St Valentine's Denial

I have been awake since the first telephone call at six oclock this morning. As I explained to Chrissie Mary I have not been over the doorstep for two days as the gout has been bad after a spree on the old Ness cocktail - Cillit Bang and Cremola Foam. Apparently a number of eligible ladies in Ness have opened their porch doors this morning to find a St Velantine's day sheep's heart and a pail of blood covered with Cling Film. An accompanying note urges them to make a marac, submit it via a Box No to Cross PO and the maker of best marac wins some man's hand in marriage. Great idea - wish I'd thought of it - but it wasn't me. I don't know who this pail face with all the buckets is. Apart from the bucket under my bed we only have one other for washing the tractor and bringing in the peats. I would never use Cling Film as an old cloth always suffices - so it's some sophisticate who visits Stornoway regularly. Whoever it is has left a cloud of suspicion in the Ness air. We don't need this sort of thing. The Fanks was supposed to do away with the need for creative wimminfishin'.
PS Sunny. Donald says he thinks he loves you - he's had nothing to eat except half a herring nearly a week ago so I think he's got it bad this time!

Surely not an old cloth! I think you mean a piece of fresh muslin with pretty coloured beads around the edge. And was the sheep's head not on the pillow when you woke up? I'd only give that an E for effort..

Black pudding beats Black Magic any day. When did Cross PO start numbering their cardboard cartons - and why?

Annie B from the usual


They're numbering their cardboard cartons prior to packing up. It will soon be happening at rural POs all over the country. Can no-one get up a petition before it's too late? Oh....wait a minute.....

I'm flattered by Donalds' fortitude, i'm presuming he's surviving on Shawbost cocktails. Between that and him having gone off the guga, the smell will have dissipated dramatically by the fank so he may well be in with a shout! I did think there for a minute I might skip the fank as I met an attactive man a couple of weeks ago! I was wearing my best 20 year old fishermans mutual association checked shirt with stylish combats that hardly have any paint or holes on them and had that just run along the beach and fallen on my airse flush so I think he was impressed! I gave him a hard game of pool, it lasted a good few hours due to my skill at avoiding potting anything and I think it was this that lead to him turning up at the shop a couple of days later and asking me out on a date!!! Hazel says it was because he could see down my shirt every time I lent over to take a shot but surely not! I got into work the day after he'd dropped in, to the phone ringing off the hook (good customer relations demanding that I answer if it rings non stop for over half an hour as it might mean there's a party). I finally answered the phone. He said he'd looked through both island directories, tried directory enquiries etc. but couldn't get my home number the night before. I pointed out that I'm not listed. He then said he's waited outside the shop as long as he could and hadn't I got his message... nope I'd just walked in, it was the crack of 11ish after all. He said he was on the ferry and had to cancel the date as he had to go to Iraq and wouldn't be back for a couple of months at least... Could he ring me when he gets back? Buggrit! Would you believe it!!! I've heard about the Lewis women leaving the island so the competition should be a might fairer this year, Annie, Chrissie Mary and I can have our pick so we expect the bodachs to be pulling out the big guns!

Gosh! tell Donald I'm flattered! I did post a witty repost on a comment yesterday but IBHQ must've found it offensive as it hasn't appeared.

Sunny from Arran


If Donald manages to keep away from the fish and embibes enough of the Ness cocktail the smell may have dissipated enough for him to be in with a shout come the Fank!

Sunny from Arran


I think Sunny's got a thing going for Donald......even though he mislaid his nuts at the guga farm (it's really a factory, but if Bernie can call his turkey factory a farm....).

Were you at the London Fashion Week Sunny to pick up such an elegant sounding ensemble for your game of pool? Hope you're not going to show us up too much at the Fank. Chrissie Mary is experimenting with new ways to wear her headscarf for the impending festivities.

Annie B from the usual


Please, not the headscarf-as-thong nor even the headscarf-as-tiny-bikini? (apart from anything else, it sounds horribly beckwithian) I truly believe that it would be just too much for both Donald and MurdoJohn. Mind you, anything short of the full niqab might be too much for those two.

Flying Cat from trying to believe one impossible thing.....
