To say that France's rollout of the vaccine is pathetic is an understatement. Over 75s are eligible to get the vaccine but there are no appointments available. 50 to 65s can get the Astra Zenica one, again if there are slots available. Next in line will be 66 to 74 year old but only if you have a serious health condition and after that will be that age who are comparatively healthy. By the time that happens I imagine the world will have herd immunity and we needn't bother. Macron has been lecturing other countries about sending 5% of vaccines to Africa. 5% of what? As the French can't get their hands on it the Africans don't stand a chance.
I paid the plumber by cheque in October but it appears to be lost in the post as it has never been cashed and the plumber quite rightly wants his money. I asked the bank to cancel the cheque 2 weeks ago, and what a palaver that has turned out to be. I have received a formal threatening letter from the bank saying that if I am lying or trying to defraud the bank I shall be fined, or even jailed. It is my money! That has been followed by a reluctant agreement to cancel the cheque but only if the plumber in question sends a withdrawal letter. What is a withdrawal letter? I just want to cancel the cheque. I am tempted to seek the plumber out and pay him with cash.
I played tennis on Saturday for the first time in 7 months and of course I was rubbish. It didn't help that the wind was so strong I could hardly stand up but no excuses. It was good though, to be out running around even if that was all I was doing. You are supposed to hit the ball sometimes.
