Just watching the English news, surprised to see that the picture in the background is of Victoria Street here in Edinburgh.

Good to see Liz and Phil got their jabs today. I'd been worried, thought they'd have been done sooner.

New topic of conversation in our social circle "Have you had a vaccine yet?" Most of my friends are of an age.......
When we go out walking it's amazing the number of local friends and acquaintances we meet.

To be fair, we do actually get Scottish (, Welsh, NI, and International) news in England too you know!
Oh, and the caption on the screen says 'CORONAVIRUS in the UK' NOT 'CORONAVIRUS in England'...

Sometimes I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Vaccination and returning retired staff. Obviously highly experienced people. I'm sure you've all read about people having to undertake 21 modules of training. I know three people wanting to help;
1. First has just completed the module on Female Genital Mutilation
2. The second doesn't have a laptop and the e-learning cannot be done on a tablet, which she has. She has to make a round trip of 14 miles to use her daughter's laptop
3. The third, retired GP, doesn't want to do the training, 21 hours. This GP is serving tea and biscuits at a mass vaccination centre.
Only here, really only here.

We’ve tried lots over the years but these are our current favourite.
With Halloumi I cut it into slices and either grill or fry it until it’s just brown. There’s several types of Halloumi, the original Cypriot one made with ewes milk and goat milk is worth paying extra for. When it became popular there was a corresponding shortage of goat/ ewes milk so they started using cow’s milk, then they cocked up the registration paperwork resulting in anyone being able to make “ halloumi” There are some excellent English “ Halloumi” cheeses , and some pretty bland ones. You just need to check the label .
