Hi folks,

Well, I had the Pfizer Covid vaccination yesterday and have experienced no ill-effects. I have to admit, I was hoping for the Oxford vaccine, but I think it would have been very foolish of me (and others) to reject the offer of protection against the coronavirus, especially given a soaring rise in cases due to the spread of the new variant. I can honestly say that I barely felt the prick and it has given me a new sense of self-confidence in going out and about locally.

Regular readers will know that I also have to attend hospital appointments for a stubborn ear infection which involves taking the London Underground into central London; I dread the journey each time as there are still Covidiots out there who do not wear their masks properly and/or let them slip so nose and mouth are not covered while they are on the train.

While I do not agree with the British Government’s decision to extend the gap between vaccinations from three weeks to three months, feel reasonably protected even after just one jab. I am also convinced that I experienced Covid-19 symptoms in early January; rightly or wrongly, that has left me feeling that I have an added immunity. So… fingers crossed.

It has been a busy week and I haven’t been sleeping too well, but continue to take each day as it comes, hoping for the best rather than swelling on any worst scenarios, and keep looking on the bright(er) side of life. I recommend it as a GOOD way to start any day at the moment. I am hoping to complete a new poem within the next few days, so… watch this space.

Take care, stay safe, keep well and let’s all continue to keep nurturing a positive mind-set rather than let the Naysayers of our time send us into free fall,

Back soon,

Hugs,

Roger

PS I'm glad to see that US President Trump has modified the tone of his rhetoric from explosive to reconciliatory, almost apologetic... even if  it is if only because he hopes to escape the lasting stigma of impeachment on his term in office.
