Full Steam Ahead

Drizzle. Rain. Moderate Rain. Heavy rain. Slashing down. Rain stotting off the drive. Heavens open. Hail. Snow. Lightening. Thunder, so loud it woke us at 4.28 a.m. We couldn’t get to sleep again so I checked the sheep. I then had an oversized cheese scone a tea and two buns. CMC even had a hot drink. In the whole of this process she didn’t even leave the bed! We then read until 7.00 a.m. and then put the lights out. We even missed listening to radio Orkney!! We like to live life on the edge. We did manage to get up to visit the village post office and then go into Kirkwall for dancing. Back into town for more dancing this evening. I made the mistake of telling CMC that black underwear really gets me going. Ever since then she hasn’t washed me Y-fronts.

This boat made a dash for Stromness just before sundown. Another lazy Blip from the porch. We stood and watched him disappear into a hail storm rain from the North West.
