My Broadband Mess
Our broadband is hopeless, I mean seriously hopeless with no chance of it ever getting better. No fast fibre or fibre to the cabinet (FTTC) for us. Just a humble 1950’s copper wire snail me…

Our pathetic broadband. We need to change.
Still Sorting Out
My wifi/broadband ordeal continues. Part the Two now it is Monday. I spent most of my morning talking to BT, who were actually incredibly helpful so a big thank you to Dylan who did his absolute …

It never ends - my broadband trials, so I went to look at poisonous funghi instead!
Crofting Chores
(lots of photos – sorry!) I was just heading upstairs to bed last night when I thought to myself “I wonder if the Merrie Dancers are out?” So out I trudged outside and looked nort…

Spent my afternoon lugging water here there and everywhere!
Moved them All
I decided that no one really needed to be in the “storm field” and I want to save that for when the weather is revolting so the old horses and ponies have access to the best shelter and grass. So, …

Moved the old horses and ponies to my five acre croft.
No Words
I spent my day spent changing routers so we are now using mobile wifi. In some ways, we are much better off by having faster internet speeds, but there is a downside too – we have now lost o…

Setting up new broadband router. I have no words. So, I took some nice photos from yesterday. Enjoy
Lambie and Bert Baby pics
This winter, I have the unenviable task of going through all my digital photographs as my hard disk is full and my computer is full. I will admit that I have been putting this job off for about ten…

Going through a stack of old photos to make space on hard disk.
BeAnne, Celt, Jack and Wu
I think these photos come from 2009 – 2013. So many memories and actually, you know what, I am happy to see them all again. I’ve stopped being sad about the past. They are all still i…

Old memories from going through the old photos.
Old Photos – Scenery
Today I went through over 1,000 photos this morning. It seems I have taken a lot of photos – in fact, I still do – and every so often there’s a good ‘un. This is all from 2…

Scenery ones today. Memories.
A Change of Scenery
I had a change of scenery today. No going through photos and making sheep for me. Obviously, I had to do all my morning chores first. But, as I had lots to do, I decided to go without breakfast an…

I went to town today to start my Christmas shopping.
Day from Hell – Vet Called
My morning started with Tiddles who didn’t want his breakfast. Instead he lay down in front of me and said he would like to die, please. Please, no! I got him up and he did an enormous sloppy…

My day from hell. Vet called to see three horses/ponies. I am now worrying.
Buckets and More Buckets
My day started as it meant to go on mostly with many buckets. While I fed the others at the top of the field, Haakon was still struggling to walk, so I broke the habit of a lifetime and took his br…

My day in buckets with added sheep
To the Clickimin Craft Fair 2025
My Saturday afternoon is usually spent playing flute duets with Mandy so we went to the Clickimin Craft Fair instead, which is another of our annual traditions. We both like a good craft fair, we d…

A day out to see some Lovely Things at the annual Christmas craft fair.
Only Problems
I am trying to feed up Pepper and get some weight on her. Due to her one day on/one day off meal regime, Pepper is losing weight and I don’t like that. The problem is that she is always on t…

Haakon (my Icelandic horse) update.
Pepper (my Patterdale terrier) update.
All too much worry.
A Pony of Very Little Brain
My heart lifted this morning when I saw Haakon waiting for me. Hewas walking a little bit better. Less agony and more strength of purpose. So I led him up to the garden to soak his hoof (not sure…
myshetland.co.uk
Haakon is a little better. Fingers crossed.
Albie has no brain. It is official.
All Things Biotin
Today, I made a quick trip into town to get all things biotin for Haakon’s hoof as well as get my hair cut. I spent my morning at the feed merchants looking at labels on all the equine supple…

To town to get all things biotin for my poorly horse, Haakon.
Over the Hills
Today has been a day of yuck (rain with a cold north wind) so I have dug out my photos from a dog-walk we all went on a few days’ back when it wasn’t raining and the sun was trying to a…

A dog walk with the cat!
So Much Better
Well, it’s been a week, I think, of running around after Haakon with buckets to soak his hoof in, injections, painkillers, food twice a day. I am exhausted but at last I can say (still prayi…
myshetland.co.uk
Haakon is so much better. Phew!
