22 January: Stop press edition
V Day
It’s V Day at Sunrise. A day of relief, and celebration. Mass vaccination.
As usual, Sunrise got it right. Organised to the minute. Calm and relaxed, just right for us old people.
And, a happy touch, flags and balloons to cheer us - a bright idea. Having a jab is never fun but today it was relished, welcomed with open arms.
The troops were on parade, with our sticks, walking aids, wheelchairs, ready and willing.The long wait was over.

When the call came we went into the temporary surgery, rolled up our sleeves. It was over in a flash. I did not feel a thing. Then into a lounge for a rest and and a glass of orange juice.
To mark the historic day we had our pictures taken and then it was time for lunch.
Happy that a milestone in the long, arduous pandemic road pointed the pathway to safety.
Well done, Sunrise, and the NHS!
Vaccination - a poem by Bob Skinner
A shot in the arm
Will do us no harm
A near magic charm
To beat covid virus
Lift and inspire us
To safety and health
Far better than wealth
An end to the madness
And sadness
Of pandemic bold
Harming young and old
So roll up your sleeve
And believe
Better days lie ahead
A good life instead
Free from sorrow and pain
Our freedom again!
