They're getting to know all about it

The robins are getting to know where the food is and they are also getting used to me having a cup of coffee in the living room as well - and all so quickly too.

Now, they take no notice of me, they just get stuck in, scaring away the little sparrows as they go about their breakfast, lunch or tea.

I'm surprised too. Along with this feeder I bought winter food, expecting it to arrive after the summer stuff. It really doesn't seem to have mattered to them though. Having said that though, when the summer order does arrive it will be put away for a month or so. Timing of the seasons here in Shetland does run a bit late, in fact it runs a bit confused at times so I'll be a bit more careful in the future.

In fact, I may make sure that both are out at the same time and then we'll perhaps find out whether it's winter or summer. A bit of confusion here I think. Where have Spring and Autumn gone. They might be around for a short spell, I suppose ;))

You don't need to do it after all

Sorry to get you all on the go but you don't need to make all those sandwiches after all. The plants are all planted, as are the cacti. If and when they ever pop up then I'll let you all know and we'll have a cup of tea in celebration.

Now I'll pester everyone while I wait for them all to raise there beautiful wee heads. Be warned - there'll be no sleep for a few weeks until they pop up to say "Hello!!!" to us.

Easter Midden

Jimminy jings, I've gotten rid of all the problem that I had on my computer last week and I've just had a great surprise - It's Easter Monday and thanking whatever you choose to, the midden truck came round and picked up the rubbish that I'd put out this morning, just after I'd pulled my breeks on and right before I'd washed my armpits, thank goodness no-one had come around for a cup of tea at that point.

Surprising though, as it's Easter there is a lot closed, which makes it a bit of a pain in the proverbial but the shop is open and so is the doctor. Not only that, the binmen must be atheists like me, yeah, spot on :))

The Weather

Since I last wrote this morning, I've been out and down to the local shop to buy bread and milk, you know, all the fun things in life. When I was out it was absolutely still and the sun was beaming out so I've made plans. Tomorrow morning I'll have a reasonably early breakfast and be out the door sharpish to walk from Hillswick to Eshaness It will be a lovely walk, about six miles there so twelve altogether and halfway there is a smashing place, the Braewick Cafe that sells smashing teas and coffees. Not only that but good food too. No doubt I'll have a cuppa both on the way there and on the way back too.
