This should be bright to night if clouds clear. They tend to be multi-coloured and there could be 100 per hour.

“We will throw everything at Omicron” – as long as it is only vaccines. And even then we will water down the rules for a vaccine passport. Also an interesting amount of money @ £22 a shot! Schools are unaffected by Omicron apparently and do not need extra ventilation – where are the air quality testing kits? Regardless of covid I can list many classrooms that need better ventilation full stop – influenza, etc. and with supply teachers costing £180 a day it is worth schools investing in health measures to keep teachers safe (obviously these measures benefit all the students too).

It does seem a bit ridiculous. I am not an avid fan of scalectrix, but someone has got this very wrong.

Pepparkakor (Swedish Ginger Cookies)
Ingredients send grocery list
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 3 1/4 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger (be generous)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon allspice (if you have it)
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (to your liking)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon water
Directions
- In a medium bowl, sift the dry ingredients together.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars together, then add egg, maple syrup, and water. Beat until fluffy.
- Mix in dry ingredients about 1/2 cup at a time slowly, so the dough doesn’t get too stiff.
- Remove from the bowl and form a big ball. Separate into quarters and refrigerate, covered, for 2 to 6 hours.
- When you’re ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350° F.
- Working with 1/4 of dough at a time, roll out the dough (I like to do this between plastic, but you can also use a floured surface), until it is about 1/8-inch thick. Use your favorite cookie cutter to cut out shapes and place them on parchment-lined cookie sheets.
- Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, but watch the first batch carefully! You want the cookies to get toasty and golden, not too dark.

Omicron variant likely to suck the fun out of Xmas. It is still hard to interpret the information coming out. predicted doubling time is 2.5 days at present. New cases is highest since January with deaths being constant’s at 120 per day. This last figure needs elaboration please – how many would normally die from influenza, and how many of these deaths had covid as a subsidiary cause?
