Moving to Orkney

As usuall after feeding cats and dogs I made my morning cuppa and then checked the outside temperature, Saturday morning 8.15am and the temps reading 23.6 degrees Celsius. That can't be right re-check it and its now 23.8! So I take myself out into the garage and garden room and yes it really is that warm, shocked and stunned at that heat so early in the morning, so I decided to make the most of it and got beds stripped and washing machine doing several lots, to be honest it is far too warm to work or even sit in the garden room but I did get lots of little jobs done in and around the house. Even the cats think it's too warm, they are both chilling out inside on the clean bed.

Sunday morning and it couldn't be more different, very wet and extremely windy, gusting up to gale force. But then this is Westray where you can experience all four season in one day let alone one weekend! So Sunday was another inside day, lots of knitting and crosswords to be done.

After supper the heavens opened good and proper boy did it rain. Our little drip over the door suddenly turned into a gusher, really it was like someone had turned a tap on. It has never in seven years come through like that, so next sunny day we will be on the roof as there must be a crater opened up.
