Son played footy yesterday

The son played with the Whalsay football team on Saturday, we popped by as he has instructed us not to go and watch as we are embarrassing ( does this mean the teenage years are starting ). Anyway we popped along just to see the first match.

Whether or not they win we as parents are very proud that he plays and enjoys his day

Something we would have never done in Manchester

And it is what the title says, there was an open day at the leisure centre today to mark its opening I think some years ago. So there was lots of free activities to go a try for free today. The husband does badminton so went down to help out in that section when it was on , I followed with The Son later to try Carpet Bowls.

So as for all 3 of us tonight we played Carpet Bowls never having done anything like it before ever, plenty of Whalsay folk on hand to help out with all age groups playing from children , to our age and older folk. It was actually very good and all 3 of us enjoyed it very much , we know that this would not have been even considered in Manchester or even taking part in an open day in our local community we would not have bothered to go so I am pleased that we made that effort to join in.

Our First Party

I am no longer a party virgin, I was broken in on Friday night by the good ladies of Whalsay. Not so many just enough women to see our designs. A very nice crowd indeed. A positive night which means I am in full continue mode with my beading obsession. Yippee . So a big Thank You to the hostess for letting us host the party at her house. I like the fact that I can make a one off Hostess Bracelet as a thank you knowing that it is not mass produced and if we do another ten we do a different piece for each occasion. However doing this will make me wanna make up more pieces and buy yet more beads. Although I have seen a nice pair of Burberrys that would look nice on my feet this summer. Ummmm decisions decisions.

Our Tescos

We went to Tesco's for our weekly or when we need to shop , shop today. We leave the house at 10.15 we get the 10.30 ferry .

We reach Laxo 11.00 , we then drive to Lerwick that takes you till 11.30 , depending on what time you book the ferry back depends on how long you have to run round like a blue arse fly getting what you need. Today's our ferry back was 2pm so to be in time you have to leave Lerwick by 1.15pm ( lunch on the run basically )

Anyway this if the view from Tesco's in Lerwick. So on nice days like today this is what us lucky people see and as the weather gets warmer when you come out the doors you can smell the sea.

And these are the locals that sunbath outside on the rocks at Tesco.

This one is waiting till they get rid of out of date fish later :

Again on days like this it is a joy to do your weekly shop when you have a view like this to look upon. However I won't be saying that next week when I am being bitch slapped by the washing on the line as it's that windy and blowing a gale.

This is the scene at 12.52 this afternoon.
