Mid February

Not a lot has happened so it should be easy to write this. We have three medals at the winter Olympics and this afternoon we may get a gold in curling.
I have a wheelchair with large wheels at the front. There is no room in the house but we will use it in the new house and the Co-op and Tesco when we go to Lerwick. My new walking sticks are good, light and easy to trip up passers by with.
The OT has ordered my ejector armchair. Again no room here but we will chuck an armchair or a settee so there is room in the new house.
We now have a kitchen and utility room with cupboards and sinks, double oven and hobs. The bathroom furniture has arrived but the plumbers were due yesterday and I am not yet sure whether they arrived. If they did we are well on the way to completion. The handrails have been put up outside but if I am using sticks or a wheelchair they will be redundant. I will have to walk more.
It is much better weather today. The sun has been shining and the wind has abated. The bay looks fairly calm.
Heidi and Hnefi are looking relaxed and satisfied in their new field. This is the land we have almost bought across the road from the new house. A neighbour has been looking after the ponies for some months and put up another fence so that they cannot get to the road a can walk all round the ruin, using it as a windbreak.
My OT has changed the date of the next CT scan bringing it forward a day so that I can see the consultant on the same visit. She was keen that I use my blue card saying that it would be easier to park at the hospital.
We are not inundated by rabbits yet and I wonder whether I can shoot them from the back of the house when they do appear. We shall see. I will have to get the rifle out and oil it and make sure I have enough ammo. It may be a way my visitors can help get meals. We can have some catching trout and others shooting rabbits. Anyone good at shooting can probably go and pop off a few on our neighbours land. They will probably appreciate that.
The celebration of National Astronomy Week (March 1st. to 8th.) will have to be publicised. I have one telescope set up at the new house and need to get another out of my loft here and get that over there too.
I will talk to some interested parties here and get them to try out the telescopes beforehand. I want them to be able to use them any night that week, the more the merrier. I will make sure that Radio Shetland and Shetland Times are aware and they will publicise it for me.
We went out the other night but although the sky was clear to begin it soon became cloudy and unfortunately I soon get cold and have to go back in the warm. Some youngsters came and we saw Jupiter and Orion and bits of other constellations.
There is a date for completion but the house has to be certified before we move in. We can still go and watch the stars from outside until the great day. How long the move may take is a matter for conjecture. I'm not sure how many months it may be.
Mum and her sister are out shopping and will have lunch at the shop. They will bring back something for me later.
I am still munching Fry's Peppermint Creams and having power drinks and putting back the weightr I lost.
I seem to be responding to treatment  but have to get a bit of fresh air and exercise to build myself up.
I spend a lot of time adding these posts to the blog and still haven't mastered the art of adding pictures. With the concentration span of a goldfish I am unlikely to make a lot of progress here. But we will see.
