Melrick

I’ve already wished her a happy birthday, of course, but I’ll wish her a very happy birthday here, as well. 
She’s not at home at the moment.  She will be late today but might be going straight to bed when she gets in, but I’ll be sure to tell her that she’s been wished a happy birthday here.

Happy birthday to you!

My smutting has ceased to be. It is dead smut. I could no more write an even slightly sexualised line than I could enforce the pax romana. I’ve said this several times before but it really feels like it this time.

Wait until I turn 50 then we’ll see lol

Happy birthday!  Glad to here 49 isn’t fazing you! 

Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone.  I enjoyed my day   Even though I did turn 49! lol

I was mildly sore for a day after the first shot, and quite a bit more tender for three days after the second shot, along with being really tired for two days. But I would do it again, honestly, because what I feel now is relief. 

Happy birthday to you.

Alrighty then… Iceland is 103.000 km2  total     And we’re definitely not doing that well  Population is somewhere around the 350 000 mark now, I think. But I hope you guys keep doing that well, and that we’ll catch up eventually  

The health district that we live in is called the Hunter New England health district, which is nearly 132,000 square kilometres in size, just to give you an idea, and we haven’t had a single case of Covid for 251 days, so we’ve been living life pretty normally for quite a while now.  And here’s hoping that continues!

Yes, the government up here has also decided to not use the AstraZeneca vaccine for the under 50 crowd, because of those blood clot cases. But as far as I know they’re pretty much on schedule with the vaccine plans, so my parents (mum has underlying conditions, and dad’s turning 69 this year) should be up this month, and then hopefully I’ll be getting mine near the end of the month, start of May. And we’ve got decent control of the pandemic up here as well, although we had a fourth wave pick up just around Christmas, which is thankfully back under control. 
Let’s hope you guys stay on track with keeping Covid under control (knock on wood) and that you’ll get the jab soon. And I can only imagine how much stress it lifts for you that your mum is getting her jabs, and therefore getting some level of protection  

Well being mum’s fulltime carer meant I could have had mine now, but there’s been a hiccup in the system.  AstraZeneca – the one she got, and by far the most common one we have here – has now been not recommended for those under 50 because of an extremely unlikely chance of getting blood clots.  So that’s kind of derailed things a bit, which means I’m not sure when I’ll be getting mine now.  Likely depends on when we can get a shed load of Pfizer shots, and when.  But as I said, Covid is totally under control here (touch wood!) so it’s not like things are desperate.  As soon as I’m eligible, I’ll be getting mine. 

That’s awesome. Congrats to mum for getting her first jab. Hope you don’t have to wait very long for yours, Melrick.   

I’m very glad to hear this! Now, when are you getting your jab?

lol I read about the spiders.  I’m not bothered by spiders, so that doesn’t worry me.  Well, as long as the deadly ones stay outside.
Today was a day of sunshine!  Actually sunshine!  Man that feels good.  Some areas got 1 metre of rain in a 7 day period, which is about 3.3 feet.
