The Retirement Thread

I did not ask and nobody said which I got but due to transport away from a main hub it would have been the Astra Zeneca one. I was told to wait in my car for 15 minutes before travelling home. No idea where they put those who came on foot as there is not much spare room at the surgery. There were a couple of meet and greet girls [yes girls] wandering around keeping an eye on those in cars in between checking people in.

Out of interest, did you not get any paperwork to say which vaccine they gave you, so that the same one can be used for second dose?

Perhaps, the NHS are keeping (Computer) records?, in which case, I hope it is not on an Office 2003 Excel Spreadsheet!

I know they are looking at mixing doses, but, I doubt that research will be complete before your (or my) second dose.

Windy day here but rain has stopped. No snow at low levels but the highest peaks have a new covering and the mountains of Rum are well covered. Calmac are cancelling sailings again due to weather problems but I suspect it is probably due to low traffic volumes and no compensation is paid for weather related cancellations.
The passenger gangway at Craignure seems to have been condemned after a safety inspection so all foot passengers have to go on and off using the car deck. This is owned by A & B Council I think and not Calmac.
When I was out at about 10 o'clock there seemed to be lot of traffic about and parking at the coop was all taken which is unusual for winter morning.
One letting agency is advertising "Staycations" on Mull in February at off season rates allegedly for residents only. Really.
No 2 son is due home from Taiwan soon so hope he gets in before the new regs kick in. £80 per night for 10 nights tho' his employers will probably pay this. A bit hard on independent contractors who are self employed and would have to pay this themselves. He has to have 2 or 3 negative tests anyway before he reaches the UK but coming via Amsterdam may complicate matters.

I got a card with details of the vaccine and time and date, plus a sheet of bumph about the vaccine and its side effects

No information bar a leaflet giving the date of my recent jab. Due to transport problems it would have to be at present the Astra Zeneca one and everybody here would have the same one.
So far as I can tell there is no disadvantage and may be an advantage in mixing doses on present knowledge.

Yes, that view was on News, today, but, with the emphasis on "may". Research is ongoing to prove/disprove, according to todays report.

Here the wait time for Pfizer is 3 weeks, which is what my neighbor got a few days after I got Moderna, which is a 4 week wait. He had his second on Feb 3 and said it gave him flu symptoms for at least 24 hours. Mine will be Thursday next and it will be interesting to see if it is the same.
The Two Daves...best wishes for your spouses.
Shot about 60 arrows yesterday, until my fingers got cold. If the target were a deer, it would be laughing. Praps I will do better today.
It will be cloudy, around 0C and a stiff breeze. The good thing about the breeze is working against it generates some warm.
Thanks for the bubble info, we don't use that expression here, but since many still refuse to wear masks or practice any kind of social distancing, why would it be a thing?
Mo, don't be like me and get so impatient to do what you want you injure your wrist further.
Hasta Lugo, compadres.

Mushy peas!

It is illegal to have fish n chips without mushy peas. Not certain but it may be a hanging offence, similar to a bacon butty without brown sauce.

Mushy peas, real peas anytime, not that green slimey stuff.

I don't like mushy peas or brown sauce, red sauce for me on most things, ordinary peas or baked beans with my fish.

I can see the mushy but where are the peas, it looks like puree

Baked beans
Next you will be having gravy or curry sauce on your fish.
