Here by special request, the latest in the Lovely Morning series.
I think a lot of the changes are not for the better but then I am old and grumpy.
Moi2, on the subject of getting flu and Covid jabs, I am in the first group for Covid jabs because I have a blood cancer. Up to Monday I hadn't heard anything from my GP surgery so I rang on Monday morning to plead my case and I was given 12th of November. Now Mrs Tvman and I are going to see my daughter and grandchildren on 31st October in Peterborough for a week and we hoped to have had our vaccinations before that.
I'm sure I had been overlooked and Mrs Tvman thought that too. Our 36 year old son also lives with us. Yesterday, Tuesday, my wife rang the surgery because she's really worried and spoke to a different receptionist To cut a long story short (and I love long stories, look up my posts to here) she was given an appointment for the 3 of us for next Monday. Then an hour later at 1.30 the receptionist phoned her to ask us to go at 3pm for our jabs. So we're in the waiting room and our GP and a nurse came in pushing a trolley. The GP gave us the Covid jabs in our left arms and the nurse did the flu jabs in our right arms. The GP said that the Covid jab consisted of 2 types and said that people are saying that they have a sore arm. I've never had a sore arm and I'm happy to say I still haven't
