Things That Gladden The Heart

[backwoodsman]

email from my dental insurance telling me I'm getting an amazon e-voucher as compensation for loss of access to dentists.

I await - but I am not holding my breath in expectation of much more than a few quid. I didn't ask but obviously plenty have - and so...but a bit like finding a tenner in a jacket not worn for a while.

Not sure I get this? I've been 3 times since October (plus a visit to the hygenist) and have another appointment next week.

Pizza delivery - individual versions this time. Much appreciated and made a big difference to staff today as the numbers keep on rising and we see no sign of an end in sight

My stepdad, who's in his 80's, getting his first vaccine jab today. Just need to wait for my mum to get her's and we might actually be able to go and visit and actually go in her house in a couple of months time rather than standing in the garden.

FIL has had both of his, MIL gets hers tomorrow and just heard my Dad has his on Friday. Just his wife to go then all of our parents will have been vaxxed

whatsapping your 2 of your colleagues while on a big team zoom call and trying to make them laugh.

I am so childish

Watching Marine1 taking off from the White House lawn. What a superb helicopter - and great colour scheme.

My wife had the same recently , she got a voucher for £35 i think

Hey - not a lot - but certainly that'd be a bit more than I am expecting...

There was a period that you couldn't - I think it's for that period. Whatever it is - I'm not complaining.

Hearing the news this morning that those 70 & over will from today, start getting their invitation to have a vaccination. Then hearing that Mrs B's best friend (who's 73) got a text today inviting her to book her jab and has got a slot for tomorrow. To me, seems to indicate things are progressing quite well on that front ...

I agree, but there are one or two strange anomalies. Today, my SIL has received a text giving her a slot for tomorrow .
Good. However, her husband who is receiving regular prostate cancer treatment, and is older than her, has heard nothing!?

In-laws vaccinated but told to continue to shield which makes sense. Just need HID jabbed now.

I hope this is true; apparently Nigella Lawson's recipe of the day was Bitter Orange Tart.

Made me smile even if not true so gladdened the heart anyway.

Watching this morning all the happy tv news reporters from across the pond, very refreshing and optimistic.

I spent some of yesterday on calls with my colleagues on both the east and west coast through parts of the inauguration and the general lift in mood was joyous.

Politics though. ?‍

Well - I've received a £50 Amazon voucher from my Dental Insurance. I'm not complaining.

Broadband contract running out. Phoned up Plusnet ready to give it all the 'reduce the cost or we're leaving' spiel. But it turns out simply phoning them was all it took to reduce our price by £7 a month when it renews next month. Fair enough.

My parents volunteering to help out at their local vaccine centre ??

The gifts and messages of encouragement from the local community not just to ICU but across the trust
