On what has been a blustery week here in Shetland, I managed to complete all the tasks I'd set myself at the start of it, including the completed artwork, which I will describe under another heading. As the gales blew, and the rain fell horizontally, I banked money, paid my bills and got all my Christmas cards posted in time to beat the Royal Mail's deadline. I attended my physiotherapy appointment on Thursday, and promised faithfully to do my back exercises, a discipline which has sadly lapsed over the last two busy weeks. I had a few pints of lager on Tuesday and Wednesday, whch is really hitting the town for me nowadays!
I visited my mother at Whiteness on Friday, and found her as well as can be expected, given her lack of mobility. I plan to go out there to spend most of Christmas Eve and Day with her, and render what help I can with the preparations for our usual family feast. No doubt many of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will join us for what, I hope, will be the usual merry occasion.
