Re-tuned the TV and its working better, but still stops and starts and goes into slowwwww motiion! Beautiful day here, but spent a long time doing cleaning and housework, as has some lovely guests coming to vist – Jacquie & Dave Bridges and their friend Graham. After tea and cakes, I showed them round my new abode – it was nice to have some visitors. In the evening I decided to do a WhatsApp call with Eddie M. – it was good to have a catch up. Thank you to those who have messaged and emailed with advice re Lucy, much appreciated.

Siberian Rubythroat on North Ronaldsay this evening, will we get one here? Fingers crossed!
