Well Ken and Mary arrived yesterday morning safely. It is lovely to see them and we have been learning the Up Helly Aa songs so that we can join in on the day. Of course Mary was the choir master!
We went around toon yesterday and saw many of the shop windows with their Up Helly Aa displays, and also noticed a Muckle number of fok all up fae the festival on Tuesday.
The weather is dull wet and slightly breezy at the moment, evryone is hoping for dryer times for Tueasday.
I am off to St Magnus again this morning for another "show" (as my dear freind puts it!) I think both Ken and Mary are coming too! (Ken I think has been lured into a false sense of security by the thought of a great fry up at the co op before church... a bad habit I have so easily slipped into)
Tomorrow I have my induction training for Crossroads. At last something is happening on the work front. Hopefully Walter and Joan will not be too far behind. I think it sounds as though Crossroads will ask me to do things fairly soon, so even an hour or two will help.
I am getting older it is official! Yesterday I received my "bowl test kit" free for the over 50s!! I have yet to work out how to use it but after I have I have to put it in an envelope and send it away.... I am sure the posties know what is in here so I bet they have a comment when they see it "passing" through their hands!
Well more later,and hopefully another video clip of Up Helly Aa on Tuesday night.
Have to go now Mary has called another choir practice!!
Good that you have Ken & Mary with you, now that I know about the fry ups I might be there sooner. I had the Bowel test at 60 so they obviously are favouring Shetlanders. It is not for the squeamish and yes the postman might work it out! Glad about Crossroads. Off to Berlin on Wednesday (where it is -10c at the moment)I told Wendy's Uncle that we were going and asked if he had been, "Only in a Lancaster" was the reply.Regards Geoff
