Re: Coronavirus pandemic
Perhaps different states in Australia have different rules about how soon you can get your 2nd vaccination as I see Wee Boney is getting his sooner in Queensland.

Re: Coronavirus pandemic
I got my first jab on Thursday. Moderna (American). Apart from some pain in the arm the next day I've had no symptoms. Next jab end of May. Then I get a green passport so hopefully can start to travel again. Don’t you have to wait 12 weeks between first and second jab. I had my first on 10th April ...

Re: Ardrossan - On This Day In History
I went to school with a Grandson of Provost Beggs. His name was Douglas Beggs, he had a brother Jim and sister Elizabeth. At least I think that was their names.

Re: Coronavirus pandemic
Bob and I got our first Covid jag on Sat. So far so good. I was feeling cold on Sat night but that may have been because of a drop in temp in Victoria. 30 degrees on Thursday and snow in the Alps on Sunday.
Second jag end of June . Will get flu vaccine in Two weeks.

Re: The Anderson Family - Ardrossan - WWI
I wondered if there was a connection to Puffer. He lived up Winton street at the school end. Remember he had a very big rocking horse in the front room.
Looking at Google maps no 25 is where Puffer lived.
Should not Google things late at night. It was 26 where I visited Puffer with my Dad.
