However lt looked like the jabs may have taken their toll on Tuesday.Went for a ride in the morning, did a southern loop out to Swallowfield and along the Thames from Sonning. I had an email from Martin Daniels, an old university chum I'd lost touch with so started a but of a dialogue. It turns out he's been living in California since 1982. I've haven't had any side effects from the jabs but where I had the Pfizer jab is a lot more painful than the AstraZeneca ones. A quiet day on Wednesday. Got this weird shot of London from Sally taken from the top of where she works. The building on the right is the walkie talkie.Lovely shots of Madeline giggling on Thursday morning.Went swimming for the first time in ages. I was meant to be going with M but she's just had some skin tags removed and can't go near water. We were supposed to be going up to London to see Sam Lee at the Union Chapel in the evening but decided to cancel due to severe disruption on the trains. Went to the cinema to see Dune instead. Madeline  started reading on Friday.

Drove up to Ian and Fran's in the afternoon. Had a very pleasant evening. Did a walk at Stanage Edge on Saturday. There were a lot of people out there.
