Day 1 at the Fank
Posted: Saturday, 01 April 2006 |
Virtually everyone’s turned up at the fank.
What a day! Chrissie Mary’s very tired and emotional after being with all the crowds. Up till now her idea of a mass gathering was pension day at the Post Office. (‘Tch. It was mobbed Annie’, she’ll say if there’s been more than 2 people in the queue when she’s nipped in to post her order to JD Williams).
To be honest it’s all been a bit much for me. Empty shelves in the shops….,
strange men appearing from the sea in Port of Ness claiming to have lost their wheelie bins (not quite the Colin Firth scenario that I’d dreamt of)…. ,
hundreds of over-excited people with strange accents and no evidence of serviceability as yet….,
and – inevitably – some bisoms with no shame, showing their bare legs brazen as they come…
Day off for us tomorrow of course, but looking forward to my naming & daming ceremony next week.

There'll be no women of the shelf either by the end of day 4!

What lovely sturdy legs on yon lassie. How's her cooking & baking?

Your picture of the empty shelves seem to go all funny when I scroll the up and down using my mouse wheel....like a pop art experience....mind you it could just be that I am still hung over from the snh beer.

Hope you haven't been licking the roads after the 'beer for hedgehogs experiment' Anne. Mind you I do see what you mean.

Niseach meanderings. (Niseachs come from Ness - the villages in NW Lewis from South Dell to the Butt.)
