A call from the GP’s surgery – ‘What are you doing on Thursday morning?’ marked the beginning of my journey to sunlit uplands…..no, not those ficticious ones.
Maybe the TGO Challenge and normal life will return this year – I hope so.
Just some of the things miss so much:
My friends and acquaintances, all of them (yes, even you!)
Going to the pub for good beer, stimulating conversation, singing & playing music – or just chilling in a convivial atmosphere.
Playing in the ceilidh band
Getting out for a decent walk
Cheshire Hare & Hounds Tally-Ho!
Backpacking
Camping
Taking my (new-ish to me) caravan out.
….and so much more
Anyroadup:
The jab was painless, after-effects minimal: a very slight feeling of bruising, and a couple of days of all-over body stiffness – a small price to pay.
England has paid a high price for the way the Covid-19 epidemic has been dealt with by the government, fingers crossed this improve now that vaccinations are under way – although this government’s record of dealing with significant challenges doesn’t fill me with confidence. If there’s just a chance of something going pear-shaped then this government will do it’s damnedest to ensure a total screw-up – that’s where their competence lies.
Talking of lies, well I suppose we’re world-beating at something.
My very grateful thanks to the researchers, the NHS and staff everywhere, the carers, those who wear face-masks and take the threat of Covid-19 seriously, my GP and all her wonderful staff,….and so many more.
