the Walnut Diary

Things got lively over the morning e-news articles today.  The Globe said that Ontario is now booking 1951 models, so a brief scramble got me onto the Ministry of Health site where I had checked my Covid test results, and wouldn’t you know it?  Brockville site let me into the inner workings of its algorithm to blunder around until it eventually gave up and assigned me appointments for a jab on April 16th and August 3rd. 

My wife tried, but was rejected as a 1953 model. I don’t think she minded getting carded all that much.

I had no sooner finished when my neighbour told me about the same block of appointments.  His is a day or two earlier than mine.  My sister and my pal Les were too late by the time they got to the website this morning, though my neighbour just told me that 48 spaces were available at Loyalist College in Belleville.  His neighbour found one there. 

Les tried, but they were gone by the time he got through.

This is like shopping for concert tickets.
