I was lovingly created by @burrabears out of #harrietshats to raise funds for @MMaakers. Now I'm free to support the Shetland MRI Scanner Appeal all by myself.

Thanks Linda for helping me out of that dark bag they kept me in. I'll do you proud. Have already set up a Facebook page and Twitter account all by myself. https://t.co/06bJtfzL4F
Check out my profile for a donate link. Don't want them thinking I'm not earning my keep. #grateful

@STVNews Nice of the news to get the important details out in the headline as fast as possible such as...... which city. Half of Scotland is hiding because they've not opened the link yet.

But mostly thanks to Emma for making sure I'm fit and healthy.

Here's a video of me getting checked out! Emma was so nice and reassuring. Some human people can find it a little daunting but I promise you it's really no problem to do. I managed really well she said, and I'm only little.

[Billy O' Middle Toon @middle_toon]

Thank you so much to everyone who helped raise the money so we could get our own MRI scanner here in Shetland. And thanks to everyone who's worked so hard to build the scanning suite and install it. So many people did so much.

[Billy O' Middle Toon @middle_toon]

Anyway, after my ordeal, NHS Shetland decided I better go and get a check up. As luck would have it, you remember the Shetland MRI Scanner Appeal? It's here, in Shetland, and working! They said I was the perfect guinea pig, whatever that is. I'm not a guinea pig, I'm a bear.

HELLO EVERYBODY, I HAVE BIG NEWS! Sorry it's been so long since I shared my news, I was abducted by a Curator and held captive in a museum, whatever that is!

[Billy O' Middle Toon @middle_toon]

Lots of people kept coming, staring, and saying what a good portrait she was, but she's not a portrait, she's a real person.

[Billy O' Middle Toon @middle_toon]

Luckily Harriet from the MRI Maakers was there with me to keep me safe the whole time. I pretended not to be scared because I'm a bear so if anyone asks it was me looking after her 😉.

Could you help us reach our £100k milestone? We've only got a few days left! We have an auction under way, but still need £1500 over and above the current bids. You can donate now using this link. https://t.co/S8dIRfurud #charitableknitting #fairisleknittingdesign #shetlandwool

Isn't this fantastic. I've never met @WallinMarie but she seems really nice.

[MRI MAAKERS @MMaakers]

The auction of 85 year old Gracie Arthur's Hand Knit #Harrietscowl ends in 15 hours. I'm sure she, and everyone else at Fernlea Day Care, where she knit it will be thrilled with how well it's going! #grateful #charitableknitting #shetlandmri

@hazelreporting I don't know what pornographic means, but the other Billy has just dragged me off and washed may woolly ears out! 😯
