Yesterday, the 27th, Donald and I were having a snooze in the late morning when there was a knock on the sheiling door - unusual - as the sheiling is four miles from the main road. 'Parcel for Calumannabel' he shouted.
I answered the door . 'You're not going to make a habit of this are you?' A bedraggled Roddy John, the postie, stood there looking less than impressed as his van sank slowly into the peat bog.
The parcel was addressed to Calumannabel and Donald, Dell Shielings, Lewis.
It contained two mugs emblazoned with calumannabel's dating service, a packet of Garibaldis and a book callled ' Nice cup of tea and a sit down.' The whole thing was in a hamper marked 'Strewbacks Nuptial Hamper.' Well you could have knocked us down with a feather. So thank you anonymous cailleach whoever you are. There was also a letter for Donald. It was from someone called Frank Marshall in Ohio who has been following our site. He's offered us a batch of fluorescent jackets misprinted so they read FANK MARSHALL - exactly what we need for crowd control. Donald has borrowed his mother's winter fuel payment to pay for them - what dedication and they should be with us shortly. Photo of said garment on site as soon as they arrive. So we're flying going into the new year.
Mike at Blogging HQ has thrown some Jimmy Shand LP's into the sponsorship pot though if the 'Laird's Unplugged Session at Tillicoutry Locarno' is among them that'll be quietly slipped into my collection. Any other sponsorship offers gladly considered and advertising board round the perimeter fence will be offered soon. Full timetable in preparation to keep Sunny from Arran happy.
As for the offer of Dougie Donnelly coming to Ness - send him to Harris they still enjoy him every day on Radio Clyde down there.
