November 2019...

Watched more Rugby.

Attended the village's War Memorial on 11/11 with CJR as we always do, to pay our respects to The Fallen.

Transit of Mercury 11/11 - started at 12:35 - crap weather, so I couldn't observe it. I'll try to hang around for the next one... in 2032.

Several clinics. Skin GvHD is now Grade 2... most hard-earned body-hair lost again... steroid pills augmented with steroid cream and skin-rehydrating lotions, creams and bath oils. I'm now a fully-signed-up soap-dodger!

14/11: Went to GP to make an appointment for the flu jab and for childhood vaccinations, they denied having received a schedule/prescription from LRI. 15/11: Phoned Hambleton, was told that the vaccinations schedule/prescription had been raised and sent.

21/11: Went to GP to make an appointment for the flu jab and for childhood vaccinations, they denied having received a schedule/prescription from LRI. 22/11: Phoned Hambleton, was told that the vaccinations schedule/prescription had been raised and sent.

28/11: Went to GP to make an appointment for the flu jab and for childhood vaccinations, again they denied having received a schedule/prescription from LRI. 29/11: Phoned Hambleton 3 times, turned out that the vaccinations schedule/prescription had NOT been raised and sent even though the jabs were due to start around November 1st and I'd been reminding them about it since September so that I could get the appointments booked before the jabs were due. Turns out that my lack of confidence in the process hadn't been misplaced after all. Fruity invective was applied - I suspect that it didn't make me any less vulnerable to Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Polio, Hib, Hep b, Pneumococcal, Men A, Men B, Men C, Men W, Men Y and seasonal flu, but it made me feel better and no needles were involved.

Black Friday Deals... I'll cover that subject in the December 2019 catch-up post. Stay tuned.
