Very disappointed today at the doctors, he only has the Astra Zeneca vaccine in stock and for the moment he can't give it to us. Very frustrating, he was not a happy bunny either. As soon as the suspension is lifted I can go back, but he says he has no idea when that will be.
So, I came home and dug over the vegetable patch.
Thank you @Hostafan1 (and @punkdoc ) for advice re hostas. Somewhere in my overly optimistic and enthusiastic brain I expected them to arrive looking like the picture. Obviously (now) 3 x 7cm pots in early spring through the post - it was never going to happen. The pot of soil though, seems particularly disappointing. I shall have faith.
I now have a question for @Allotment Boy, I have decided to plant raspberries, but I don't know how many I would need. If Charlie and I were to have some everyday for breakfast with our cereal whilst they were fruiting how many would I need to keep us going? Again optimistically I picked up one at Lidl and now looking at the one twig think perhaps it won't be enough.
Anyway, off to bed now, see you all in the morning.

Belgium is still happy to deliver the Astra Zeneca jab but then it is a country with a proud innovative scientific tradition and an excellent health system.
Odd about Germany tho. The first national health system (1860ish) and designed to be free from political interference (unlike the NHS UK) and plenty of mathematicians and statisticians too. I reckon a lot of politics getting in the way.

We started with 6 canes of Polka ... within three years we were having some most days for breakfast in season, plus making jam and freezing several plastic boxes full for each winter.

I've just planted 5 but that's all I've got room for. Also started 2 blueberry bushes and a strawberry pot. I'm having to do veg and fruit on a small scale.

Great shame about your jab DD, seems the EU would rather everybody died of Covid rather than thrombosis.
