Living up here in Shetland as a middle-age student works really well. Studying while living on your own means no disturbance, you are free to get on with it as you choose, take a break when you choose, take a walk and think through what you have just learned, again as you choose and all as it suits you. And as an old-aged, middle-aged student like me, it really works.
Things have changed so much in the world, thanks to the computer, that living up here is not as it used to be. Anything that you require, from clothing to furniture, whatever, is available on the internet. Shetland is no longer restricted as it was before. We no longer need to get on the boat and go down to Aberdeen - or Edinburgh, as we used to be able to many years ago. We just order on-line and live with the rest of the world.
Now it's time to do something useful I think. Time to make breakfast and today I fancy a large bowl of - porridge!!!
