Nothing ever happens on wednesday.

Wednesday 1st December 2010
Well nothing happened this wednesday anyway.
There was more snow this morning but once again Mr Scott from the farm at the end of the road made it down the hill and more impressively he made it back up again. (This is not to imply that Mr Scott is a doddering old man. What I meant was Mr Scott drove his car down and up the hill) I think that he has a secret 4 wheel drive in his car.

Unexpextedly the plumbers came up. I didn't think that they would chance it and I think that perhaps they wish that they hadn't bothered. They got one of their vans up here but had to leave the other one at the bottom of the hill. They then had to take a wheelbarrow down to the van and fetch some stuff up the hill. I would think that it must be an interesting experience trying to push a heavy wheelbarrow up a steep, ice covered hill.

The tug was in Water Sound again so I suppose they are going to shift the rest of the salmon cages from the village to Hoy. They have made them very quickly, working 7 days a week but then the general consensus is that they are Polish. At least they speak in a funny language and work hard 7 days a week so they must be Poles.

I noticed the scallop boat going out this afternoon but thought that it was probably not worth breaking bones or worse just for a few cheap scallops so they will have to wait for a bit.
