Older neighbours making me smile...

I got a text while out walking this morning and booked mine for Friday. Sorry but I was so excited!
Also very lucky I know as I’m 71.

Not a lot to get upbeat about at the moment so I’m not apologising for it.

Obviously in an ideal world there would be enough vaccine to sort everyone out straight away but not possible.

The more people I hear that have had the vaccine the more it makes me smile too. My parents have both received it and I've never felt so relieved in my life. They were both given stickers which made them smile. It will be a while before DH and I will done but every vaccine given brings us a step nearer.

I was offered a sticker when I had my flu jab - if I’m offered one after my Covid jab I will wear it proudly!!

I took my mother for hers recently, and she said she felt too guilty to mention it to others, because of all the people who weren't as lucky as she was.

vampirequeen good for them, as MawBe said, nothing much else going on, it must feel like an inching forward when we have so little control over much else.

The vaccine has been built up by the politicians and the media as our Get Out Of Jail Free card - which it isn’t- so who can blame them,
Added to which, there is frankly the square root of bu**er all to talk about or for many people, to look forward to.
Indulge them and be pleased for them - judging by GN these days it is a major preoccupation with a lot more than your neighbours.

Lovely they have something to feel happy about. I’m with you vampirequeen. It made me smile.

Oh don't get me started.
I've done a similar thread.
Although it is 100 % a wonderful thing, the vaccine has come a little bit late for some (many) people.
I do wish people would show some empathy and tact.
