Ups and Downs | My Shetland


** Sigh **

A day full of ups and downs.

I had a hair appointment so I had to go into town (off south to Edinburgh for a long weekend soon so I must at least look like I tried).

My list was long of Things I Had to Do first which included dropping off sheep to my little field at Jamieson’s Knitwear on the Street.

I finally found a parking spot and looked around the car only to find I had forgotten my little flock of sheep to sell.  Dammit.  I had even spent the morning making another one as need is great at the moment (both for me (££) and for the visitors).

My little field in the shop was looking very empty too.  I went in and apologised profusely.  I hate letting anyone down after giving my word.  That’s just not me.

There were two huge cruise ships in the harbour and the Street was full of folk looking dismal with brollies – it was pouring with rain.

An upside to my day – I got my car mended (no charge too).
A downside to my day – Barrel and Edna got out of their field.
An upside to my day – Edna and Madge (!) returned to the field later.
An upside to my day – my hair is cut very well.
A downside to my day – they had run out of my favourite coffee at Tesco’s.  Meh!

Luckily, I am going into town tomorrow for a Craft Fair (gotta love a Shetland Craft Fair – the very best of the best) instead of playing flute duets and I can take my sheep in then. I have already put them in the car.  I will not fail this task.

So I bought myself a large bar of chocolate to get over today’s failure that’s in my life.
