Underground in London

Thursday 11th February 2021

Good evening everyone,

I hope your Thursday is going well – what a change in the weather, blue skies and sunshine, after all the snow we had! Yesterday I went for my vaccination. I was offered an appointment out of the blue, and snapped it up.

The venue was the Lords Cricket Ground. It was an eerie experience traveling on the Central Line to Marble Arch, there was no one around and I was on my own, in once, one of the busiest places in London – very surreal.

The vaccination went like clockwork and I was in and out in twenty minutes, and other than a slightly painful left shoulder and a headache this morning – I am fine!

WHAT CAN I SHARE WITH YOU TODAY?
