Up-Helly-Aa

We're still in recuperation mode today. John did go row early this morning, while I got my usual exercise getting the Sunday newspaper read. Actually, I did get the laundry done today, as usual. But that was about all.

I've been keeping track of a delightful blog, Life on a Small Island. Sian lives on Graemsay, a small island in the Orkneys off the coast of Scotland. Today she has posted about a Shetland Island festival called Up-Helly-Aa. What a hoot this is! Give it a read.

Here's a photo from the Up-Helly-Aa festival.
