Earlier this month I caught up with @Richard_Dixon the new Chair of @EnvStanScot . I found out more about his work, and the work of @EnvStanScot including how you can get in touch if you have any environmental concerns. https://t.co/GMLjTgSbBw

After spending way too much time carefully painting an advent train for our 2.5 year old the finishing touch was adding the numbers to the drawers ready for tomorrow... Can you spot the problem with your kit @Hobbycraft

@LothianBB any update on service? Understand the weather yesterday was extreme but would be good to know when you expect to be back up and running

Many still have the idea that the UK and Israel have an exceptionally high vaccination rate.

This is not the case anymore. Both countries were doing very well early on, but they are not among the top countries anymore.

@dduncanfraser That's a good point. I was thinking lots of that would have happened earlier but maybe the shift is still happening as it becomes clear consumption patterns have changed permanently. Maybe some supporting the construction industry too

[Laura Pollitt @LauraCPollitt]

Really interesting seeing the trends in jobs being advertised. Good to see the bounce back in hospitality and tourism. Massive increase in construction and not sure what is happening with transport/logistics? https://t.co/c9ObdXA956
