The community spirit in
Shetland is really shining through despite hundreds of homes still without
power.
Since the arrival of engineers, there’s been a real push to get people
reconnected.
A break in the bad weather has helped, but there’s still a long
with to go, with folk living in the west side of Shetland having to wait until
Monday to see their power back on again.
A network of community
halls is providing warm spaces, hot meals and drinks as well as a place for
people to charge their phones and even do their washing.
With the countdown to
Christmas well and truly on, there’s still a festive spirit in the islands.
Last night the
local drama group was able to stage the pantomime Jack and the
Beanstalk once again after it had been postponed for three nights.
All Shetland wants for Christmas is
the lights back on for everyone.

The Australian boss helped other motorists push the stranded car after it slid to a halt near Celtic's training complex.
Michael McDonnell, who also joined the rescue operation, tweeted: "Someone stuck in Lennoxtown I jump out to help and big ange came out as well before anyone man of the people.
"I turned round when I was pushing and he was, ‘you want a hand?’"

About 1,600 Shetland properties still without power
SSENCopyright: SSEN
About 1,600 properties in Shetland remain without power as engineers try to restore supplies.
Heavy snowstorms disrupted electricity supplies at the start of the week, leading to a major incident being declared.
Teams of engineers travelled by ferry to Shetland during the week to help.
Energy firm Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) said the aim was to get the majority connected by the end of the weekend.
However, some "small clusters" on the west side of Shetland's mainland may not have power back until Monday.
It seems the queue of passengers affected is being slowly
but surely cleared as staff work to rearrange people's travel plans.
Roberta Shields from Renfrewshire is here too, and tells me she was meant to be travelling to New
Delhi in India via London Heathrow.
She says she hadn’t flown in 17 years and
so far it was “a disaster” as she had been given conflicting advice on what to
do and what queues to be in.
I got talking to Rebecca
Johnston from Glasgow who is travelling with her son to try and get to the World
Cup final in Doha, Qatar.
She says the situation is “frustrating”. The weather not only disrupted their
flight but they also had difficulty getting a taxi to the
airport this morning.

The latest Scottish Avalanche Information Service (SAIS) season has started.
Daily avalanche hazard forecasts are provided for six mountain areas - Lochaber, Glen Coe, Northern and Southern Cairngorms, Creag Meagaidh and Torridon - until about mid April.
The first forecasts have warned of a "considerable" risk in the Northern and Southern Cairngorms, and "moderate" hazard in the four other areas.
SAIS recorded a provisional figure of 162 avalanches for the 2021-22 winter season.
The highest number ever - 350 avalanches - was recorded in the 2014-15 season.
The forecasts are used, along with other information, by walkers, climbers and snowsports enthusiasts in planning trips into the hills.

Dundee FC not hopeful match will go ahead on Saturday
BBCCopyright: BBC
Dundee have issued a heads-up to fans ahead of their scheduled home match with Cove Rangers on Saturday.
Despite undersoil heating being on since Monday, the freezing conditions and last
night’s snowfall have meant the pitch is now in a state the club believes would
put players’ safety at risk.
The club had already made the decision to close some stands due to frozen pipes.
There is also concern that surrounding areas inside and outside the stadium are also dangerous.
Quote Message: We requested an early pitch inspection to give supporters as much notice as possible as it’s our belief that this fixture will not go ahead. However, regrettably, the SPFL has decided to delay an inspection until tomorrow morning so we cannot give spectators as early a decision as we would have wished. We shall confirm the position with this fixture tomorrow morning. from Spokesman Dundee FC
