Covid - news and views

My Aged Sister , 90, gets her second this Sunday, so I'm hoping my second will turn up with a 'Thorntons' chocolate Easter Egg  with my name on very soon  

Brian is, of course, more than willing to share the Egg,  .

Thundering great big silly grin all over Brian's face this lunch-time , and all because he got, and replied to, a text ~-~- so now that's the second jab booked for a week today.

WHOOPEE  !!

Any sign of the aforementioned Egg Brian?

Not yet, WN, but I passed two ( 2 ) boxes of M & S eggs various to aged sister and she will distribute them around her G & GG children over this coming week. But I don't think there will be any left for yours truly, so I'll buy myself another couple of boxes tomorrow and distribute them in my locale ~~ well it's only fair innit 

I did send a 'Thank You' card after my first vaccination so I could even buy a bag or two of the thumbnail sized eggs and leave them for the  "Workers" couldn't I.

Retirement 'to do list'  :  Wake up ~~ Nailed it

Went to an Antiques Auction only to find folks were bidding on ME.

Retired :  under New Management ~~ See Spouse for details.

Some times it takes me all day to get nothing done

Had a text yesterday. Jabs booked for Saturday.

Got a text from GP surgery for OH to book 2nd jab on 7th or 9th, when I eventually got through last attempt 46 minutes. Had a joke with receptionist regarding being busy as a result of texting folks, I do know her, only to find delivery has been halted, no reason given, so she was getting lots of earache! There is a long recorded run in message before you get a ringing tone for receptionist with lots of spiel on the virus, new systems etc, said to her their earache could be saved by a temporary tweak to the message, her reply short reply spoke volumes, 'it had been suggested in house'......

My brother suggested going online and checking out a centre situation - hadn't thought of that. Got started but tripped up after entering NHS number, not eligible to use a centre contact GP. Wasn't overly surprised and not an issue.

Fingers crossed they'll have a new supply very soon as that would be 11 weeks since his first.

Good to hear others are getting theirs. The country has done very well on the roll out 👏👏

Furloughed for a month .  No jabbing required .  What am I going to do for my daily fix? .  

B2, our jabs are GP led so we don't know when we get our boosters however our elderly neighbours are just about to get theirs so the local call system is working. We have phone calls, they phone us, no texts. Just sorry there is a break on the roll out for the next group.

Our son, age 50, just got his letter, first vaccination on 5th April, so things seem to be moving along up here now.

Our second ones should be mid-late April.
