We’re jabbin, we’re jabbin …

Everyone seems agreed that the rollout of the booster vaccine is not going as smoothly and efficiently as the first vaccines we had earlier in the year. I got fed up with waiting for my promised letter and booked online. After entering my postcode, I found a bizarre list of places to choose from: small pharmacies six miles away (why not any of our local ones?) or, if I fancied making a little holiday of it, a trip to the Isle of Wight. I have booked for next week and am hoping that having the Pfizer vaccine rather than the one I had before will have no ill effects.

England v. Sri Lanka: phew

After thrashing the Aussies the other day (I could never tire of writing that), England were favourites to win. It all got rather close for comfort but England made it four wins in four matches. Jos Buttler! Is he even human? I’ve watched the clip of his brilliant run out three times, it’s so great. He says it was his favourite part of the match; this from a man who made a terrific century. We’re so lucky to have him.
