It's Getting Real...

Yesterday I headed off to the Travel Clinic at my GP's surgery to embark on my programme of vaccinations.  Not being a huge fan of needles, having four stabs was a little unnerving, but nurse Tina was gentleness personified (thanks Tina), and I've had no discomfort at all. Back next week for stage 2!

I've also just loaded up the credit card online with various items which will hopefully allow me to (a) repel insects; (b) deal with being bitten by insects; (c) handle minor surgical procedures; and (d) recover from any erm.... gastric upsets!
