Seriously OTT. Theres parts of our street that are like the Blackpool illuminations.

I should get jabbed at some point between 24/02/21 and 13/03/21.

Just checked . SNAP.

Me too.

Looks like a trip to Devon with my bike next summer.

(My sister will be a month or two behind me so I had better wait for her to catch up. Her kids are in their 20s so they ought to be ok. Assuming that it will be allowed by the rules in force then, of course!)

Very, very muddy 7 mile walk today. Decent weather till the last hour when the drizzle set. A good day. Tea and crumpets now.

Discovered our friends and neighbours are part of the national Covid-19 screening programme. They've been in it for five months, one test per month. £50 in M&S vouchers for the first test, £25 for subsequent tests EACH!! 😳

Yes, one of my Pals and his wife are on that wheeze.

Oldest daughter is getting £50/hr for giving COVID Vaccine, one day per week.

If the vaccine program lasts as long as predicted up thread, she will be able to retire.

Some money pouring out.

So in theory there are 10-12m people ahead of me in the vaccine queue. I should get jabbed at some point between 24/02/21 and 13/03/21.

Vaccine Calculator.

It will ask to install but you can ignore this.

28/01/2021 for me

Based on your profile, there are between 6,029,525 and 9,926,645 people in front of you in the queue for a COVID vaccine across the UK.

📅 Given a vaccination rate of 1,000,000 a week and an uptake of 70.6%, you should expect to receive your vaccine between 28/01/2021 and 24/02/2021.

Can't have the flu jab, which if it's a requirement, rules me out of getting this one.

You can have mine....not sure I want it. Lol.

I have just watched Far from the madding crowd. I had seen it, but it is good enough to watch again.

That's two going spare.
Wonder if we can sell our space in the "queue"?

 

[JPBoothy]

Can't do anything round here........

Blimey, somebody cut him off again quick. I'm exhausted after reading all of that

Further to my luddite type comment on technology, why on earth does anybody 'who isn't a photographer' need to buy a drone?

The shares are still going up. As soon as they start to come down I will sell

Closing(London) price down on yesterday!
2,220.00 -62.00 (2.72%)

Vanilla has a value than silver this year. Chocolate demand has grown during lockdowns, worldwide. Or is that during worldwide lockdowns?

Not chocolate! Vanilla which is used in the production of chocolate.
