I had my Covid jab on Wednesday and the flu is booked for the 23rd. I got email invitations for both. The Flu is at my doctor’s surgery while the Covid was at a pharmacy just up the road. I could have had them both at the same time - but elected to have them spread apart. I get 2 Covid jabs per year. I had one back in march.

2 covid jabs a year? I'm amazed your still alive. The mind boggles

Spring and autumn. Obviously I don’t buy these nonsensical conspiracy theories about vaccinations. Hence I’m still fully alive and lacking in any paranoia. It’s nothing to worry about at all.

I get an annual vaccination against paranoia.  It seems to work very well. So long as I keep the tin foil lining in my helmet I'm immune to their brain control.

Have my flu and C19 jabs last week, it was fine. Felt a bit fluey on the Friday but it cleared enough for me to drink my bodyweight in beer at the football on the Saturday...prior to presenting at A&E. All totally unrelated!

every Covid jab messes me up for some reason- vary from suffering with bad flu for three days to full on druggy withdrawal symptoms of “the shakes” for a day/night.

Worst now by wife’s condition and I’m a carer so WE’RE meant to have it often….at least I skirt past the flu jab for now.

Bl@@dy raining again.

It's pouring here down south. I got soaked walking the dog. And still have one more to do.

She is old and doesn't like getting up early.

Not working today! Going to Stoke University hospital with Sue instead 

She'll be having major surgery at some point soon.

Yep when i caught it. a few days before my birthday so it was in full swing at that time and almost killed me so that was great fun and quite memorable.

Oof, that doesn't sound pleasant. Hope she gets through it and recovers well!

I've had it a few times, the first being the worst. Was before lockdown, but confirmed later when I took part in an anti-body study (I did some volunteering). The original put me on the sofa for 4 days, wheezing, passing out a couple of times when I tried to stand up, and genuinely the worst I've ever felt. Both times since, barely gave me a fever and a tickly cough. Weird how variable it is.

Good afternoon!

 

Been a weird week so far, feels like it's going slow, but also too fast.

Also, life is a bit of a TV show recently. An old friend got in touch to tell me a girl I dated very briefly years back was, in a word, pulverised by her most recent fella. It kicked up a lot of drama as other people she dated came out in defence of the fella who assaulted her. A real mess of a situation. I think I was only contacted as there's some damage control going on by her friends. Some pointed questions have been aimed at them over few claims that have been made. And these friends know I had a scrape with some of the things they are describing. I don't think there's a right side to the situation if I'm honest...

 

Woman on the ground floor on my flat building faked a heart attack. It's a bizarre mix this situation, as she's antagonising the elderly lady in the flat above by playing her radio at silly hours, then denying she has a radio (I photographed it through her window). I told them both to pack it in as there was a bit of retaliation. The woman on the ground floor clearly has some significant mental health issues, and paranoia is a big part of it. She worked herself up and called the ambulance, claiming to be having a heart attack. But there's reason to believe it was performative, as she's claiming she's being persecuted, and it came a few days after the management company sent her quite a firm letter. Nothing threatening pulling her lease, just that they had found it was her, and urged her to stop before it escalated further.

 

Then the last one, I'm in a race to get DIY done on my flat before I have to go in for an operation. As I won't be able to do much until after Christmas and I'm trying to sell the flat early in the new year. I'm going to be escorted back home by my mum, and my dad will be on standby for a few hours, but has to fly off to Australia to help my sister move from Perth to Sydney by driving her car 3000 miles, all loaded up. If I'm in a bad way, he has to race down and throw me in the car, get me back and then jump on a plane. 

 

Probably too much for it to be an episode of Coronation street, but Hollyoaks, or The Bill... Maybe. 

Good luck with the DIY and the op

 

As for the first bit of that post, there is a wrong side and no matter what the woman is like walk away, violence is not the answer.

I see that in a national poll of motorbike cafes Old Stores came out top. Well deserved. 

[Simon Davey]

I'll look it up, but it's probably on the other side of the country from me... 

 

Edit : Yup, literally the other side of the country...
