How are we getting through it?

Wow, that's phenomenal! 

Good work, good luck, and good grief *ouch* on the finger 

[mmcv]

Very impressed! That's quite the build, Frigg will be most pleased with your blood sacrifice. Congrats to you and your wife to be.

[Orcs]

Thats a very nice looking house Noktu.  Wel done for building it yourself.

Personally I think it deserved the blood sacrifice. As you can no longer sacrifice Thralls or virgins  legally. It was the best you could do

Congratulations and best wishes for the future to you and your good lady

So we started building a house this year with my soon to be wife Alexandra ( 12th day this month ).

Been building for 6 months now and we are starting the move next week. Will be a big difference from 50m2 to 122m2. Me and my Father, a Formworker and a Carpenter built everything by ourselves except the Electricity and Plumbing, also digging was done by a neighbour.

Very nice work, that looks great!  Having spent the past 6 months doing various renovation works here, the idea of building a full house scares the life out of me!

Sorry to hear about the finger though, were they able to re-attach it?

[Noktu]

Thanks guys! I'll make a post with more pictures to follow if you are interested how it turned out. All the outside work, planting and doing the yard we'll have to do next year as the winter is nearing us. ( I'll also post a picture of my hand to serve as a warning )

Yeah I wont be building another house for a good while, there's a reason why I'm a formworker and not a housebuilder!

And the finger was a clean cut with a handheld circular saw, surgeon said it will be better without re-attaching it as all the nerves and veins were cut off. My father had the same thing happen to him some years back, but he had such a powerless and dull makita saw that he had a piece left holding the parts together, and then they were able to attach it back. But it came with the finger being rather numb.

One of the reasons why Von has forbidden me to use our chop saw !!

Get (or make!) one of those prosthetic fingers with a little storage compartment in it. Could keep an emergency tictac in there, or a small roll of string, or a very small pencil, or just some fake blood to freak people out with....

Well I got my booster jab yesterday at a walk in centre (Bath Reacecourse). Luckily I was at the 6 month point to the day quite by chance, as the centre was not allowing in those who had had it 5 months ago, despite the government saying that was OK from yesterday. A lot of confused people for sure. Glad to have had it done, although it did leave me feeling very tired for 24 hours and a bit flu like. Feel pretty good now though.

[Orcs]

Mrs Orcs and I have our Booster tomorrow. I have not had side effects to either of the first two. (Mrs Orcs says " No feeling, no Sense") Very rude I thought.   

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Hope it goes okay

[Techno II]

Same from me, Mark !

Von and I had our flu jabs yesterday afternoon..still waiting to get our 'invitations' for the booster.

Cheers - Phil.

[Steve J]

If you are over 50 and had your jabs 6 months ago or more (or 5 if the government info is right/being applied) then you can bookonline Phil, or it is even quicker to find your nearest walk in centre. I did the latter a quite a few people in the queue had done the same as it turned out to be about two weeks earlier than booking an appointment.

Got both mine at same time couple of weeks ago. No probs.

[jimduncanuk]

Just got our booster appointments.

This coming Monday, 10 past 6 about 20 miles away to the other side of town using the busiest road this side of the country catching the tail end of the rush hour.

That'll be fun!

[d_Guy]

I was boosted two weeks ago - unlike my 2nd shot which provided a nasty 48hrs, the booster gave on a slightly sore arm. The wife gets boosted tomorrow. She had a similar reaction to her second so we decided to not get boosters on same day.

I don't think we can do that in Wales, Steve.
Von asked the nurse, Jen, who gave us our flu jabs what the score was....As far as she could tell, we'll get an invite by post sometime (soon ?)

Cheers - Phil.

Have just had Flu jab at local GPs. 12/11/21. I mentioned that Covid Booster would be due soon... and they booked me in for the 25th!
Previous jabs... had to wait for letter/email, book and go to town vac center... mucho pleased! 

Ma was due Booster and Flu jabs 3 weeks ago, but, her near total loss of Mobility meant flagging up District Nurse for home visit. Heard nothing since but imagine VERY busy. 

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Had both of mine on a Saturday. Booked or rather re-booked flu jab for a Saturday, was rung mid-week to ask if wanted both at same time. Anecdotally then seems to vary surgery by surgery

[Orcs]

Well Mrs Orcs had aching and flue symptoms for about 24 hours.  I had a slightly sore arm for a few hours.

Flue Jabs done, Hope to get my Pneumonia one when I have a Diabetes check next month
