Yesterday, it was my turn to have the seasonal flu and Covid injections. I arrived at the health centre at 8:40 and was back in the car by 8:50. The National Health Service was extremely efficient. The four nurses on duty cumulatively do 400 patients a day, every day. In a couple of weeks they'll have done all the towns over 60's. The Covid shot has had no after effects but the flu shot has left me feeling tired and grumpy. The young nurse tells me this isn't unusual and the flu like symptoms usually appear, and disappear, within 48 hours. 'The Font' is scheduled to go in next week.
Budget Day in the UK. The radio this morning full of serious folk spouting dire warnings about tax rises. We change channel, quickly, to something more uplifting.
This small coastal town always has something going on. On our morning walk we observe that Elvis will be appearing at the 'hip' cocktail bar.
For the rugby playing student there are quiz nights. The pub by the Old Course offers a £60 bar tab prize. That seems a reasonable inducement.

Oh, my husband would be excited about that Mozart flute concerto. I might opt for the pub quiz - my niece and her chef boyfriend are taking over running a pub in Dorset in a few weeks, so I need to learn about these things. (First surprise was "skittles," which are a candy in the US.)
And the pub night is dog friendly! How we've always envied wee Nobby and Gail who are able to attend their pub trivia nights together. Last week received Covid jab on left and Flu on right. Right arm still feels like someone punched it...hard.
