We discussed this many moons ago and at that stage I voted for 'Last of the Summer Whine'. On mature reflection, it's not as good as 'Rock On'!

About the vaccinations, some of my friends got theirs from their GP but most had to go to Citywest as wot I done! My family members had already registered before me and have also made follow up phone calls. Can't understand why they're waiting so long when the rest of us were done weeks ago. They'll just have to wait I suppose.

I registered on the HSE website thingy. Don't know if I'll be going to my own doctor or some vaccination centre. Darlink went to our own doctor but he's medically vulnerable or something.

Getting old seems to be like steps of stairs. Every now and again something happens to demonstrate that you are less able, then that continues for a bit till the next step comes along. I have an idea that I am currently feeling about 10 years older than my age, due to medical stuff and not helped by covid restrictions.

I am finally having to accept that my ambition to build a block wall in the garden is not matched by my physical ability. My head still knows how to do it, but the blocks are much heavier these days than they used to be.
