Francis - to get help with handwriting we really need you to show the entire page - Please.
A mobile phone pic is usually fine (no fancy camera) but one needs to see the edge of the page in order to know whether a word comes to an end or runs over onto the next line.
My OH decyphers letter for an archive so we are used to this.

Mountain(s) comes to Mohammed
This dreich Shetland afternoon saw me taking Efstur and Kappi to the vet for their injections. Well, that was the theory. A certain small orange thing, yes thing, decided he had never seen the hors…

Sludging with my Sledge
After my chores of the horsey and pony variety, I went off to town to try and knock my Christmas shopping on the head. I tell myself that this year I will be organised. So I tidied myself up into…

Getting my Christmas shopping done early - get me!
Force 10 Coming
Tonight, and tomorrow are not going to be pleasant. Rain and gusting Force 10 so this morning, Floss and I prepared for the onslaught and then got ready to batten down the hatches. The Minions are…

Battening down the hatches
Ugh! The Weather
Well, we had rather a night of it. The rain hurtled down while the wind viciously attacked. Indoors it sounded like a train was rushing past and the house shook and creaked. The old men (Haakon a…

One day it might stop raining
Always There
I set out this morning, after dishing out hay and extra feed for those that needed, with a wee bag of carrots to see the ponies that live outwith Thordale. At their field gate, hoping I would offer…

Weathering the Storm
We are going hour-by-hour, making no major decisions, basically just getting through the next few days until this filthy weather subsides. Today was not as bad as I thought it would be. First thin…

Fair Shares
Yesterday, Floss declared that she was missing the Minions so came along for the ride clutching a bag of carrots. Of course she was instantly Miss Popular. Therefore, I used the opportunity to use…

Always fair with carrots.
Love my Boys
Everyone has been moved to Clothie, 5 acres of field that hasn’t been touched since Haakon and Iacs left it over a month ago. After the storm, I thought it would be a good place for the youn…

Just Black and White
I thought I would go black and white today. Something different. There was a brief lull in the rain so I went out with my big camera to capture the magic. Shetland is always beautiful, I remind mys…

A Bright Thing in the Sky
There was this bright thing shining up in the sky this morning. Very strange but I made the most of it and went out to take photos of my old men (and Her Maj) in their field. Klængur has joined t…

Out for a ride - wonderful
Over-Christmassed Songs
And so to town for my absolute last (but it might not be) Christmas shop. En route, I fed the ladies (OH kindly taking the Sandness route for me to check on Brá and Minions). There are actually th…

The last of my Christmas shopping - yes, that really is it. Probably.
Waffling About Waffle
I don’t waffle on nearly enough about Waffle. Out of them all, Waffle is my sensible little chap who I can rely on in any crisis. He has always had a very grown-up (and beautiful) head on hi…

You can rely on Waffle
Another Black Beauty
While Taktur eats his “Handsome Prince” food and Efstur also has his “Potential-Athlete-(watch-this-space)” food, the other two, that would be Dreki Dragon and Kappi, are ca…

Proud of this lad. He is gorgeous.
The Orange Tit!
