Today's riveting instalment can be condensed into the following... xray, xray, xray ... wait a bit ... xray, xray, xray, xray ... wait a bit ... speak to the clever bloke ... look at the purty pictures ... big, BIG, BBIIGG jag in the shoulder

....................................



I've had quite a few chest xrays this year. On Friday my GP decided I need another but it was too late to attend the walk-in service at WIG.

Mostly, when a clinic sends you for an xray, you're sent back to the clinic with a bit of paper with a 10 digit number and/ a bar-code. By the time you get back to the clinic, the results are on the consultant's computer screen.

I went to the walk- in clinic on Monday morning and was told the results would be with my GP "in two weeks".

What's going on?

Hopefully not. If he has to go through all his shirts looking, it'll be weeks before we see him again.

I'm intrigued by the rumour that a place in Edinburgh's northern New Town does what is effectively a Lobster Thermidore Supper. Salt and sauce?

The Deep Sea chippy used to do all manner of stuff. Squid suppers stick in my mind.

Having said that, I don't really know what Lobster Thermidore is. Note to self : Google.

Both L'Alba D'oro or L'Aquila Bianca (check spellings) are/ were renowned for 'exotic' suppers + side orders you wouldn't expect in a chippie.

One (I can't recall which) is in Stockbridge - though it may have closed recently and the other is on Eyre Place, off Dundas Street.

I did, and I'm taken with the notion of a haddock thermidore. No sauce.

Isn't the 'thermidor' bit just the sauce? In theory, there's no reason why you couldn't subsititute crab meat for lobster meat in a crab thermidor.

It is, and it sounds grand. Picture yon chippy sauce slathered over the top, though...
