getting vaccinated

I rode my bicycle to the Vaccination Centre.

I was a bit out of practice, but I hardly fell off at all.

The Vaccination Centre was very well organised.

A helpful rabbit outside showed me exactly where to park my bicycle, and then a green bear asked me to sanitise my paws, and a mouse took my details, and from there I just had to follow the arrows until I arrived at the actual vaccination point.

I took off my reflective cycling jacket. But then I was a little embarrassed, because my jersey is quite tight, and I couldn’t roll the sleeve up far enough.

Of course when I got home, I was tired after all that bicycling.

And then I began to feel a bit cold and shaky.

Luckily my kind cousin Peter has sent me a beautiful knitted thing. He says it’s a scawl or sharf. It’s very cosy.

I wrapped myself up in it, and then I had to find a way of keeping the Baby occupied, that wouldn’t need much energy on my part.

I’ve noticed that the Baby is very interested in numbers.

When young Didcot saw my slate a few years ago, he thought it was from my own school days.

But it does come in handy, since I don’t have a blackboard.

I don’t seem to have my Ludo board any more, but this game is just as good for us.

I throw the dice, and the Baby jumps the right number of jumps along the line.

It seems happy to do it over and over again.

Now it’s learnt how to roll the dice for itself.

I went to check that the paint had dried on the birthday card that I was making for Dorset Monkey.

Oh. I wonder who did that?

Bright and cheerful. A splash of yellow is always nice.

I expect Dorset Monkey will like it.

It’s still a bit sticky. I’d better put the paints away before anyone has any more creative ideas.

And then I think I’ll lie down.

I’ll soon be 59% to 86% less likely to be hospitalised if I catch the Virus.

RING RING! RING RING!

Oh, there’s the telephone. That’s the trouble with sleeping in the daytime.

I feel quite woozy now. Poor nurses. I’d better concentrate on recovering so that they don’t have me to look after as well as everyone else.

Yes, Baby, that’s six. Go and jump!
