Getting on with it

 


The delivery arrived...how he managed to get the ton bag and two small pallets of slabs down perfectly in the 40+ mph gusty winds I don't know!

 Very skillful.

I have been listing more items on Etsy...my work this time.

The red dumpy candlestick is on, the small biscuit jar..for small biscuits?!..will go on tomorrow.  Just like fleabay, little and often works better than a huge number at once.

This afternoon we had a birthday present to send to a friend, so that was the first job on a trip to Ayr. Then banking followed by a cuppa in our favourite bookshop...and  an up to date map..and a book of course!

A quick hop to a local supermarket for food shopping and then fuel from Sainsbugs....£1.48 a litre, not so bad as some places.  We decided that from now on we will shop more often and travel by bus as we won't be able to carry so much. We have been doing a main shop once every fortnight..but that is only possible when using the car.

So unless we have a journey that has to be done by car, bus it will be...and bike once more pleasant weather arrives.   It certainly hasn't been pleasant for the past couple of days. Strong and gusty cold winds with rain sleet and hail.

Tomorrow we have bricklaying and oggin spreading to do... hopefully there will be pictures!!

oh how i wish i could ride a bike sometimes! I am using my car much less and enjoying walking into town for shopping. Good luck with your Etsy sales.

Joanne that makes it half what we pay at a supermarket. A dollar a litre makes it 76 pence, we paid £1.49 yesterday.
Named petrol companies charge up to ten pence more, and motorway prices are ridiculous.
