We’re Done ……. Fully Facilitated

Yesterday morning, on the stroke of noon,  was a truly blessed in a Hello Magazine Special Addition type way moment ….. we’d had “The Call” and found ourselves walking down  to the Riverside Medical Centre to receive our Covid injection Part Deux.

We’ve now all been wonderfully tazered Pfizered and are completely facilitated vaccinated. It was emotional, very emotional.

Nigel went in first  …….. his sleeve rolled up and left arm eagerly proffered, he wasn’t too worried, he said, if he felt a little prick or a big prick, just so long as he got done.

He took it, he said, like a man …………

Sadly, there were no “I’ve been a brave boy” stickers, but the nurse told Nigel that he had been her most favourite patient by far that day as he’d made her laugh out loud, after he’d joked that if he was in for a big prick, could he possibly have  one of her spare cotton wool balls to bite on to muffle any noise he might inadvertently make and then asked if he’d need a sling ……. something he’s always had a long felt want for.

What is he like? I have to admit that Darrell and I did wonder what all the raucous laughter was coming from the other end of the corridor when Nigel came to join us in the 15 minute waiting room afterwards.

So, as I said, we’re all done ………hopefully it’s onwards and upwards from here on in ………. happy days!

Congratulations! Great news. Hopefully, you will be able to get out and about, with gay abandon, including some Sun holidays, too.

Don't boast about being vaccinated, or someone may call you "vaxholes."

Allegedly, people who refuse to wear a mask, are known as "maskholes."
