BBC Scotland - Island Blogging

Unst Rambling.

Posted: Friday, 22 December 2006

It's about time that I ceased being a parasite on other's good blogs and, with excellent help from our moderator,Anne, I have obtained a new password and dragged my meagre offerings from the archives.

So. Tributes to our sweet 'Swan Queen' will continue on this site,despite the fact that she seems to have fallen for some foreign chap and appears to have no time to spare to comment upon all the posts which have concerned her. Most unlike the lad(ette)y,

Now. Extinguisher at the ready. I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas.

Sorry Claudius, nothing personal, but I didn't think I was in a position to comment on how pretty I may or may not be - but I have been following the comments with a lot of interest! Good to have you back in blogland.

Thanks Michellechoza I had a very quiet and slightly strange Christmas. I had planned to cook myself a roast chicken with all the trimmings but had to have that one day early. My nephew brought me a fresh chicken up from Lerwick on the Saturday and I was horrified to see that it had to be consumed by the 25th. So,Christmas dinner was a stir-fry with the last of the carcass. It was very pleasant with a bottle of wine. Am now looking forward to a family meal on New Years Eve. Ruthodanort I am surprised at you. Usually so prolific with your comments,you clam up when you are the subject of discussion. The funny thing is that it was your extended family which blew an innocent remark up into a gale. Never mind. You are perfectly safe on this lovely island.

I, of course, will comment on the Swan Queen. She has been busy over Christmas. I don't mind anyone being a 'parasite' (their words) on my blog. Nice to know that someone values my Fetlar based waffle.

Muness from Unst (on Ruthodanort's computer)

Thanks Muness. I like your site and particularly like the school site. I hope that you had a good festive season,

Claudias from Unst

We are proud of our website - to say nothing of the online ferry timetable: www.fetlar.shetland.co.uk & click on getting to & from Fetlar. Happy 2007!

Hi not sure if i'm posting on the right comment. I am very interested in the dictionary (just on a personal level) I lived on Unst when I was younger and used to use some very simple phrases although a forces kid. I have lost these in my memory :-) I am from workington where the dialect is very norse orientated and i'm trying to work out where it is from and any relations to the dialect in the islands. It's just for my own interest. but a contact or somthing would be great to exchange ideas. (I was born in Carlisle - changed hands many times in history, does it count that I was born in Scotland and England? :-) take care
