I think it's time we had a more positive thread about Shetland instead of slagging of the place and people we live with....

 

So here's one to get you going :D

Do you think we could manage one a day :?:

 

Shetland News...

Museum delighted with new fiddle

 

Shetland fiddle maker Ewen Thomson yesterday (Thursday) recorded traditional folk tunes on the fiddle he made for the National Museum of Scotland. Listening in is Susan Levandowski, the national museum's assistant curator of ethnomusicology.

In my job I spek to folk fae every part of the UK and beyond on a daily basis on da phone.

I im happy ta oblige an will answer a dir questions.

I tell dim da good as weel as da bad(usually da weather) but da wan thing dae always seem ta hiv in common is dat dey wid lik ta visit ( which I always encourage) because we seem ta hiv a quality o life which is being lost elsewhere.

Lets be thankful fir whit we hiv. javascript:emoticon(':D')

Nice job Longdog. We used to get a lot more of this kind of positivity, back in the day. Unfortunately it is much easier for people ot find problems than solutions, so they tend to dwell on the problems. :wink:

 

 

My good news of the day would be that there is a proper gale on the way. I don't like these irritating half measure gales. The real deal is the definitive Shetland winter wonder. :wink:

Its Friday.

Its another hour nearer a trip to the pub for a pint and a game of pool.

I survived another trip to the supermarket without my bank card being spat back out at me.

If I stand outside and face south my lungs dont need to work under their own steam as they are force fed fresh air.

It's another day nearer summer.

There are 7 minutes more daylight today than yeterday.

 

hmm that will do for now :)

Oh don't. You mean you managed to log onto Gateway with no problems? Perish the thought, I'm still entering the figures on Excel overwriting last year's figures (I hasten to add I have all the figures, just inputting them onto a copy of what goes on the online version on that particular Excel spreadsheet). I always hate that WDV bit. No, come to think of it, the bit I HATE is when it tells you how much tax you have to pay.
