[QUOTE="RFSMarch, post: 2368262, member: 410451"] Hello again all. Coming to the end of three looooong weeks of Aussie hours. Things I have learned [LIST] [*]Despite being de rigeur for the last three weeks, protein bars and alternating Waitrose cup soups and Pot Noodles do not a valid food group make at 3am. [*]Also this being up at midnight, 2am, 4am lark is... well... let's just say I will be relieved when this godforsaken swing is over... [*]Tennis Australia having an extra tournament next week can basically go discover things about their intimate anatomy - three weeks of this nonsense is enough. No-one cares about the tournament the week after a Slam and I need sleep! [/LIST] Yesterday I received a rather terse email from the NHS telling me I had now been reclassified as high risk. We have had a lot of scams our way so I called the surgery and initially the most snooty of the receptionists was like "YOU? That can't be right" before checking and coming back and telling me "I need to book you in RIGHT NOW..." and thus I have my first vaccination on March 2. Given that the advice says do NOT go to the supermarket, or even the pharmacy if classified as a shielded patient (which of course I have been doing every 2-3 weeks for groceries/bank and as needed for meds!) I find it somewhat hilarious and baffling that my designated centre is in an area where there is no parking for non-residents as it is permit controlled, so ... my options (as a shielded patient) is.... get someone to take me in their car (!) or.... wait for it... Get the bus (!!!).Which... kinda negates the whole "barricade your door and do not talk to strangers' schtick! Go figure! A mate has said she will take me and if not I will just get the bus although Mrs Passive Aggressive up the road OF COURSE was the only person in our road to get an infection from the needle, she claims. Luckily another neighbour came to my rescue and basically demanded to know what she was suggesting I do about it? Turn down the jab? Nonsense. Anyway... back to writing previews... and will try and come back on Monday and if I can afford it, Swipey will be back in March. In the words of the ever wonderful [USER=193971]@ianpspurs[/USER] toodle-pip and I will be back on Monday... ish. [/QUOTE]
