Snow and ice remains. There were icicles hanging from my bird feeders this morning!
This morning was a white out. After scraping off a few inches of snow from my car, I started my journey to work extremely slowly. Luckily everyone else was being sensible too. It took me nearly an hour to get to work, when it normally take 15 mins max. A long queue of traffic along the A970 into Lerwick and mostly in first gear. On a positive note, the skies were truly stunning – if only I had been able to take some pictures of the dramatic colours of black, grey and white clouds intermingled with patches of blue skies and sunshine and all the hills sprinkled in snow. The roads had cleared a fair bit on the return journey this evening, but not funny in the dark and scary reversing uphill onto my drive, but got back safely.
I discovered that the pine floor boards gaps that I filled in my bedroom at the weekend, has been a complete waste of time. I was shocked to see it mixed with water and now like quick sand – oh well, I tried my best as an amateur, will have to seek advice from my builder this week.
The Tourist Information Centre closed its doors for the last time today and with this the three live webcams that view the Market Cross, Tourist Office and Esplanade!!! All very, very sad indeed.
Happy Birthday Dearest Vivien!
💖 🤗 🎉 💝 🥳 🍫 💐 💞
Lots of Love Penny

Vivien and Ray are on a Winter mooring with their narrow boat and no post is allowed to be sent to them, so I managed to send presents via Amazon to an Amazon locker for Vivien to retrieve! Worked fantastically well! Here is one of the presents I bought for Vivien, which I knew would make both her and Ray chuckle! 😂 Poor Vivien has not had the best birthday, as she hasn't been and still isn't very well with a viral/cold infection, but she did birthday brunch with Ray, so still did something nice.

It was very nice to be asked to write something on how I felt about my job as an Occupational Therapy Assistant. I did write much more than above (typical me!), but obviously space only allows so much, so I guess it needed to be shortened and made more concise! I was one of a few other team members who's thoughts have been published daily this week on the NHS Shetland Facebook page (which is for public viewing). It was good to have our service highlighted, as not everyone knows what an OT is. Here is the link if you would like to read more: 💙
Last night I managed to order presents off Amazon for Vivien's birthday on Monday and get them delivered to an Amazon locker, close to where Vivien and Ray have the boat moored for the Winter months – you are not allowed to send post to where they are staying. It took quite a while to sort, as many of the lockers in the area would not accept delivery for various reasons.
Studio/office bookshelves painted with the last coat of paint and finally looking fabulous with glossy brilliant white front edges. I can now finally start moving loads of things into the office!
My tyres are being swopped to Winter tyres tomorrow morning, there is no fixed appointment time – but I have to drop the car off at 8am, so will then walk home and wait for a telephone call to say they are ready. Hoping very much to see a Great Shearwater this weekend, fingers crossed!
