Above Stromness (Day 1308)

It was frosty for the morning woofer wander this morning, but there was bright sunshine and no wind making for a fairly pleasant walk.
In anticipation of being fairly busy with a couple of bathrooms to fit in the next couple of weeks, I am having a more relaxed week work wise. With the great weather this morning, it seemed a good idea to accompany my beautiful wife for a ride out on the horses. Billy behaved himself fairly well, only having a minor strop as we walked past a couple of horses in a field. He wanted to stop and discuss the weather, but I was keen to keep him moving. Eventually he paid attention and we carried on with our ride. I am gaining in confidence and feeling more comfortable riding him. Today was mostly just walking with a little bit of trotting when I persuaded him (and myself) that it was a reasonable idea. 
The view from the hill above Stromness was lovely and I managed to get Billy to stand still for long enough to snap a quick shot on the mobile.
Back at home HV and I had a quick lunch before heading to Evie for a walk along the beach with the dogs. The tide was really low and the dogs thoroughly enjoyed the huge expanse of sand.
Later I collected some bits in town for a job tomorrow, then spent a while sloshing a bit more undercoat on our skirting boards and door frames. One more coat on the skirting boards and everything will be ready for the top coat.
