we're simply too pampered and weak, IMO...people can't spend 1 Thanksgiving or Xmas or Hanukkah or Kwanza away from their families???
not in my country (the US) apparently...at least not what I've seen.

Got vaccinated last night in a hall (in Glasgow) which I'd last been inside in 2003 to see the Stones (twice).

That's very appropriate!

It would be nice to receive the vaccines in Vredenburg Theatre in Utrecht. Great accoustics, when I (we) saw the Stones there in 2003. It would sure bring back great memories . Two to three months patience and who knows?
Meanwhile we continue to LIAGT :

Prayers up for 1 of my best friends. He lives in Bristol, UK & has some serious underlying health issues. In the hospital with COVID-19 now. Zero good in this & am quite concerned.

I'm happy for those who have received their vaccine. Still trying and waiting in Florida, USA. It's an extremely frustrating "system".

Hoping you lifted your eyes to the rafters and whispered ‘Haste ye back’ at that moment!

It was quite spooky actually as it's been converted to a temporary (I hope) COVID hospital with bed space for up to 1,000 patients. Thankfully, it hasn't required to be used for this yet, but the sight of so many bed spaces brings home the sheer numbers involved in tackling this virus.
And yes, it did bring back some memories of that tour; also got great memories of Paris (Bercy), Rotterdam (Ahoy) and London (Astoria and Twickenham). We all managed to get about a bit then!

You're right. I was merely kidding, but like you, wouldn't feel comfortable seeing such a place transferred into a kind of hospital.
Currently in the Netherlands the government and experts are discussing what to do if the "English" mutation of Covid-19 would take over (it's already there!). Again they are not capable of thinking "avoiding is better than dealing with it when trouble has started".
They "study" the actions taking place in the U.K. because of the dreadfully fast spreading mutation. Instead they should anticipate and take action before it's once again too late. Too much "if if if" going on. When will they ever learn?
Anyway, stay healthy!

I have an appointment for my first shot of vaccine tomorrow afternoon. Not in a big venue but in a health centre just round the corner from the Eel Pie Island museum. Nice surprise - I thought my group wasn't due for weeks yet.
4% of the UK population so far have had at least one vaccination - it's a race against the ever increasing numbers of people in hospital, though now we are back in lockdown the number of new infections has started to come down very slightly over the last few days. God knows it needs to.

The "English" mutation moved into Scotland really quickly and is significantly more infectious. It's ravaging parts of Central Scotland and this is evident in not only the daily statistics, but in personal experience. I have had more work colleagues infected since Christmas than in the whole preceding year. It's a horrible development in a horrible virus and we must put our trust in the scientists and take responsibility for keeping ourselves and others safe. There's no point in thinking about timescales just now, I think, we just need to do all we can to control the spread of this virus. If we can do that, then life will start to get better.

Things in Holland are going incredibly slow. 17.000.000 inhabitants, less then 200.000 vaccines available.
