We had our flu injections last month. Neither of us had any side effects. Since then we've been debating whether to have Covid boosters . Last years shots left both of us feeling miserable for a couple of days. Our initial plan was to do without but the thought of being confined on a ferry for a couple of weeks in the Arctic Circle finally pushes us into making a decision. We will have them at a pharmacy in Dundee next week. We're even offered a choice of vaccines. We opt for the Pfizer one over Moderna without any rationale for doing so .
Our breakfast time walk is closely monitored by an inquisitive neighbouring village dog.

A 'Love Bench' has appeared outside the cocktail bar that now operates in what used to be the Salvation Army Hall. Student couples seem to want to sit on it and have their photo taken while sipping something luridly coloured and stylishly accessorized with a paper umbrella This morning with its lights turned off it looks rather forlorn.

By eight am as we head towards Starbucks the delivery trucks are out blocking both sides of the shopping street. The empty shop by the mountaineering store is being turned into yet another coffee shop. We think this may be the sixteenth in the old medieval heart of the town.

My sister and my cousin have both recently been down with COVID once again (they insist on mingling with the masses), and I have heard anecdotally that it's becoming a bit prevalent again, so very sensible to get those shots. YAM xx
