Fun weekend recovery!

Food, fun and carty's! (plus dancing and drink!) The weekend was good, quite hectic. I was looking after Alan and Lal's dog which was fun to have some company. The weather wasn't the best, it was a bit windy but mostly dry at least. Sunday was warm while the carty races were on. Lal and I had fun making a sand sculpture of the Knap of Howar (minus the kids) on Sunday afternoon, in the sand castle competition. I was still feeling the effects this morning but have since perked up. Irn bru works wonders! I hope to nab some photos from other people as I didn't have my camera with me.

Talking of photos, there will be none at the moment from me as the dial up doesn't like photos.

It's suddenly July!

I can't beleive it's July already. Workwise things have calmed down a lot. I'm no longer trying to fit in hundreds of surveys in a very short space of time. I'm actually able to start thinking about maintenance (ah ha, more painting!) and I'm no longer running around like a headless chicken.

The social season has hit the island. Well, it is a very social place anyway but the fun weekend is approaching and it should be great. Crafts, silly games, tug o' war, football, cakes(!), carty races plus music, dancing and alcohol! Whats not to like.

I'm having visits from friends and mum and dad soon, which will make the time go even quicker. I'll have to start looking for somewhere to stay on Orkney mainland for the winter.
