What a privilege. Even though it’s 14 degrees, bucketing with rain and blowing a gale, after 15 months of social isolation this is luxury. Socially distanced opera at Holland Park. Verdi ‘s La Traviata. Performances are magnificent. @operahollandpark

Second dose in One small prick for mankind... One giant prick for man And, apart from 1 day’s discomfort at the injection site, no adverse effects. @RoyalFreeNHS

I can report that the painful injection site lasted about 36 hours. I’m now completely well. Feeling virtuous but no sign yet of extra hair or tail #COVID19 #covid19vaccinations #CovidUK
