My girlfriend and I

We're all home in Shetland now, my girlfriend and I, and of course the wee cat. In all honesty, not so long ago he was a kitten but he's settled quickly and yesterday he made his first visit into the back garden. The window was left open for him, he took a quick sniff of the air and jumped out. Now he jumps in and out all the time.

The sun is out today and the wind is non-existent which is good for people to move into but it won't be long until both Kate and the cat are both aware just what the weather can be like on the Atlantic coast - and let's be honest - it's only three or four miles away from the North Sea. No protection to be had here at all.

It's going to be a good life for us here in Northmavine at the northern end of Mainland, here in Shetland. It's a good place to live if you appreciate a quiet life, surrounded by lots of natural life, both on the land and in the sea. It's amazing how many seals, dolphins and whales that you see in the water.

Must admit, I've never caught a kipper yet though :))

The Scottish North Harassment Division

Having just put the my blog up, the postman popped by with my mail - and look and see what it is!!!

The dreaded black threat. I've already had the red one but it isn't relevant to me as I don't watch the telly, certainly not the stuff that you need a license for, which they give out absolutely no information about as far as I can see. Doesn't matter, I do not watch the telly so why should I have to put up with this garbage

Thank goodness that I'm taking up the knitting because I'll be waiting long enough for them to turn up. I suppose that I should ask Sarah, who sent the offensive and threatening letter, what size she is, I could do a nice jumper for her in a really threatening and offensive colour scheme.

Just her style :))
