Shetland's shortening day

Today the sun came up at 8.27 and went down again at 3.15. That cannot be called a long day, now can it.

A good day but a short one.
In just over a week the sun comes up at 8.50 in the morning and goes down again at 3.00 in the afternoon. That's about six hours of sunlight - how much shorter can the day get? Will it be worth getting out of bed in the morning? Will I still be snoring in the afternoon? Who can tell and who cares :))

0345am

I woke at 3.45 this morning and the curtains above my bed were light. Now that's early, in Shetland, in style!!!

I'm having another breakdown

Awe jings, it's half past nine in the morning and I'm having a breakdown. Can I take it? Will I last until tea-time? We'll wait and see!!!

I suffer from hay-fever and part of that is house dust, carpet bugs and bed bugs and a bloke living on his own is a bit of a disaster and I admit it - I am that man!!! So today I am dealing with the problem. I'm washing the bedding, vacuuming the carpets, the sofa, seats, chairs, stairs and the bed. If it stay still, I'll vacuum it. If it doesn't stay still then I'll chase it and then vacuum it.

I don't want to do any sneezing tonight - or wheezing or scratching for that matter ;))

I've done the hall and the living room, even the kitchen and when I finish my cuppa I'm heading up the stairs to vacuum the bedroom carpet, the matress and the pillows - and I will stand proud.

I will stand proud and tell everyone - everyone - that I have spent the morning reading the news and drinking tea :))

A horrible today

I'm going to stay inside today, I'm not going outside. Since I got out of bed and looked out of the window, it's been raining continually. One other thing that I'm not going to do today is water the wee trees. They've possibly been drowned already this morning.

Just as well the computer is in front of me, it helps to keep me in touch with my reality - no-one elses, I must admit but my reality will keep me out of trouble and on track for a wee while.

It's great, it's the laptop, which means that I can do away and if I have to stop and think, I can peek out of the window and watch my friends with wings flying here and there, stopping when they are peckish to have a wee bite to eat out of the feeder.

Right, nuff said, it's time for a good strong cuppa :))

Oh, I forgot - it's @GeorgeHears if you're interested!!!

Sunny Shetland

I've cocked it up again. A real beezer this time but I suppose it's something that we all can do. The trouble is, sleeping in this morning has been timed really badly. I woke up twenty minutes ago, sprang out of bed and immediately realised just what the weather was like.

The snow is but history, there is no wind at all and the sun is beating down, just ready for me to get a cup of coffee out there to top up my permanently sun-burnt skin.

I reckon that, come ten o'clock I'll have it all done and I'll be out there, basking in it.

Oh, I nearly forgot, Scotland. Shetland sends its regards :))
