Yesterday I was up at 5.30am, but this morning it was a much more reasonable 7.30am when I opened my eyes!
Keith had a very important appointment today - his Covid jab! He was due at 9.50am so I drove him there and waited in the car.
I actually felt very emotional watching everybody go into the building to get their vaccine. Obviously, most of the people were older, and probably over 70 years of age, and it just felt great to see them going to be protected against this horrible virus. At the same time, though, I did feel like we were in some kind of nightmarish world where huge vaccination centres have been set up to protect the population. A year ago we would never have believed what would happen.
Keith emerged barely ten minutes after his allotted time and said the whole process had been great - very smooth, efficient and professional. He received a leaflet and will have to return in 12 weeks for his second dose. He has been given the Astra Zeneca vaccine:
We returned home to have breakfast and coffee in the conservatory with Sophie, who was delighted that her Dad had received the vaccine. Let's just hope the remaining three of us will have ours soon!
