Pleased to read that !

A few more hours (just under the full day) and I will have served the three weeks from my first vaccination, but I will still be observing the precautions of Hands : Face : Space, but with a lesser degree of paranoia than before ...

As yet, I don't think enough have been vaccinated here, to risk widely re-opening society & the economy.

I had my first jab at the end of January and don't expect the second one until the end of April. We still keep to the hands Face Space rules, but feel a bit more confident. We are not in any 'bubbles'.

I am happy to read, Amelia, that you are still safe and healthy. I have been in self-isolation for a year now, as much as it has always been possible. Except for doctor's visits and short walks, I have practically not left the property. My son does the shopping for us and brings it (contactless) into the house. Unfortunately, the number of infections in Germany goes up and down again and again. Every experiment with the openings is punished by the virus a short time later with higher infection rates. Unfortunately, we are not making as much progress with vaccinations as we had hoped and I will have to wait at least another month or two until it's my turn. All the best for you !

Good to read something positive, anything positive is most welcome.

The news from Europe is not good...........especially from Italy. There's talk of a third wave of the pandemic!

We've had our first vaccinations........and the second ones are due on the 11th May. We do feel a little safer, but are still not taking any chances.

Stay safe Amelia.

No light at the end of this tunnel, I'm afraid.
They're already planning the next one.
