Brackin’ da Bröd

I’m not moving off island yet, but i have got a new cyber place over the cyberway there…can you see me? I’m standing by the gate looking for you to come and visit.
Come over won’t you and visit me at http://morrolesssocks.wordpress.com/
IB has been a fantastic start on my blogging journey thanks so much to all [...]

I know i open almost every new entry this way, but Och bairns! Where does the time go? I cannot believe it’s nearly June!
Much of my working week last week was monopolised by writing up a report of a conference that was on the previous weekend. It was a really interesting weekend, but my [...]

I went from flat to restless…

As I’ve said before I am trying to lay a new path in old places and one of the reasons I decided to move home to Shetland is because I have depression.
Now that is not a statement to illicit poor-you-there-there’s, for a long time I couldn’t even come to [...]

As much as I would liked to have gone to the Culture and Heritage museum, the Edvard Munch museum and [...]

 
Hei!

After work on Monday I got the bus to Sumburgh to catch my flight to Aberdeen and after arriving safely it was off to the, rather uninspiring, lodgings for a good [...]

Okay, so let me clear up some of the intrigue for you…
No, I’m not in Italy, though the climate might be a bit less fresh at this time of year!

Well, this is a whole new world to me!
For a long time I wanted to write a blog, but every time i sat down to write I would soon find myself staring at a blank page for hours on end. But my good friend and neighbour mirlnlass has taken me by the hand, be it [...]
