Lazing On a Sunny Afternoon
Posted: Sunday, 04 February 2007 |
Well, Can the Can mania is sweeping the north isles (at least 3 people have asked whats in the can). See picture below to find out the fate of the most recent enquirer. The picture was taken this morning.
Its very quiet here in Fetlar. It always is, according to an Unst person who said this week that they had been here once in their entire life,and saw nobody. I decided to put this to the test this morning and went out for an early (well it is Sunday!) morning walk. It was beautifully sunny outside with nae wind. I thought I'd take the dog for his monthly bath in that great poodle parlour called the North Sea. This was a great success. I now have a clean dog, who smells of the briny. Till this point I had seen no-one (unless you count sheep).
Then 3 cars - more than a traffic jam here - and there was no scheduled ferry to head for! When I returned to Magnolia View there was a great big pile of parcels awaiting me. They had obviously been delivered in my absence. (Deliveries before 10:30 on a Sunday? Very unusual!)
Methinks the Unst person was wrong.

Well, what was in the parcels?

I n the first photograph is that a Subbuteo player out at sea? Maybe it's the Aidrieonians goalkeeper I lost twenty two years ago? In photo 2 what is the name of the Service Area we can see at the end of the road?

Gosh. Another mysterious erection on a blog. Whatever next... The service area might be <Little href.>

Nae wind? Are you sure you wern't dreaming.
Lerwick Trevor from Lerwick
Parcels: T-Shirts possibly? Subbuteo player not found on the beach. Sorry. A service area? That's the wonderful Fetlar School. Hasn't Little Chef gone bust? There really was no wind. The dog & I went out 3 times to check. It was windy by 2pm though, but I was watching the rugby then so wasn't bothered. Yes, digital tv has reached Fetlar (despite Shetland not being on any of the digital tv maps).

Just realised that the white writing on the top picture is unclear. It says, 'Here lies the last person who said, "What's In The Can?"'
Muness from Fetlar
Did you tie them to stakes when the tide was out and let the crabs pick their bones clean?
Barebraes from Shapinsay
Can you get Subbbuteo WAGs - silicone enhanced to float at sea?
Annie B from the usual
Barebraes - were you watching me? As to silicone WAGs - don't know what you mean.
Muness from Fetlar
wags are wives and girlfriends, look I do know some things, although I don't know what's in yer tin Muness, but can't wait to find out. When is the 9th of Feb.? Is it soon? I struggle to know what day it is, never mind dates, so geeze a brek, muness, please.
Tws from the croft
You just need to get around a bit more.........
Flying Cat from all pver the joint
It was the silicone I was refering to. Even The Archers has mentioned WAGs. The only wag I get is from the dog's (now dry) tail. You'll all be underwhelmed when you find oot whits i' da can.
Muness from Waiting in the T shirt Q
I could say that I had a crystal ball but then I would be able to see what was in the tin.
Barebraes from Shapinsay
Barebraes, you should see a Dr. about that, and quickly too!!

Things of importance will appear shortly or maybe they won't. More likely nothing of importance will appear.
