You know what makes me grumpy? All the Grumpy Old Men who appeared on the BBC TV series were younger than me, that's what makes me grumpy. Mutter, mutter....

THURSDAY

On a day which saw the weather deteriorate again, I was awakened early with a pain in my stomach and side which persisted through the day. Nevertheless I carried on with work on the two paintings and made satisfactory progress.
My sister Mary surprised me with a visit to borrow my stepladder, which was to be used by an electrician in re-wiring the Samaritans building here in Lerwick. I agreed readily - it's probably the only thing I'll do for a registered charity this week.
I retired to bed early, hoping my tummy discomfort would dissipate overnight.
