Slight miff
Some weeks ago I had a text from my GP practice saying there was a flu vaccination session for Ye Olds at a time that I didn't find terribly convenient, and I thought, well, they are probably going to do more of these -
- and then they didn't, which may have been down to issues around vaccine supplies I suppose.
And a little while later I looked on their website and there was absolutely zilch about flu vaccinations for this winter season, as opposed to in general terms.
Anyway, this week partner had a phonecall from his GP practice offering him an appointment for his flu jab and went and had it and said it was all very well organised with distancing etc.
So I went back to my practice's website and lo and behold, they are now doing flu jabs, by appointment. I am sure in previous years there were emails and texts and possibly mailings informing one that Ye Flu Jab Season Had Begun.
And I was going to ring up to make an appointment, which would be the first time I have ventured out for months -
- only, then partner came across something about the latest Which report on masks, and the ones we got way back are very basic indeed, so we have ordered some of their top scorers, the ones which are also given out glasses-friendly, so I think I might just hold on on making an appointment until I have those.

And in other lockdown news, sometimes one is bewildered by what supermarkets consider suitable substitutions; maybe okra/pak choi, well, they're both Exotic Vegetables? And besides the freebie instant chocolate oatmeal packs, there were mysterious gratuitous raspberries, which seem to be a mistake.
