Ffs.
Thought I’d got away with it…
Nope.
Banana Bread for desert at dinner tonight.
Bro in law picks up cant be sold veggies from the village shop couple of days a week to feed the chickens.
About 3kg of edible bananas arrived today. Mrs P_F couldnt resist
Sigh.
Honestly don’t get this.
Bit of an achy arm /maybe a slight fever and feeling poorly (same as any other jab) or dieing, long term covid or maybe you get lucky and are asymptomatic.
The horror stories of people struggling to breathe. It kinda sounds like drowning. You want to have a chance of that? Nah.
It is worrying that these are health professionals who should have a lot of knowledge at their finger tips. But then some of my colleagues (all with uni degrees) were very vocal about not having it (several of them have now).
In my profession we have to sign up to some standards. At one point we were under the health care professionals and some of theirs are
1.3 You must encourage and help service users, where appropriate, to maintain their own health and well-being, and support them so they can make informed decisions.
6.1 You must take all reasonable steps to reduce the risk of harm to service users, carers and colleagues as far as possible
So if you don’t want it how do you encourage patients to have it but also not ensuring your own health could impact on them.
I’m pretty sure at one point there was something about infection control as I thought as a social worker that was a bit much as we’d been lumped in with health care.
Debatable. My own mother had the jab a few weeks ago. Before she had it, she was looking to buy an Apple Mac pc, but since the vaccination she has changed her mind and is about to get a brand new Windows one.
I think in this case it’s someone trying to defend the indefensible by inventing support from people she thinks will validate her minority view. It doesn’t work with me because I listen daily to people who are top of their tree, not at the bottom. No offence to nursing staff of course.
Banana custard as an alternative? Chop it up and freeze for smoothies or people are making “ice cream” with frozen banana.
I’ve not made banana bread from scratch but did have a choc banana cake mix which I did do last year. I no longer add bananas and just make a decent black forest gateau instead with it. Why ruin it eh?
I remember clearly a posh pub in Bromley (many decades ago!) where you could get a steak lunch with the obligatory prawn cocktail and a pudding for the princely sum of 10/6!
So for £1 1s 0p you had lunch for two! Drinks (yes - red or white) were extra.
In those days my mini could be filled up for less than £1.
