Yellow Peril and Daftness

Cancer's no longer the top health story in the news.
Swine flu is the thing that's on everybody's lips - especially if they've just come in from Mexico!

Joking apart - I need to take note of this sort of thing because it's still important to keep infection free and if there's going to be an epidemic (or will it be a pandemic - what's the difference?). . . . . . it's time to be vigilant.

The flu isn't even making the top headlines at the moment. That honour's going to the MP expenses scandal. This has to be the first time there's been a story in the Sunday Telegraph that's worth reading. And how stupid are they? The MPs, I mean. You have to wonder sometimes.

Back in the real world, the real world's looking no' too bad at the moment. This is one of the best times of year for East Lothian. The daffodils and oil-seed rape make a golden patchwork across the towns and countryside. It's spectacular and it's a good time to be off work to see it.
And there's something else to look forward to
- we're off for a wee break to Yorkshire tomorrow. Hooray!
