Big Brown Eyes

 

I received my second covid jab today
This time it was from a gloriously hunky RAF serviceman instead of the cheerful oncology nurse.
His name was Will and he had big brown eyes and a voice to match.
I simpered underneath my mask like a teenage girl.
Will told me that I may have more severe side effects than I did with the first jab, but I wasn’t really listening, 
I just drooled at him from behind my mask

    Perhaps you could pop back to see the Hunky monkey Will to gift him a scotch egg as appreciation-then leave the chasing to him and ponder"will he won't he"x

    Sounds like a fun way to spend a few moments getting jabbed. Hope you dream of those big brown eyes tonight, and I hope they don't fail your expectations!
    PS Glad you've had jab#2. xx

    Is drooling now a recognised side effect of exposure to Will then? (although perhaps he prefers to be called Willie). One of the few side effects I would not suffer from.

    Thanks for the warning about more side effects...

    Oh the memories of school clinic vaccinations, lining up in one long snake of young humanity for the not so careful and tender mercies of the injecting nurses.

      I remember lining up on a Sunday with my parents as our community got the liquid polio vaccine (on sugar cubes) in the early 1960s. The conversations among the parents reflected their clear memories of the fright of polio in the 1950s.
      Thank God for researchers!

      I remember queuing for the polio jab in the 1950s and it was a Sunday morning, I can still see the street, and the queue and remember the weather - it was cold and grey. We were given an injection. The end of the queue was not visible, everyone was quiet and nobody complained.

      I can remember queuing for a jab in primary school
      The corridor was very grey and cold and there was few coats on the hooks on the wall

      We were given a sugar cube with something on it to prevent a ghastly disease, at school, (I had thought polio), but at the same time, an injection for something. There were no families, though (in the 60's)...the air of terror was real enough!

    Ah, be still my heart! It's always good to enjoy the scenery!!
    We've been without computer/land line services for 36 hours due to a dead "service box" and its battery backup. The tech. has just been and fixed it (as is obvious!) so now our obsolete service and dead battery have been replaced with a new service box and new battery. Will go see what I've missed. :)

      What's a service box Barbara? Maybe what we call a router? (I know that I am inviting the reply "what's a router?")

      Delete
    3. Barbara Anne12:52 am

      Nope, the router is in the house and we purchased it. The router takes the translated signal and distributes it to the machines that use it (TV, computer).
      The "service box" is a terminal belonging to the cable company that translates the raw fiberoptic signal for the router to send through the house.
      So says DH who understands these things.

      He was stroking my arm to get me relaxed and I was saying that I hadn't had my arm stroked like that in a long time and he could carry on and then before I knew it I had had the jab and I hadn't noticed. Lots of laughter and then it was all over. But he was lovely.

    Hello John, we live near a major vaccination hub in Sydney, they have been going in a goodly manner for a few days. I told my sister in the British Midlands that our nurses & first responders were getting goodie bags so she told me I had to find out what was in them because that's not happening in her neck ofthe woods:-) The nurse I asked was so typically Aussie, she showed me (a small bottle of water, crackers & 2 snack bars) & then remarked:" They'll probably run out of them soon"
    Had to laugh!

    I always cried when having a jab when I was a kid, I hated needles, still do. I was always dragged to the front to have mine first so I didn't upset everyone else... I expect nothing has changed. I will be hiding until it is totally necessary for me.

    I get my second Pfizer shot on Tuesday morning. I remember getting the pink sugar cube polio vaccine. I’ve also had shots for smallpox, the childhood illnesses, countless tetanus shots, hepatitis A and B, etc. I’ve never minded shots and will take almost any vaccine. I don’t understand the anti-vaxers.
