    I wouldn't mind but one of the Great Tits must have told all his friends about the supply too.  I've never seen so many of the little bugge darlings in one place.
    @punkdoc all of a fluster.

    After what has seemed an interminable wait, hubby has had his first Covid jab today.   :)

    @Liriodendron, good news,  we are still trying to get our 2nd dose booked , but there are no slots.

    We don't need to book here in Ireland, @Allotment Boy - the surgery rings us.  Very civilised... but on the other hand, the vaccination rollout is very slow.  They've only just started on the 75-80 age group, so it'll be a while before I get mine (age 68).

    Unfortunately the slow roll out is standard throughout the EU.

    First little rosebud looks ready to pop - if it survives . Dublin Bay always the first and the last to bloom so I can almost forgive it for being a pillar rose in the wrong place. 
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Proper bluebells in the roadside banks today.   Just gorgeous.

    @Liriodendron, yes we were phoned for our first one,  I have commented before it was obvious they were filling slots,  because we had ours early (me 67 at the time) Now they keep sending automated messages saying book 2nd dose , but the booking site just says no appointments available.

    I think the booking sites are updated at midnight,  if you are awake at that time you might have more luck getting a slot.

    The booking system does seem to have some oddities about it.  When I booked through the NHS site I selected dates and times for both vaccinations.  My brother-in-law was contactedby his surgery but only given a date for the 1st.  He asked about the 2nd and was told they would be in touch to arrange that.  Seems a strange way to go about things as they are creating more work for themselves.
