Apparently the NHS website crashed on Tuesday as people of around the same age as me logged on to book their vaccines.
I typed in my NHS number, hit the choose location button and waited for the lottery to begin.
First up on Tuesday morning I was offered a jab in Harleston, that s 16 miles away.
I came back 10 minutes later and was offered Downham Market Town Hall - 39.5 miles away.
Suddenly a 30-odd mile round trip didn t seem so bad.
The next best option was Newmarket. I also had Colchester and Ingoldmells, which is near Butlins just outside Skegness, 101 miles from my house.
