It was a garden visit as we're not allowed into other people's houses yet, but gardens are now allowed. <br /><br />We're not fully vaccinated, but we've both had one each. My husband had the Oxford/AZ jab and had no reaction whatsoever apart from a sore arm for a week or so. I had the Pfizer and had no reaction at all. I've read that you're more likely to get reaction from a second Pfizer jab and that people over 70 are the most likely not to get any reaction at all. Whether this is backed up by science is anyone's guess. :-)<br /><br />I completely agree with you that the antagonistic character in Miss Benson was superfluous, he really jarred with me. The death devastated me at the end, but the photo was wonderful. <br />Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-21725998678204860162021-04-05T04:42:19.189-04:002021-04-05T04:42:19.189-04:00Late Easter greetings.

Both my daughters-in-law and my son were able to get their first dose this week, and that makes me very happy. We aren't able to get together yet, but it won't be long.<br /><br />And, yes, I thought the characters in Miss Benson's Beetle were delightfully eccentric.
