@7NewsPerth @AstraZeneca Breaking News..... 77 million shots administered in the UK and less than 60 adverse reactions..... 128,000 deaths from Covid. We haven't done much right during this pandemic but we have proved the vaccine works. Rising cases but hospitalisation still low.

@stephenmathersm @perthnow 77 million vaccines administered in the UK & less than 50 reported cases of blood clots last time I looked. It's an easier decision here - we all know someone who has been really sick, lost loved ones or has long Covid. You don't have that context so media message so important

It’s broken isn’t it ? We’ve broken what we do with food . Pears grow in the U.K. They could grow in our gardens . We could walk out and pick them , wipe them and eat them . No chemicals , no processing , no plastic , no planes , no sell by dates . Just fresh fruit . God help us

@Leytonrocks @SamanthaHorley I didn't either, but do live in an area where you can only get a mobile signal if you hang out the bedroom window. Looks like that isn't such a bad thing after all.

@suebeesley @The_RHS Shocked to find out many kids/parents just log a negative test but don't actually bother testing for school..... so sure many attendees will do the same. Waste of time and all that plastic in landfill.... and the cost of the test lots....????

@wildfullmoon @higgledygarden It is and I totally understand not risking it. I think it was worse for my husband than me. He drove me as I have a history of strange allergies.... just got back to the car as the world went fuzzy.... 💉 poor man 💖

[Sue Gilmour @purechocolate]

@wildfullmoon @higgledygarden I had an allergic reaction to the 1st. Had 2 nurses with me for the 2nd, and was observed for 20 mins. Was expecting the worst but was fine.

[Sue Gilmour @purechocolate]

@higgledygarden No, just a little tired.

@mattteale @ITVCentral Get them growing their own.

@ford_davidf @perthnow @AlboMP @KKeneally @GregHuntMP @ScottMorrisonMP @MarkMcGowanMP Don't understand the rush for Pfizer for those over 40... https://t.co/H26pEWH8u9 everybody I know has been jabbed with AZ....

@rafredarrows @midlandsairfest @RoyalAirForce Loved watching you fly over the Herefordshire border today. Feels like a little bit of real life has returned.

@Nigella_Lawson W and all the parents I know at school test twice a week. Shocking comment from a friend "nobody bothers, just report a negative test'. So glad our small rural school has much greater sense of community and responsibility.

Word of the day is ‘spuddle’ (17th century): to work ineffectively; to be extremely busy whilst achieving absolutely nothing.

@BeepBopBlah @BreLaurie @perthnow Mostly AZ and Pfizer but the younger age groups are also getting Moderna now. A good friend was on the J&J trial..... but that one isn't in use as far as I know.

[Sue Gilmour @purechocolate]

@BreLaurie @BeepBopBlah @perthnow 36+ million vaccinated in the UK and 41 blood clots reported last time I checked. Easy decision here when there is so much virus in the community.

@TheJSheppard It is a magic ingredient - how can part of the holy trinity be food of the devil? Oh, and braised in with your roast is just delicious.

@Concraigsmith I think ours has been repurposed as a mole farm.

[Sue Gilmour @purechocolate]

@KirstieMAllsopp @C4Locations I thought I was the only one who thought this. It is everywhere.

[Sue Gilmour @purechocolate]

@Nigella_Lawson @lickedspoon We have it in Herefordshire!!

@SamanthaHorley A good friend has spent a decade dealing with more than I think I could bare. She cared very much, was outspoken... but ditching her TV, not seeking out news and not 'caring' anymore has resulted in her being happier and finally content. Sometimes people just run out of energy.
