So after yesterday’s warping weirdness, I set upon them with my good lady’s hairdryer. I blasted them on nuclear heat for a while then held them flat on a cold ceramic tile, then into the freezer for a couple of minutes to remove any residual heat.

I think it may have worked, only time will tell.

Now for the random Shetland fact… did you know more flights are cancelled in the summer months than the winter months… the reason being….

Yep, it’s the fog/low cloud (not the Goose, I know we have ninja pyromaniac starlings, but less so with the Geese… to my knowledge no goose has ever nested under a bonnet). We can often be clear, but if Orkney has it then they won’t fly as it is the emergency runway.

This is what it looks like coming in on a good day… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzERXet6PoM&feature=share

There are better days than others…. (Don’t watch if you are scared of flying!)

The hidden dangers in Shetland are real, I still don’t know how I avoided the fate of at least one other person every year… yes we have a secret lurker, just waiting for the unwary… we are talking about the dreaded …

Yep, here he is, like a little bright ninja saboteur! He causes more fires in cars than any other thing I can think of…

Little blighter had shoved this lot under my bonnet…

Luckily I had left my lights on yesterday and couldn’t drive the car this morning. I only found it when I went to jump start it this afternoon.

So be warned people, starlings are everywhere waiting for their chance to strike.

So last night, I needed to go out and lock the hens up to keep them safe from ferrets or otters. So I toddled off outside and decided to take quick video at midnight.

The Ipad struggled a bit with the light levels, but it definitely gives you an impression of what it is like up here. Midnight and we had blackbirds doing their evening chorus.

Today was a bit of a productive day, I have pretty much finished all of my mates birthday present. The Buddha and Tori gate have been neglected, so I gave them a bit of vegetation. I am not sure whether I like the bits on the statue, but it may grow on me. The last bit to do is the wagon with the rice bales on it..

I also managed to make a start on a 6mm Lizardmen Army, I decided to give these a go as I wanted to have some practice before I went for 6mm Samurai. I was thinking of doing a 6mm Sengoku participation game in the October games day (that is if it goes ahead).

Yeah the colours are a bit GW, but I couldn’t think of what other colour to do them. I will do a bit more tomorrow evening on these.

And finally, the pretty sky part…

It wasn’t too bad an evening…
