Fairy lights.

Outside Christmas lights done. Three strings of varying vintage draped in some of our bushes! Overall a nice modest effect. And done before the rain came on.

The 4 Nations Chief Medical Officers met today. Health is Devolved. Omicron clearly a concern. First Minister described it last week as a potential Covid tsunami coming. Today saw Scotland’s biggest one day case rise. The outcome is the vaccination campaign is to be scaled up to offer jags by year end in Scotland (where 42% have had boosters). First changes to booking arrangements come into effect tomorrow. I feel for staff who had already planned so much and then had to re-visit when JCVI moved to 3 months; now it will be logistically changed again. The weekly Scottish Parliament Covid statement on Tuesday will focus on this and Public Health measures. Wales and Northern Ireland will reflect and announce soon. The Prime Minister announced on TV England will be offered boosters by end of year; new planned Public Health protection measures are still being argued over. His announcement may take him off front pages; he was there again re 2020 Christmas Party etc debacle.
