea in the warm sunny weather.
Back home knocked the bread back and had lunch.
Spoke to Layla, her and Bella had breakfast with Louise.
Spoke to mum some difficulties but she is feeling better this evening.
Started to paint the pump house, almost finished when I saw this car coming in the gate, Graham had taken the Jeep for a run as it had a flat battery and met the car which belonged to our good chums Pete and Sheena. Great to see them, they came in had coffee and oatcakes and a good chat. They now live at The Muir of Ord, so no excuse we must vist them.
They didn't stay for dinner as they had this booked at the hotel where they were staying overnight.
Leek quiche, roast tatties and broad beans for dinner lovely, bread finished smells great.
Very tired having a cup of tea then bed. Goodnight.
