Its exactly a year ago today that I had my serious car accident – I won't ever forget that day. The same day that I saw the Beluga Whale here. It was a very stressful time all round, two days later on the 23rd January I moved into my new house in Scalloway.

Raining here, chilly house, but can't have another electric bill like last month. Daffodils are peeking up through the grass along the driveway – beginning of Spring! Looking forward to seeing lots of lambs skipping about in the fields and hills.

Strong winds commence on Friday and on/off for several days, more ferry disruption. Not quite sure what to do on my birthday next week, weather doesn't look great, but will go out to lunch somewhere and have an exhilarating beach walk in the 70% forecast rain! Planning to visit my sisters in March.
