Thanks to the unfaltering commitment of the Ladies of the Church Guild Knitting Circle, we have another fun-packed weekend of entertainment to enjoy this Easter.
Good Friday frolics kick off with an Easter Bonnet parade, down at Wullie Spanners' garage. Special guest Sydney Devine opens the new showroom at noon. Come and admire the latest fleet of mobility car bonnets, like the Simca Avonde 90A, Reliant Rialto, and FV107 Scimitar bonnets. Get yours on special offer now before the bonnets go up! The parade of apprentice mechanic Daft Uisdean's reconditioned and re-sprayed bonnets will follow at 2 pm, appropriately ending at the recycling centre by 3 pm, for a Bonnett Tossing competition.
Even Better Saturday events are designed for the children. At 10 am, our Easter Bunny competition begins at Murdina’s butcher shop. Murdina will give a 45 minute lecture on how to skin and bone your rabbit, followed by some decoration tips and advice on how to fold in ears when making rabbit pie. Sharp knives, rabbits and hot ovens will then be left at the children's disposal where they can test out their own culinary skills. Judging, for the prize of a six pack of potted hoch, will take place around 6 pm.
Easter Sunday Egg Rolling will take place at the Fertility Clinic caravan, behind the Free Church, followed by an Egg Hunt in their Lost Property Box. Be there at 1 pm. Don't forget to bring your own torches, thermometers and calendars!

Sorry we couldn't make it down to the extravaganza at the Spaners garage today, hope the special competition went well. We feel confident that Murdinas event tomorrow will be much enjoyed, may one artistically decorate the Easter Sunday eggs?

Dear Painted Lady, I have a selection of children's arms and legs, left over from the Easter Bunny Competition today. Should you find that your children are in need of any spare limbs, please do not hesitate to contract me.
Yours faithfully,
Murdina at the butcher's shop
P.S. All rumours about Wullie Spanners' sausage being stuck in my equipment downstairs are true.
Please tell him my basement is not equipped to accomodate the mincing of his buffalos.
Aye....Fun Packed Weekend indeed.....for some o'you maybe, but I've got issues so I have......
1. When I agreed tae host the Easter bonnet doings it wis on the promise that the new showroom wid be opened by yon Spicey Girls. Sidney Devine isnae a satisfactory substitute on any count now is he ?
2. The ladies o' the broomstick circle did do a grand job motivating Daft Uisdean tae do the bonnet paintin' stuff......BUT YE DIDNAE TELL HIM TAE STOP.....he's wanderin round ma yard wi' a gallon o'yellow Dulux paintin' everything in sight...even poor old Furkin, the garage cat, has a yellow racing stripe !!!!
3. Murdina ma dear....Buffalo sausages is called that cos they're big, not because they're made fi buffalos!!!! Its no' ma fault yer mincer got jammed up....and by the way, where did ye find a buffalo on the island anyhow ????
I'm fair disgruntled by it all so I am.
Wul.
Hello there ma good friend Wullie,
1) Since the replacement of Posh and Baby Spice, with Vera Vindaloo and Madras Maggie-Ann, the band are not proving as popular. Also, Madras Maggie-Ann complained about your wandering dipstick and refused to appear.
2) Sorry about old Furkin. I am sending you a tin of swarfega flavoured kit-e-kat and a voucher for the local launderette, to the value of 2 shillings and 6 pence.
3) Murdina informs me that a pair of breeding Buffalo arrived off the ferry from the mainland in a crate addressed to Spanners Garage. Unfortunately the crate was empty by the time Daft Uisdean got around to unloading it. We presumed that you collected your buffalos.
Come round for a wee cooking whisky sometime.
Torquil
