Production line jabbing
Went for my Covid booster this morning. It was chaos at the pharmacy; a long queue and I joined it outside!
When I finally got to the desk and gave in my details the chap said Marion instead of Marilyn and when I gave him my birth date he wrote the wrong day and the wrong month! After I signed the form he said join the queue - what queue he meant I have no idea as I wasn't going to rejoin the one I'd just got to the front of, which was snaking outside and inside there was no queue, just a lot of people sitting or standing about . Some for flu jabs, some for Covid, some for both.
I was waiting a while and was sure that one of the jabbers was free - she appeared to be scrolling on her mobile phone - but I didn't want to go in uninvited. Eventually a young man sent me in and she had her back to me, still scrolling on the phone as she said to me to sit down. Eventually she closed the phone, took my paper and said "For Covid?" and still she had not looked at me. I said "Yes. " She picked up one of around 5 or 6 pre-pared syringes, which were lying on the desk in a line, asked me which arm, jabbed it in, then said that's it and I could go. Still no eye contact!
This afternoon I've done some bits in the garden and we've covered up our benches for the winter. I thought it best to do it while they were dry. It's sad to think how long it will be before we uncover them!
It's been a mild day with a lot of sunshine (see extra re temp in shade in back garden).
Tried to spot the comet again this evening but there was cloud cover.
