Jawohl, mein Herr.

HMG must be looking forward to tomorrow's case: Tomorrow sees our legal challenge for Government’s failure to disclose details of COVID-19-related contracts. The case is being brought by Good Law Project along with a cross-party group of MPs – Caroline Lucas (Green), Debbie Abrahams (Labour)...

Yet partner managed to get a tin for me - no problem. :)

And within. Unforgivably.

Just tried to stock up with yeast from Tesco (where I can usually get free fresh yeast) - none available. They are not even getting enough for themselves. Only arriving every other day rather than every day. Have got some frozen - and an unopened tin of dried - so not going to run out. But be a...

Which machine did you get? A few months ago there was a program, with Greg Wallace, in a French croissant factory - Brioche Pasquier. They use sourdough as a part of their croissant mix - and claimed it had been going since around 1936. However, they keep the sourdough going separately to the...

I don't think you have to look very far to get some suggestions: Large weddings, packed schools: concern as some Haredi Jews 'flout England lockdown' Community insiders say weddings taking place each week and there is ‘no respect for the guidelines’...

I know one person who had an uncertain test followed by negative. But the interesting bit, for me, was that she had gone to a testing centre but had to do the test herself. I think this is relatively recent. Not at all sure how reliable untrained people doing their own swabs are. And it could go...

I know at one point there was no post mortem testing. Hence, anyone who had not been tested but died would never be identified as a Covid-19 death. Do we do post mortem testing now? And is it accurate? Equally preposterous. I have been wondering if there are any inherently symptomless variants...

That is eleven months away. An over-simplistic interpretation of 80% of care home staff not having been vaccinated (and only using January as December was very slow), we will take at least another four months to get their staff vaccinated. And we are seeing care home vaccination delayed and...

An awful lot of Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine... China’s Shenzhen Kangtai Biological Products said on Tuesday it had completed a facility designed to be able to produce 400m doses of AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine per year, doubling a capacity target promised in 2020. “Kangtai is actively pushing...

Depending on timing and circumstances, slowing it down so there is a chance of successful vaccination seems possibly even more important.

Not at all sure of its impact on cost of living, but petrol prices have been rising significantly. The other day, I saw my first over-120 price for some time - 121.09. (I carried on to another one which is always the least expensive in the area 110.07. The nearest one to me is 119.09.) 11.02...

Who said that there isn't an Irish Sea border? Brexit food checks suspended at Northern Ireland ports amid safety concerns Police monitoring growing unionist discontent over so-called Irish sea border Police are to hold talks later today with partner agencies after physical Brexit checks at...

I do like sourdough. And there certainly are ideas about it being more digestible. What has made a huge difference for me is the quality of the flour I have been buying. Am now sticking with Welsh-grown organic Paragon wheat. (But might add some spelt or rye or something else.) Plus I now...

I have been making my own bread, but not sourdough, throughout. If it weren't just me who eats it, I'd definitely be trying sourdough but it seems less than worth doing for me alone. I have been very, very pleased at how well they have come out. Even the first loaf was nice. I do usually use a...

Even jet-ski riders from Scotland were banned. :)

Would likely have been called Strathneva had it been in Alba. :)
