I’M in the office working on some gifts orders and packing some CDs to go out when the roofing guys arrive.
There’s a black – previously grey – patch on oiuyr bedroom ceiling and when I investigated it looked like the roof boards were sodden.
To cut a long story short, after a bit of poking around we’re told we need an entire new roof…and it’ll be £15k. Fuck sake. Aside from not having the money or access to a loan of that amount, guess we need a second opinion…
A customer comes to pick up some custom hip flasks then I have some lunch before getting ready to go for a paddle with Fiona and David B.
It’s windier than forecast on the loch but we have a good paddle…I come a cropper when one of my fins catches a rock under the surface and I bash my shin on another rock. Ouch.
Back home I have a shower then make a batch of breakfast patties before Jeanetta pops in for a chat and drink. Catriona and the kids are coming to stay to night but won’t be here ’til after 8pm. I need to make a batch of rub and prep some chicken thighs for the smoker tomorrow.
Finally, I make pizza dough with the polish I made yesterday.
It’s after 10pm but the time I have the mushroom risotto ready…then we sit up til 2am blethering…
