Monday 30th December

Breezy and dry – not as wet or windy as forecast, although the wind was strong overnight and there had been a wee bit rain. We seem to be missing the worst of the weather at the moment.

Read late into the night last night; so tired this morning, so had a wee lie in until 10am. What a treat!. I was reading the Scottish Independence Convention’s Transitions Papers. They probably need a bit of an update (and a decent proof reader) – most were written in 2020/21– but they are very good.

I think we had a bit of rain overnight – I’m sure I heard it battering on the Velux. Definitely milder this morning, with light cloud. Dan’s decided to ask Murdo to come two days next week, rather than tomorrow. The trees for the Spinney should have arrived by then and the ground should be soft enough to plant them.

Still working on the speech. Sold a table and a chest freezer. And a bone saw.

Tuesday 7th January

Cold and dry. Speech coming together. Sold the bottles – yay!

I think we had a bit of rain overnight – but much milder. Windy, so making it feel a bit raw. Showed 11C on the car this morning. Overcast for most of the day.

Dan weeded what will be the heather bed – we have 150 heathers to plant this week, so I’m planning to make a start tomorrow.

The cats are enjoying what they hope is a cat gym. It’s not.
