We had ours booked for Monday, but had to cancel. They said phone back when you have had 2 clear tests.

Good morning everyone ,  I hope all back here in the UK are well today and I send my best wishes for Mrs Goggins, gadabout60, & splice the mainbrace to have a healthy rest of the cruise on Ventura.

Thanks, fortunately I only had a day feeling under the weather with a head cold and a few days of coughing afterwards, so got off lightly, so far (touching lots of wood). We are on Sky Princess and I think a certain Philip from Yorkshire is also on board 🤔

I hope that those who have had their annual vaccinations today are all ok with no adverse reactions.

I had both my flu and covid vaccines this morning, nice and quick by a lady that I knew from working at the vaccine clinics in previous years.  She told me that there is a much lower take up this year, she thinks that people have started to think that it is much less serious than it was previously.  They only had 20 appointments today but they are doing walkins if anyone asks for one.  DH is having both of his done ln Monday.

I called at the surgery next to the pharmacy to make an appointment with the doctor because I am running out of the tablets that I was prescribed by hospital but when I got them they didn't give a me repeat prescription.  I have to see the doctor because the hospital haven't put the results of my tests on the NHS system yet so I am to take the box from the tablets that the hospital prescribed.

Good afternoon.

I had the flu jab in my right arm and COVID jab in my left arm.

Afterwards we got ham and cheese toasties and coffee and went to the beach to eat them.

I hope everyone else who had vaccines today are well and we all have a pleasant day.

They didn't tell me to get a Starbucks so I walked to the nearby oatcake shop and we have had them with bacon, egg and mushrooms for lunch.

I have my Covid jab booked for next week at the local healthy living centre and the flu jab booked the following week at Boots.

 

Last year I wasn't eligible for a Covid jab and had to pay for the flu jab, but I'm included in the over 65's this year, even though I'm not 65 until March

We have just been advised that there is all out national transport strike in Italy on Saturday 5th.

 

Posting just in case anyone is heading there as it affects, trains, trame,  buses, etc and Im on hold to find out from our operator  (not P&O ) as not sure yet if we will get our pre booked coach transfers either.

Just in case anyone else might be affected if travelling on in port that day.

You can’t beat wholesome home coked food. I always think home made soup is better on the second day as well.

 

Enjoy!
