Gobbling and a prick

I may not be a turkey, but...

    1. That counts as a "booster jab", doesn't it? Jx

  2. I need more than a booster, I need a rocket up my arse.

  3. Meanwhile, they are late with boosters here [in the Covid Capital of England], and I am having to wait until December, though I'm very happy to know that you've had yours.

    1. It's supposed to be six months after your last one. How far do you have to travel to get yours (living, as you do, in the official "middle of nowhere")? Jx

    2. They've done well - 11 miles - I'm going to a pharmacy in Westward Ho. The vaccination centre in Barnstable books up quickly, and Exeter would've been like a day trip. The Doctor's surgery is only doing boosters for over 80's and the vulnerable. I'm just happy to have it booked.

  4. Good for you, dear boy. I am going tomorrow, I think. We have drive ups at the local grocery store!

  5. Got my booster and then got sick!

    And no, I'm not one of the morons implying the shot made me sick. Mine is a very mild case, but I'm burning up learning that I may test positive for weeks even though I've recovered.

    1. Ewww - hospitals and clinics are the worst for catching diseases! Testing positive is a sign your antibodies are working rather than you being infectious, I believe? But then again, I'm not a doctor. Jx

  6. We got ours as soon as it was available here in L.A. and I'm happy you've gotten yours, too! xoxoxo

  7. I had mine last week, I was a 'walk-in' no appointment, and after I had it done, I walked straight out, refusing to wait 15 minutes. I'm turning into Flora Petty!

    1. They sat us in a draughty old marquee in a car park. Less Downton Abbey, more "scene of crime". I left after five minutes of being sat in the cold. Jx

      PS I always imagined you as Peggy Mount.

  8. The Man and I have both had 2 shots of...um, Astrazeneca, I think...ns must wait for the booster until AFTER ALL THE BOOZY HIGH SCHOOL KIDS HAVE BEEN OUT SWAPPING SPIT AND SHARING BOTTLES! And then there's Christmas and New Year when all the old farts will be trying to swap spit...
    But what the hey! We had a terrific thundering storm today and the Men from the Met say more's to come. I'm a happier bunny. Bugger covid!

    1. It's been many decades since this old fart swapped spit with a boozy twink. Ah, memories... Jx
