Yesterday saw the first vaccinations carried out, the first one on a ninety year old grandmother who wanted to know what all the fuss is about. Trouble is there are limited stocks and so many people to give it to, so no easing of regulations yet and not for a whiloe yet anyway. Can't see it getting round to us any time soon. Seems they are starting with the elderly in care homes and the workers there, and frontline workers meaning nurses and doctors i suppose, and the normal general public coming quite low on the list. Just have to be patient.
Rained pretty much all day yesterday, today it is clearer but quite cold as you would expect for December. Not been a bad winter so far, some places have had snow, the high grounds and hills, and also some areas like Norfolk. We do not get much snow here, it has to be quite bad for us to get snow here on the coast. The gritter lorry has been out a few nights though when frost was expected but not too bad yet.
Vin is waiting in this morning for a delivery of coal from the coal lorry. Not coal exactly but super therm which he says is good and hot. We are using some of our heating allowance from the government to pay for that. Also waiting for some christmas cards coming from M&S via the post office. I had put an order to them last week for two items the other arrived yesterday via DPD and half due from the post office. No idea why they did that but no matter.
Vin has just come up to say he is pottering around as he does, been playing with the cat as he does. Sleeping a lot as cats do, and keeping nice and warm by the heaters.
