I didn't overlook it at all, actually- I was aware that you left around
5am, so I chose a flight which would mean leaving similarly early. You
claimed that "you only lose a handful of hours on Saturday if your
interests are typical of those who go to Shetland." 12 hours isn't a
handful IMO- it's most of an average waking day.
