Hairdressers in the morning. Lerwick was busy with lots of cruise ship tourists enjoying the sunshine on another gorgeous day here. My hairdresser Aimee was telling me about Zetland Bakery, a new bakers in 'toon' that I have not been to yet, so went to check it out – I bought a mint aero cheesecake and four brown rolls. The cheesecake was a "10 from Pen" and the brown rolls were particularly nice and had weight to them, yet they were light, best bread I've had here. Pop into to see Logan who is the baker and owner of this first class bakery and I'm sure you will be tempted by some home bakes. I also noticed cheese scones and sausage rolls for sale. I did highlight that if there had been a veggie sausage roll I would have bought one – Logan said he had had several people asking for veggie rolls, so he may do these at a later date.
Went to Planticrub and bought a sitting hen and chicks for my garden – they look good on the front step! My garden is looking at its best right now, but the Livingstone Daisies seemed to have burnt out already, which I hadn't expected. All my buddleias are looking good, no butterflies seen, but plenty of bee action. The usual House Sparrows, Starlings and Collared Doves feeding in the garden and Curlews calling on Gallow Hill in the evenings. Someone photographed and reported (on the Lepidoptera WhatsApp group) an Emperor Dragonfly at St Ninian's Ayre yesterday, which is a second for Shetland!
I'm burnt out from DIY, so not done much this weekend, but will crack on tomorrow in the heavy rain which is forecast all day, along with Storm Floris – a temporary end to Summer. Its reported as the hottest July on record here in the local news! Also made my final choice and re-ordered my DFS delivery on the 1st August, so should hopefully everything will arrive by mid to late September. Had to put the head midge net on again this evening, just to get the washing in!
