Photos and Chitchat
I’ve had a dip into my photo collection today to see if there’s anything there with sharing, so it’s a bit of pot luck in the image department today. Meanwhile, what’s going on at our house? Well, Neil has a day off from wandering the island and has started to read my latest story. I need to give it one more read before sending it off to be proofed, and I need to chasse up the cover designer. Also, in breaking news…
We were told that the flying doctors are due to arrive on the island to start administering the vaccinations. I’ve not read this officially as yet, but we’re hoping it’s true. They’re not ‘flying’, of course, there’s nowhere to land a plane here apart from on the sea, but they come by boat. I’ve also heard that some older folk have already had their first jab, which is good news too, and as soon as I know any more, I’ll let you know. The plan is that as long as you’ve registered at the KEP office and given your AMKA and mobile phone number, you simply wait to get a text giving you an appointment time and place. If you’ve not registered, you can ask for advice, and if you don’t have AMKA, then I guess… I don’t know. Also ask for advice.
While all that’s going on… the weather remains warm for the time of year. I can’t believe I’ve only once had to wear my fingerless gloves while working in my office, and I’ve only had to wear a jacket on one occasion too. I was down in Yialos the other day in only a t-shirt and hoodie, which I had to open up on the walk back up, and yet we’ve not had to water the plants for some time either. So, good weather, calm seas, people staying home and (in the main) staying masked when out. I suspect, though, many are rather bored as well, but all seems to be going according to plan with this year’s two major issues: vaccinations for all who want them, and new biometric residency cards for those who need them. Let’s hope I’ve not spoken too soon.
