As we seem to be on the same page re issues.

As I said I was lucky enough to get my flu jab the other day.

Had appt booked in for docs.

Couple on twitter asking where to get theirs as surgery run out and boots stopped taking bookings.

I'd suggest those that need it, take note and get in asap..
Lots of post suggests appt's being cancelled as vaccines run out ..

Hi @gennepher - Bizarrely, although it shows a photo of a roll, it came in a flat pack so no folds. I have ordered it twice so reasonably confident it will come flat. This is the one I ordered: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06XF7QPZX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Good morning everyone from another day of possibilities in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of chicken with lemon, coriander and spinach came in at 4.8 this am

Baby sitting duties yesterday - park, ducks, squirrels, trees, lake, bridges - then promenade, sea, beach, avoid, masks, gel.
MIL not good - it has to be a telephone consultation from a nurse practitioner first and then a 10 point escalation plan that eventually gets to to see a visual representation of what in the old days we called a doctor. Mrs Miggins went over to help with the call (useful having a speaker function).

Today, clearing out the little indoor garden in the room with no name and re-planting to make a herb patch. Lunch with one of our nieces in a Covid select antisocially arrange, deep cleaned and operating theatre standard PUB. All masked up until seated please.

Painting today using one brush and on rice paper. May today be kinder to you than it was yesterday. Koffy time.

art bit -
still with the idea of water, after @Alien Aspie made that very effective piece of art with the water droplets I put it on my list of things to have a go at. This is based on a photo I took of some Alchemilla beside our doorstep.

@jjraak - lucky to get your vaccine done, we had to phone a special phone line number and they were making appts. on a first come first served basis. they are doing the shots at the Health Centre using the Saturdays when it's normally closed. Our appts. are on the 12th November there are only 4 places per 5 minute slot and no internal waiting area.

Not sure as Mrs Miggins has not been there since they came out of lockdown. Looking at their website the services are running but limited. https://www.nymr.co.uk/pages/category/2020-summer-tickets

an awful long wait, me thinks, considering the season and the health climate.

really don't understand why some (@dunelm ) surgeries can be so effective, and while mine was a little tardy, it was this month...but november, smacks of male hens up
it really just beggars belief this of all things could be so messed up.

Not even Durham 'walkabout' Dom, could claim this flu seasons flu shot roll out was not expected to be above the average
and be expected to be believed.

hope you all stay well until then or get lucky and find a chemist able to supply the shot before then ..x

I am not in a good place...it's this Wrexham Hospital appointment. My internet friend rang for me and said that I wasn't happy travelling alone and being a profoundly deaf person, alone and through two counties in lockdown and a bit of England to get to the hospital. So could the appointment be postponed.

Appointments said no, because the appointment was urgent, and put her through to gynaecology. She spoke to a gynaecologist who said it was extremely urgent that I go on Monday, and I was entitled to despite two different county's lockdowns.

And, that if I am delayed because of the police checkpoints between the counties, to still carry on. And that they would understand if I was late, and that it is not my fault, but I have to get there for Monday's appointment. And the gynaecologist would wait for me.

Now, I am worried.

I cannot face driving through a police checkpoint. And having to answer their questions. This is the bl**dy UK. I will have my appointment letter. But I had no idea this appointment was urgent. This is a complete shock to me. I can't assimilate it. And I had no idea of the appointment letter when it came a week ago, no one informed me I was being referred to gynaecology. So it was a complete surprise.

And now I am told that this appointment is extremely urgent and I have break through the police check points. There is nothing on the letter that indicates it is urgent, just that it is a gynaecology appointment.

I didn't know it was an urgent appointment that must not be missed until my internet friend telephoned on my behalf today.

So I am not in a good place. If the police insist it is not urgent from the letter, then they will be getting the full gory details of that butchered pessary change...
