I worked the charity shop from 2-5 and cleaned out the book shelves...she has so many books for sale....I'd guess around 1,000 or so. Sara helped for a bit, too, and we really tidied up the books good!
A couple came in to the charity shop that we had seen in Eshaness (I'm sure this is no surprise to you anymore either!).
The young man who rescued Marley came in today to see him. He has been following Marley's progress and was very excited to see him. It was an amazing thing to do...to save Marley. You see, he is a salmon fisherman and works on a barge at the salmon farms here. Most salmon fisherman are not friends with the seals. The seals, by their nature, go to the salmon farms and try to eat the salmon. The fisherman guarding the seals react by shooting the seals. It's been a problem here. So for this young man and his 2 friends to rescue the seal and call Jan and Pete, is very encouraging and hopeful to see.
Did some laundry today and hung some of if outside to dry and hung the rest inside the kitchen on a rack in the ceiling...operated on a pulley. The heat of the Rayburn (peat burning stove) is what dries it...and it makes the clothes smell amazing!
Do you see the rope on the right side? Well, you unhook it and let the rack come down, then you load the clothes on and raise the rack back up.
Here's another detail of the Rayburn:
and the kitchen sink where many dishes are cleaned
Jan fixed a feast for our last dinner here...this beautiful salad from the garden...
and this zucchini lasagna...that was amazing! We celebrated our time spent here over dinner. They have been so nice!
