I received the letter on Tuesday, went immediately on-line and booked a slot for Thursday morning in Grimsby. Following the booking I then received a text message from the local surgery offering a jab and then on Wednesday evening I also had a phone call from the surgery. It would have been far easier to walk into Market Rasen but as it happened it was a sunny day on Thursday and so I drove there in the Porsche. The centre was a small clinic and pharmacy and they only had room for one person at a time. I was met in the car park and they were expecting me. I was escorted into the building, went through the usual checks had the vaccination and was back out in under ten minutes. I now have the Oxford-AstraZeneca version in my blood stream. It was fast and efficient so no complaints from me. My arm did feel bruised and the following day I was very lethargic even resorting to a 30 minute snooze in the afternoon but I was back to normal by Saturday. Another 3 weeks and I will be 76% bullet proof. My second jab isn't until 26th April.

I tolerated Linux for nearly three years but when I learned I had to rebuild Linux to upgrade from version18 to 21 I decided to install Windows 10. It has all gone very smoothly so far however I still have a lot of software left to install and have to find new ways of, for example, editing photos.

As you will have seen in my <a href="http://pigyard.com/wordpress/archives/6639">last post</a> the garden alongside the drive was exceedingly boggy and that has become even wetter. It is the most waterlogged I have ever seen it in the last seven years. I haven't started to build an Arc but maybe I should get some wood in.
