So I can now go into Glasgow city centre, go, 'Huh, everything's still closed' and come straight back home. I plan to do so tomorrow, and am slightly concerned that this might be too much excitement for me.
-I got my second vaccine dose - woot! - and this time did feel like I'd been gone over with a length of rubber hose afterwards. Nothing that couldn't be sorted with a couple of pain killers and a good night's sleep, and also, the side effects could have been twenty times worse and the vaccine have to be injected directly into my eyeball and I still would have been there with a smile on my face going: 'yes, please stick me with the magic lifesaving juice that will prevent me from inadvertently killing my fellow humans, thank you.'
-Foster dog update: Charlier's owner called me on Tuesday to say that he was feeling much better and hoped to be able to take Charlie home this week. Charlie's owner's partner called me on Wednesday, to all appearances unaware of the previous conversation, to say that the owner is still really bad, may have to go back into hospital, and could I maybe keep Charlie for a few more weeks. I don't think this is a domestic situation I want to be involved in, so I'm just going to assume that someone, at some point, will appear to reclaim the dog, and if they don't, sweet, free dog.
