Snow disappeared overnight, we are now having a warm day before the next batch of cold returns. One thing you can always depend on is changeable weather in Britain. Mostly power has been returned round here but not up on 'the tops' or the moor The stranded visitors in the Tan Hill pub have been rescued. Probably reluctantly, they had had a good time and have already planned a reunion next year.
Lots of reassuring talk on the radio this morning about the booster vaccinations but it is not necessarily working to order. We are off to Burnley this morning to try for the booster. My local appointment was cancelled, due to the loss of power over the weekend is the excuse. No vaccine there last week or this week, so it is not as easy as the government official (Gillian Keegan) is prattling on about.
I see the Labour party is having a spring clean and changing the furniture around, can it be they sense blood? Are we really so fed up with Tory rule, that those who vote labour will return in their droves.
Should have started with the thought 'living on the edge'. The radio has become a faulty receptor of our phones, zoom meetings and the jangle of various phone tunes - was it ever like this? Yesterday alarms boomed in the 'Today' studio and they vacated the building for half an hour. Do we live in a state of panic, I noticed when the electricity went off alarms started everywhere, and then when it came on they started up again. Lots of people on the social chitchat did not know how to turn them off!
Hope you manage to get that booster - at least one feels as safe as possible after it.
ReplyDeleteYes Pat, we stood for an hour and went through the various desks till I arrived and was jabbed. Burnley was a new experience. Sour dough toasted sandwich of emmenthal and mushrooms cheered me up at M&S'
DeleteSounds like you are stressed. Hope you get your booster soon so you can be rid of one of your worries. Hope you can plan some relaxing visits to bring you calm. Take care!
ReplyDeleteWell actually Ellen, my first bus ride since I have been here and it was quite relaxing, though mizzle and fog did not lift the gloom. But I saw the countryside, it is Lancashire when you go to Burnley, and my daughter did a charity shop visit to buy stuff for her own shop.
DeleteI think voters are imagining that conservative and liberal are the only sides to a story. It is a mixed bag and we should get better at figuring that out. Did get my booster from my doctor although she never called to bring me in!
ReplyDeleteWell I have had emails and letters telling me to get vaccinated but no luck at our doctors. But the booster vaccination is finally completed Tabor. Thank goodness. The problem with sparring political sides is writ so large on the wall, but our system is of course a two way affair.
