The thaw began today, but will be overridden by more snow showers, strong winds and ferrry disruption until the end of Thursday. Friday will be a balmy 3 degrees and sunshine, which will work out just right for the Scalloway Fire Festival if the forecast stays that way! Took all the Christmas decorations down, which took forever – all looks very boring now. Still lots of birds in the garden, but no sign of my Fieldfare. Back to work tomorrow.
