Things are looking up…

“When things are looking up, there’s no point in looking elsewhere”

Agatha Swanburne

Here in British Columbia there are now definite – if still quite fragile – signs that things are beginning to return to some sort of normality.

Progress in this direction is being pursued with a high degree of caution and restraint, though we are of course as vulnerable as are most nations to the antics of the usual idiots. We do, however, eschew the sort of hyperbole that some must endure. Not for us the “World beating” – or “Irreversible” – or “Sure and certain knowledge”… I’m ‘sure and certain’ that you catch my drift…

This very day The Girl trotted down to the Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney to get her second COVID vaccination – the which was booked about three weeks ago.

I was beginning to wonder (for no good reason other than my impatience!) if I had somehow dropped off the list when I finally received the email inviting me to book a date for my second jab. I jumped at the chance and have an appointment in only ten days time.

”Result!” – as the ‘yoof’ were wont to say some decades ago…

So much are our spirits raised by these developments that we are now seriously contemplating re-entering the outside world by booking ourselves a mini-break during the summer – though we will not be leaving the province anytime soon.

More information – you may be sure – as it becomes available.

    Yes indeed Andy, things are looking up. I will receive my second jab on July 8 – a step closer to getting back to some form of normality. Thanks for the link to those wonderful people who restored your beloved watch. I recently came across my Granddad’s pocket watch which I inherited many years ago and was thinking about having it professionally serviced. Well timed Andy! (Pun intended.)
    Cheers. Billy

    Thanks Billy. Roll on us all being able to gather together again without restrictions.

    Very glad that the info concerning Francis Jewellers might come in handy. It is always rather satisfying when some snippet of information that surfaces on the blog turns out to be of use to someone.

    Cheers

    Andy
