Rare ollienbertsmum Posted June 9, 2021 #18977 Share Posted June 9, 2021 So I have been away for a while, since last month. As Gibraltar became a green country for the UK I booked a flight. Working out the pre and post flight covid tests was a bit stressful but it all worked out well. I had not seen my 92 yr old parents since Feb 2020. When I said I was visiting my sister and her partner did an overnight and we had a nice time in the garden and went out for an evening meal. I actually have to say that the train journey to my parents’ house was stressful. I went through Birmingham New Street - OMG how many people on the train without facemasks. The lift from the station was full!! When I arrived I was like “don’t touch me, I need a shower and made sure everything I was wearing went in the washer. It all worked out well. The weather was lovely all week too. We managed to do lots of work on the garden which has been my mother’s pride and joy. She will not do as she is told and get a gardner, but at least we have made things fit for early summer. I bought her a load of new shrubs for her birthday and we got them planted. Of course the weeds will come back, but at least it will keep things down for a while. Bit of a drama coming back when the plane was not working. We ended up having a night in Birmingham airport. I had to tell my boss not to expect me for a further 24 hours. Fortunately we have been together since 1983 so we accept the occasional ‘life has got in the way’ occasions. Eastern Airways looked after us too. We got checked into the Novotel with a good supper and breakfast. Everything was done with a smile and of course the airport was quiet so no queues at checkin or passport control when we came back in the morning. The extra covid tests and passenger locator forms are stressful, what if you get a positive??? I love that people are wanting to visit Gibraltar, but to be honest I don’t think a holiday that requires a flight is worth it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to your reports. We might just need to continue this happy thread with new title.... "Routine day OUT of Lockdown". 😉 Or "Back to cruising life style again". Bucky and I are no longer in lockdown...but we sure are not back to the cruising life style yet...sigh. 😞 Edited June 9, 2021 by island lady 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I wore jeans and a fleece jacket to get my shot LOL. We sat in our car during a drive in event...but Bucky had on a long sleeve t-shirt that he could not pull the neckline over enough, or get the sleeves up high enough. He ended up having to take off his shirt...much to the cheers and appreciation from the lady techs. 😄 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping she continues to go side effect free. 🙂 Me, I had a very sore arm and slight headache, but not until the day after. Though was not bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep reading that UK has trouble getting back on track, what with the Indian version spreading like fire, and my fingers are crossed that the rate of vaccinations will speed up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mo&fran Posted June 9, 2021 #18992 Share Posted June 9, 2021 WE had Sprint for our service. Of course , they merged with T-Mobil. WE recently had to put a new sim card in our phones, Occasionally , when I call comes in, it displays the message SCAM LIKELY. We still have a Connecticut area code on our phones, so we get a lot of calls from that area code. I ignore them. Sometimes they even use the same exchange. If anyone really wants to talk, they will leave a message. I do answer calls from our local area code, especially if I suspect they are for real. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauline had her second Astrazeneca vaccine jab this morning then we went for lunch at a nearby restaurant. My husband just got his this morning- we had AZ for the first dose, and Pfizer for the second. I should be getting my second dose within a week or two. On a completely different topic- my daughter’s German Shepherd has delivered 5 puppies so far! The ultrasound showed 8 or 9 puppies, so she’s not done yet. My daughter is also pregnant, but she’s only having one! 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be an inside joke by Robin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
