 As I wait to be called for the vaccine, every time the phone rings I jump. Will this be it? Don’t know how long it will be as don’t know how many 80 year olds there are in this area. As some of those at the head of the queue suffered anaphylactic shock, the latest idea is for everyone, after having the vaccine, to sit in a secluded room at the back of the surgery for 15 minutes to see if we’ve become more bat-like. On Wednesday, Birmingham will be told whether it can move from its present tier 3 to tier 2. Hope so, as I feel for small businesses who simply can’t continue as it is. To take my mind off things, we walk around our local park, social distancing, and admiring the giant father Xmas and the inventive coloured lights all around. But, could someone tell our neighbours across the road that flashing blue lights were not a good choice. Every evening we think the police are outside waiting to arrest us!
