Day 7

Day 7 - Going nowhere!

Eddie took the car into work with the thought that if they closed the Churchill Barriers, then he would stay in Kirkwall & I would be home with Nacho.

The barriers link some of the smaller islands, & we were staying on the far side of them.  Normally things are fine, but when you have high winds and a high tide, the barriers are closed - This is why .....

Churchill Barriers on a very windy day

I really didn't fancy this , so I stayed put.  At this point I will mention, our house is the other side of the barriers, so this won't be an issue!!!

So this day was bit of a write off really, but it was an experience in wind like that, it was evil!!  Poor Nacho tried to wee twice & as he cocked his leg he got blown over - literally, so he started to wee like a girl dog!  He really is bright!

Looking forward to tomorrow, when the wind is due to drop!

Oh one good point today ........... the offer on the house was accepted!!  So it's going to be ours pending all the legal stuff that we now have to go through!! Yeehaa!!!
