Oooh, exciting. Are you upsizing from a Beagle?
Yes, to a Pugador, a "designer dog". She has all the Labrador craziness, less of the shedding and tail.

The second of the two brothers, who wrote the song “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” died yesterday.

Richard outlived his brother Robert by 12 years.
Light rain as forecast which later turned into occasional sunshine.
Another cruise ship in so no point going near the main part of town as it will be shuffling room only.
The only people to really benefit from this constant invasion is the harbour authority who must make a fortune in landing fees. While this is a limited company it is run locally and the money is largely kept local except for fees to the Crown Estate. I doubt anyone else benefits much from the passengers.
There was a survey done in Lerwick a few years ago which showed that the crew of those ships spent more in the town than the passengers.
I went for a walk in the upper part of town where only the fitter and more adventurous pests appear so they are no problem so far. It was raining but I did not get too wet.
In the narrower bits passing cars gave me a very wide berth as I use two sticks for those excursions and a bit like the trike they do not wish to be involved with injuring the apparently infirm.

We bought fish and chips in Lerwick last year. We were on a coach tour up to Scotland and beyond. We bought some things and whisky in Thurso , 2 teas and cake in John o'Groats. I would have spent a lot more in Thurso if they hadn't have run out of the bottles of whisky that I liked.
But yes! I suppose that tourists don't spend an awful lot especially if they are from a cruise ship.
Damp misty start to the day and forecast is not good.
I took the trike out of the car and up to my shed on the last dry day as I did not want to get it wet and it looks like a wise decision as rain is forecast for the rest of the week.
No cruise ships to be seen from my windows but there could still be one lurking out of sight in the entrance to the bay.
Noticed two fish farm boats racing off to work at Fuinary further down the Sound. Mostly there is just one and they do not hang about when travelling.
Nothing planned today so off now for coffee.
