Pleased to hear that you will be getting the jab, and hoping that Alice is not to far behind you.😊

Cheers, Pete

Pete, no, my jab is being done in the hospital where I am a patient but they told me that it is patients only and they said that Alice's will come through the GP.. They gave me a lot of paperwork about it this evening to peruse beforehand.

Cheers, Nerys

Glad to hear that you will be getting the Covid jab in a couple of weeks Nerys, but what about Alice? has she been given a date yet? I have just received an SMS telling me I have an appointment on the 22nd of this month at our ICC (integrated care center) about a 10 min bus ride, on a route only 2 mins walk away, can't really complain about the locality, but no news of a jab for my wife.😊

Cheers, Pete

Colin, I think it disgusting that a town the size of Aberystwyth , which is more or less the regional centre for quite a large rural area would have the capability to dish out vaccinations, Surely the GPs, the hospital or even the pharmacies could take it on between them. GIG, the Welsh NHS does leave a lot to be desired in many ways, but something as fundamental as that, I ask you. Surely, it's only like doing a second dose of the flu vaccine with a few extras.

Cheers, Nerys

Thats great news Nerys, my mum was sent a list of vaccination centres for her, the nearest is a round trip of nearly 60 miles. She doesn't drive anymore, and no relatives nearby to take her. You'd think Aberystwyth would have capability to give vaccinations.
Cheers Colin.

A piece of good news on the personal front, the sister on my dialysis ward told me that I would be getting the jab within the next two weeks.

Cheers, Nerys

Our govt is importing cases of the new strain (letting every man and his dog in it seems, but saying nothing) just so we can have a taste of it and see if we like it!! We are being treated like mushrooms by pm buckey Adern and her slimy mates. We are doing well at the moment ( no community cases at present) but they are risking a major problem by letting all these people in, ( they are not all returning New Zealanders, and seem to be coming from everywhere??!) We have 32 flights arriving today, - 16 different airlines- (Just at Auckland airport) from all round the world, (even China !!!!!!!!!,-seriously??) - can't be all returning citizens at this stage??? Bloody ridiculous!

There will be plenty of fake pre flight testing certificates coming in, especially from places like India where you can buy anything, so how are they going to control it effectively and know every one is genuine? Anyhow, it's happening all over the world, and we are unfortunately just going to have to learn to live with it safely, till it crawls back into the hole it came out of.

There is heavy handed and their has been deaths at the hands of SA defence Force.

To True Ron,
This Pandemic spares nobody and in SA we have a mutant form same as UK that spreads faster

The Ontario, Canada, leaders have added more restrictions as the virus is hitting long care facilities very hard again.

Though of our extended family, five have it, one being an ICU nurse, my niece. She stepped in to help her grand parents as her grandpa was very ill. He is in his 90’s, they live on a farm, but they did not want to send him to a hospital as no visitors or family would be allowed to be with him. His wife said, No, she would look after him, and she is 94! He is better, but the virus infected her, their son, his wife, and their daughter, who is the nurse. All but one, experienced a loss of taste and smell for a period of time.

My wife and I are well, we stay home most days, just a 2 km walk or so each day for some exercise. Cannot stay “glued” to the workbench all the time, or one might begin to look like the couch...over stuffed🤓
