Typical Shetland weather!

Yesterday, thermals, gloves and hats, today sunglasses on and lunch outside!

A lovely family day. Claire and Paul off back to Edinburgh, but Claire dropped by for a couple of hours this morning. 
It was a day of jigsaw puzzles, games, colouring books and endless knock knock jokes. 

In the afternoon Rio and I had a walk round the village. Age 5, his non-stop chatting is so endearing. I felt honoured to be shown his secret hiding place in the school garden - tucked under a tree was a special stick and a fir cone. 

On the way home we called at the shop. With much deliberation he chose chocolate bars for each of the three. All the way home he debated, was his bar larger than the ones he'd chosen for his brother and sister? I think he felt they should be exactly the same, to be 'fair', but he wanted white chocolate, and it comes in a (slightly) bigger size. 
He was very logical and brought up the issue of thickness. his bar WAS bigger, but it could be thinner he thought.

As it turned out, Freyja dissolved into tears when the chocolate was distributed because she wanted white as well. Sweet Rio quickly gave her a large piece of his. He's a treasure!
