Decided to have a more restful day today after doing so much yesterday. The sun was shining again, trying to tempt me to overdo things again. Covered the garden table in a large piece of plastic so I could put a large plant pot on it, I wanted to give it another coat of cobalt blue paint. The tray liners that my groceries arrive in are ideal for this once I've cut down the sides to open them out. It's good to give them another use. Painted the pot then had some lunch, was hungry early again.
After lunch I went out for the usual walk, I'd thought about going to the beach but didn't feel like a longer walk. Back home, was about to go into the garden again when my friend L phoned. We had a lengthy chat as usual, she asked if I'd had any side effects from the vaccination and was pleased that I had none. It was only then that she told me that the morning after she'd had hers she had a splitting headache and also developed a rash. A rash is one of the side effects listed as uncommon (up to 1 in 100 people). She always has to be different! She'd carefully avoided sharing that information with me until I'd had mine.
Also had a message from my friend A asking how I'd been, when I said I had no side effects she wrongly thought I'd had the Pfizer vaccine. It all seems so random the way people are affected, I was prepared for feeling unwell but of course I was pleased that I wasn't.
Painted another plant pot, a much smaller one, did a little bit of pruning and tidying up in the garden then that was it for the day apart from the usual chores.
Made myself a Sunday dinner from some roast chicken I had in the freezer and several veg, Yorkshire puds. TV in the evening as always.
Don't forget, Tuesday 23rd is the National Day of Reflection to remember those who died during the pandemic. One minute’s silence at midday.
