Some good news (103/365)

The Guardian's COVID liveblog* yesterday reported that vaccinations were going to be opening up to the over-40s, and this morning I saw that the website has extended booking to over-45s. I haven't actually booked mine yet, because when I looked the closest was Banbury, and when I thought that actually, maybe Banbury was OK and went back it only had Northampton or Milton Keynes, but it seems like a positive sign anyway.

I also bunked off for two hours this afternoon for a lovely swim in the river; the sky was blue, and the air temperature was about 14, which is ridiculous given that it snowed yesterday, but there you are.

Because I felt guilty about bunking off, I decided I'd set up a spreadsheet to track my hours and reassure myself I'm not slacking. It appears that even with bunking off for two hours I worked 8 hours and 22 minutes today (I did start early, to compensate for taking time in the afternoon), so I'm probably not slacking really...

*Is there anything the Guardian won't liveblog?

You would have been lucky to get through the booking system this morning. I tried and failed, a couple of times at the final confirmation, but then it seemed to have corrupted my database record and I was stuck on a 404 page all afternoon. Having resorted to calling the helpline (which was, to be fair, helpful) a fault ticket has been filed and I have to wait for 3 days before trying again.

Yes, the first time I looked (about 7:30) it was OK but it fell over shortly after that.
