Hi everyone,

Thanks for the positive feedback on the random cosplay pics I've been sharing, glad to hear they're going down well. Got some more to share at the end of this blog.

Bit of a quiet weekend, mostly resting up in preparation for going back to work tomorrow. I'm still not 100% better, but my back's not as sore as it was this time...

Hi everyone,

A big thanks to those who left comments on my last blog.

Not a lot to report this time. I'm still off work with a sore back, though I'm hoping to be back to work on Monday. Won't hear about the results from my x-ray until Tuesday or Wednesday next week, if anything shows up on it. Knowing my luck it'll come back...

Hi everyone,

First of all a big thanks to those who posted such lovely, caring comments on yesterday's blog, love you all!

It's Up Helly Aa day in Shetland again - it's a fire festival to celebrate the end of the old Norse winter. It's a torchlit procession of different squads of men in fancy dress, led by the Guzer Jarl and his Jarl Squad,...

Hi everyone,

As always, thanks for the comments on my last blog, love you all!

It's been a few days since my last blog, which is a rare thing for me, even when I have nothing to say. I've had a rough weekend and didn't feel up to blogging until now.

Woke up on saturday with a migraine (nowhere near as bad as the pain...

Hi everyone,

First of all a big thanks to Perr for giving me a shout out on her new blog, that's really made my day! In fact, I was so excited that this almost happened!



But seriously, thanks Perr, you're so sweet!

Another quiet day at work today, but then Fridays usually are pretty quiet, so it's a nice way to wind down for...

Hi everyone,

Still quiet at work today, but the phone got busier, There was about 7 phone calls between 9.00 and 9.30 today and then not much after that but everytime the phone rang later on, there would be around 3-4 calls in a row. Mostly patients booking appointments, which was good, so our appointment book's looking not quite as bare as it was yesterday....

Hi everyone,

Firstly I want to say thanks for the kind comments following my somewhat long introductory blog on Monday, so thanks to you all.

Nothing much has been happening at work the past two days, so didn't feel the need to bore you all yesterday.
Still really quiet at work, I do hope this isn't the start of things to come, otherwise I may...

Hi everyone,

Just realised I've been on here about a month and haven't even introduced myself properly yet. Some of you will know a few things about me, others won't know much at all about me. Here goes...

My name's Richard, I'm 31 and I'm originally from Alderney, but we moved to Shetland when I was 5. After some childhood operations (which I won't bore...

Hi everyone,

Had a great meal yesterday for Mum's birthday, she was well chuffed with the cards and presents.
Unfortunately the uncomfy chairs in the restaurant made my pain unbearable after a while, so we couldn't stay for too long.
I was in agony last night thanks to those uncomfy chairs, but thankfully it's a bit better this morning.
If I'm not feeling better on...

Hi everyone,

Not much to report since yesterday, although we have a very, very, very light dusting of snow this morning.

Sore again today, despite an attempt to ease the pain last night. Won't go into that though, I'm not one for oversharing and I really wouldn't want to creep you out!
It'll probably only be sore until Monday, so roll on Monday!

Not much...
