The View from the Queue


Waiting for my turn at the post office... could be worse.

Sundays market was slight and grey. Bah.

Captain H was suddenly ill over the weekend and we saw the docs last night. He's on the mend - they upped the meds.- scary though.

Overheard an interesting conversation at the health centre. One doctor was being asked if he'd arrange to do the anti-covid vaccination between particular hours for the Muslim community, who are fasting during Ramadan. Apparently if you are fasting you don't want to take into your body the contents of the vaccination.  This led to a debate about the medicinal needs of Muslim diabetics, who it seems will continue vaccinating as usual. Guessing this is about what the vaccine consists of - or perhaps medicine is excluded during fasting, as it is with the Catholics. Anyway, it was agreed that our doctor would do out-of-hours shots. Nice.
