Back from the Dr. Grandson has had his flu jab. His arm is a bit sore.

And I had to do his washing as well as his brother was at home using the machine

Our village pharmacy is still restricting customers to two people at one time.MrsP went to collect her meds but had forgotten to take her mask She had to stay outside and they brought her meds to her.Their policy is no entry if you are not wearing a mask but they will get items and bring them out

Exactly the same as ours. The GP practice posted on FB yesterday no mask, no entry.

The pharmacy here has a ‘hole in the wall’ machine, like an ATM, that allows you to collect your prescription 24/7 from the pavement. They send you a text to tell you it’s ready.

Most all grocery stores in these parts have a pharmacy and a liquor store as part of the grocery. A few have a gas station adjacent.
It was 1C this morning and will get up to about 12C this afternoon. First bike ride in over 2 weeks will be had. Ki yiii yippee yay!
Be well and safe and Dave R praise your lovely wife for her moxie.

Grandson has just left with his dad to pick up his car. He has been fed and watered and had his washing done. Gran comes in handy now and again

A couple of hours ago I was unlocking my bike outside Aldi when some nutty OAP cyclist in dayglo kit stopped and engaged me in conversation. He told me that he had been up the long Cragg Vale climb and that the wind up there was so strong that he's had to use his bottom gear up on the moor. I was glad that I had stuck to my lumpy little local shopping loop.

I tried to make my escape, but he followed me home and demanded that I make him a mug of tea. I felt sorry for the old guy and invited him in. He entertained me for a while with a story about his wife chasing giant multi-coloured centipedes, then he had a moan about not being able to get his Covid booster jab because he doesn't know his NHS number and he can't find out his NHS number because he keeps getting fobbed off by 'the system'!

I eventually managed to shove him and his bike back out onto the street, but now I'm worried - he knows where I live!






PS It's ok really - he's a mate of mine!

If you are really lucky it could be a truck driver and sent back to earth

Really?? Can't do that at ours. Even basics have to go via a pharmacy.

Our GP Surgery has a Pharmacy attached (separate entrance).

We can order Meds on line, using the GP App.

The Prescription can be sent to the Pharmacy (not necessarily the attached Pharmacy), electronically.

The Pharmacy send you a text when it is ready to collect.

It is also possible to have the Medication delivered, by the Pharmacy, but, we are well enough to walk or bike there, so, never availed ourselves of this "feature"

The pharmacy has a "masks and one person" policy, and screens everywhere.

There is a covered porch to wait in, if it is raining, but, that sort of negates the social distancing bit.

The mask and 1 person policy is the same here and you can also order online..saves 1 trip although Mr WD doesn't do it . Don't ask

Mrs G had her 3rd Covid jab earlier today. Her appointment was at 3pm but she had to queue in the rain until 3.30 before she was seen. I stayed with her to give her moral support. She was also told not to have the flue jab for at least 7 days so I will have to bear that in mind when I have mine on the 17th next month.
We got back late as Mrs G wanted to go to Asda after her jab so I never had time to put the new chain on the Allez. That will be done tomorrow now.
