Love and Monsters

I watched this film after a morning vaccinating.  It was a long morning and due to NHS England sending more vaccines than the area normally has staff for, it was a busy one.  Normally, I would be mixing, but the day started earlier and ended later.  So I asked if I could vaccinate instead which meant that I did not have to get in as early.  With more people vaccinating, the person mixing the vials has to work faster than normal.  When I did this in December, we were vaccinating the elderly and it was cold, which meant that people would come in wearing several layers of clothes and mobility issues were often present.  Now the patients are younger, and while the weather is still chilly, it is not as bad as before.  The patients move quicker and expose their arms faster than before.  It takes me about five minutes to prepare each vial and if I have the energy not to take a break, I can keep up with this, but I often work late on a Tuesday night.  And last night was no exception.  

Getting home, my son was at home has he had a stomach upset the day before and he spent time looking after Leia.  When my daughter got home, she went to revising for her exam on Friday.  When Leia did see her, after I had taken her out for an evening walk (I needed the exercise), she was overjoyed to see her.

As noted, I relaxed by watching Love and Monsters.  It was an enjoyable film.  When it comes to the test of price, I would not have been disappointed if I had paid to watch this at the cinema.  In fact, it would probably be best to watch this on the big screen, after all, as the title implies, there are monsters in it.  Watching an end-of-the-world film that has nothing to do with COVID was fun as well.  

Of course, Leia would be a better companion than Boy, but I will never get to know how she would fare in combat against a giant crab.
