I've been, I've gone and I've come back

Goodness, you would not believe it!!!

I mentioned earlier that I had to head into the metropolis as I'd run out of milk for the coffee and I did that. I also got some odds and sods to keep me out of trouble. You know, brown bread (the sort I like, Hovis. They don't make them up here, we have to get them brought in, hopefully fresh), spam and some carrots too. It'll save all the hassle at dinner tonight.

I was lucky when I left, there was one petrol pump free, not something that you often see these days but there you go, it was there ready for the next driver this afternoon, this week, whenever.

I headed off home again, hoping that I could get in before it rained again this year and it wasn't a problem at all.

By the time I got in I was gasping for a cup of tea so that was what I made for myself, a good strong cuppa that I was glad of in this booming metropolis called Hillswick.

The Isle of Shetland

I see that Specsavers are going to the Isle of Shetland. Now, I'm not quite sure where that is. I'm here on the Shetland Islands, different place altogether.

Certainly, the Isle of Shetland is not around here but you know what? I think that they've made a great big mistake. I think that they mean Shetland, or perhaps the Shetland Islands but it's always a good reason to have a laugh, isn't it!!!

When you think about it, they've been coming up here for years and doing a very good job too, except for the prices of course.

I hope that I'm right and they are coming here. If they are going to the Isle of Shetland then why did they send me the advert - and how far will I have to row.

Opticians - and they can't see where they're going. Oh, I'll laugh all day, I will.

Now, where are my specs???
