    Hopefully not too long.
    The pensions people will go with the medical evidence.
    You could look into claiming ESA.

     I like your chair - I wish I was talented with sewing - I've always been absolutely useless. They kicked me out of the sewing class at school and put me into extra art! I can sew a button on and that's about it!
    I hope it all goes well with the pension people and they come to the right decision.  And that you have a good outcome with the vaccine. 
    Enjoy your walk with your friend tomorrow.

    Thanks Beanie, I’ve just been reading about esa.
    thankyou SG. I’ve done a little bit more of the chair today.
    The vaccination went well yesterday, when I got there the queue was around the block. When dh went he walked straight in. Anyway it moved slowly but it moved. Twas a tad chilly out there waiting. But it was done quickly and other than a slightly sore arm and feeling a bit tired today I’m fine. 
    I went for a lovely walk with my friend this morning  -  I haven’t seen her for a year and we used to see quite a lot of each other. We put the world to rights.

    Your walk sounded just the ticket - must have really cheered you up. 😀
    Glad that the vaccine sounds like the side effects have been ok. Everyone appears to have different experiences with it - bit like the flu jab.

    It really was lovely. Lots of snowdrops and crocus everywhere. We bought a cuppa and had a wonder with some socially distanced rests. We’ve been friends for about 20 years....we worked together at first but then she had major surgery at the same time as me 15 years ago and we dragged each other through with quite a wicked sense of humour that a lot of folk wouldn’t understand but it got us through 😂😂. I volunteer in normal times at a club she started. It sounds as if all our attendees are really missing it.....many have been in isolation since last March. I’ve missed it too.
