I canna believe it - its still snowing and tomorrow, Monday, the schools are shut again!

Wir schools have been shut since - well I don't know when! we had Friday and Monday off last weekend, and since Tuesday all schools have been shut. I agree with the Education Dept (or whoever they are now, names change so many times) I think they were right to close the schools, and also right to make a decision affecting the whole of Shetland. Some people have voiced criticism, but the decision was the correct one.

Pupils travel long distances to get to school, and so do staff. And its not just teachers - its support staff, visiting staff, janitors, cleaners, cooks, office staff, and the suppliers of food and other items.

I think we could rename the week - not the snowy week, not the week of extra holidays, but get to know your child week, tidy your home to death week, search on google for anything you can spell week, use your mobile like there's no tomorrow week. any (clean) suggestions?
