Did they write to you or call you?

Call from my GP surgery. I was on a work call at the time but they left a nice clear message saying, “Call us back to make a Covid vaccination appointment.” So I did.

Ok. I'd better switch my landline phone on then.

Espadrille got her email today at 2pm to arrange the vaccination and by 3pm she had been jabbed. Pleased to say it was at the Etihad stadium . She said that it was not busy. Presmuably a combination of reduced supply whilst the manufacturers ramp up production and the notifications to the 65 - 70 age group has not yet ramped up fully. My mother-in-law lives in flats in north London. Looking out yesterday she notices an ambulance outside a house opposite lived in by an Indian family with an elderly grandmother. As she is wont to do, MiL popped over to see what was going on (she knows the grandmother a little) and discovered that the daughter-in-law aged 40 and with three children had died of cancer. So she gave her condolences at which point grandma gave her a big hug... MiL has been sent for testing.

I expect I'll be that last on here, being, you know, the youngest.

Bless - is there an emoji for being patted on the head?

No vaccination rollout underway down under yet. Doubt I will get the jab before Xmas...

I hope I wouldn’t have flinched in the same situation. Agreed. I assume that both grandmas have been vaccinated - MiL has. So not really an issue, but we are all becoming paranoid. And a hug in those circumstances is so much more beneficial than a kind word.

New mass vaccination site opened finally in Reading. At the Mad Jet Ski Stadium. I shall wear my Fulham top when I go.
