Oh, actually, just browsing to kill time while watching the open browser window at the side refresh on the NHS booking site hoping it will work long enough to give me a booster jab appointment. It alternates between "you are in a queue ten minutes to go" and "our site is overloaded please try later" for about two hours now. Everyone else between the ages of 18-50 in the UK is basically doing the same thing, hammering the site. Its not quite as life and death exciting as I make it sound....



Ah, I thought you were working on the NHS IT systems!

> Over 110,000 people booked their COVID-19 booster vaccine before 9am this morning.

I don't know if this is a huge amount of traffic, or just an unexpectedly large bump.

Good luck getting a booking!
