Smorgasbord Blog Magazine – May 30th – June 5th 2021 – 1970s chart hits, PR for authors, short stories, book reviews, Health and Humour

Welcome to the round up of post you might have missed this week on Smorgasbord..

I hope everyone is doing okay.. I know that in the UK there has been an upsurge in cases and that the full June 21st reopening is looking a little uncertain at the moment. Hopefully the vaccination roll out there will help prevent more deaths despite the increased cases and weddings, celebrations and a resuming of as normal a life as possible is in the near future.

I had the Johnson one shot on 27th May and fingers crossed have not suffered any side effects. It was a 100 mile round trip but worth it to get it over in one go and protection after four weeks. We are now waiting for David to get his shot, unfortunately the Johnson jab is in short supply until the end of this month but the Astra Zeneca is still available. Our cases have been going up too and have hovered around the 400/500 mark which is too high for a population of only 5 million. We shall see how we do.

I have managed to get some time in the sun this week and read and listened to music. We might get a little more next week.. fingers crossed.

As always my thanks to William Price King, Debby Gies and Malcolm Allen for their contributions and support this week. The blog would not be the same without them.

Thanks to you as well for visiting, liking, commenting and sharing.. it keeps me motivated.
