Our new life on Shetland: Internet, where have you gone!

Very frustrating couple of days. Don't mind the wind- and it didn't get a peerie bit fresh, but the electrics have been a bit on and off and the internet, just about, non- existent. Can't blog with no Internet!

We have both spent a great deal of time battling with stupid people, Rob thinks they are stupid, Jill just thinks actually they are being clever as it looks like the plumbing company are trying to get away with not repairing the damage they did putting the heating in. Jill is not one for using the blog to name names but we have substantial damage and they have basically stuck their finger up, so, Hughes Heating (Shetland) Ltd, we really don't like you very much. We have been told legally by trading standards that we are right and legally they should fix, our MP said they definately should fix it, our insurance company won't help as we did not do the accidental damage so they have said the plumbers should do it. Where does that leave us. Well, nowhere. So , as they have admitted the 'leak' ( actually flood at 120+ litres) in writing through the grant people- it looks like we will have to sue, so commencement of more paperwork starts on Monday. Sigh! Why can't people take responsibility for anything anymore!.

So, sorry about that, normal blogging proceeds.

Jill got another project gorgeous our wee porch/ breakfast room. We thought breakfast could easily be done in two shifts but as everyone is enjoying a good yarn, we need to bring the emergency room into use. It works wonders and is lovely and warm. It just needed a higher table. Found a wee one on cope that needs plenty of love, but it works perfectly.

Jill had a quick spot of birdwatching in Lerwick before coming home with the new table. A few bits and bobs but it was starting to get windy.

Then the wind really picked up. It's been very loud but also awesome inspiring. Rough seas are stunning. It also meant we were full as the ferries weren't running. We didnt put our prices up!
