At last the weather has settled enough for the painters to risk tackling the outside of the The Moorings. This is a job that didn't get done after we moved in last year simply because we ran out of reliable weather.
It's really good to get the back of the house looking as tidy as the neighbouring properties. So many people stop on the wynd on the way up to the main street to take a picture of the backs of the cottages and the sea beyond. Now The Mooring's 'derriere' will appear in all the pics looking as neat and presentable as everyone else's!
But it's not just chores that become easier now that the weather is better and the evenings are longer. We can take more leisurely walks with the dogs and linger a bit longer on the skerries peering into rock pools and watching for seals in the harbour. Unfortunately it also gives Rory extra time to scavenge among the rocks for his favourite dead-crab snack and I've had to invest in a muzzle for him. It's comfortable and roomy on him but stops him from munching unmentionables, although we've had some wary looks from passers by. The muzzle makes him look really hard! Nothing could be further from the truth although it's done his street cred no harm at all.
