Friday's

My usual Friday consists of writing shopping list, sorting out banking, writing lists of stuff to buy (I usually only go to Lerwick one day a week, must have reached that age).
But Thursday I got a distress call from big sis asking me to come and help her clear up all her paperwork before she went away for a week (She had the flu and had to spend a few days laid out on the sofa with lemsip, magazines and telly, cos that’s what you do!).
So Friday I headed out West to help, I was given a list and got through it in plenty time. We went to Town and delivered pattern books, curtains, cushions etc. then headed to the Peerie Shop Café for late lunch/tea of sandwiches and coffee.
I had a call from Radio Shetland last week to see if we could do Give Us a Tune on Friday night, and said yes, of course, so we went through our music list and sorted out the banter, whilst eating and drinking our coffee and sandwiches. We had a lovely night, and since we have done this a few times were not nervous, although I guess the bottle of bubbly always helps! (Gordon never complains when I top up his glass!). So after another successful Friday night Give Us a Tune, we both headed to the Great Wall for a takeaway, to the Co-Op for more Pop and home for an easy Friday night in!
Imagine having to go out on the pull? I don’t think so.
