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?

I was heartened this morning to read about various small Scottish islands where the entire adult populations have been vaccinated, including Fair Isle. It does seem like we are getting there.

Well done for going swimming during the day!

I do still feel a bit guilty about it. As I do about every time I stand up to look out of the window, or look at my phone, or have a conversation with T about what we should have for dinner. Apparently I have transferred all the control-freaky people-won't-work-if-they're-at-home attitudes that I definitely don't have in relation to my staff to myself...
