It's the end of May Bank Holiday weekend and the Sunday of the weekend, which means the good news is that I don't have to work tomorrow. This morning I did our weekly shop at Tesco and this afternoon I have had my second dose of the Astra Zeneca vaccine. I received a text a couple of days ago that said if I had booked my second jab I could have it earlier than planned. So I had to cancel the original and could then book an earlier date, so that's what I did, nearly two weeks sooner than it was originally scheduled. I think the NHS has done a marvellous job with the vaccine roll-out. It was all so efficient and organised. Now that I'm fully vaccinated I feel like the life that was put on hold can continue on as normal. I just need my wife to receive her second dose and then it will really feel like getting back to normal again.
Yesterday there was a protest march in London about vaccine passports and the restrictions placed on us like mandatory facemasks and social distancing. They say the media and government are lying and that there is no virus. My own view is that the virus is real and is deadly enough to want to do everything to stamp it out. The people protesting are selfish and putting everyone at risk.
