How are we getting through it?

[DecemDave]

Yippee!!     Hermes just delivered two pendraken army packs plus 17 packs of what should be in a "proper" army pack!    Which answers another thread for next year's plans. 

Leon's team performed production miracles while simultaneously fixing the roof and having a cheese and wine business meeting.  Then it seems Hermes took 4 days to get it from Middlesbrough to Warrington, 1 more to Rugby and another to down here. hey ho.

Best wishes to the covid afflicted. Our neighbour has tested positive so he had to cancel his Christmas travel plans. But he is a teacher and thus highly exposed to the Mark one germ warfare mini-warriors.

Our daughter had a rough night with hot and cold sweats too, but after about 24 hours was OK.

Did she get the Moderna jab?  Me and Adele both had Moderna and had similar reactions, whereas the Pfizer doesn't seem to hit as hard.

Excellent, always good to hear! I'll leave the wine and cheese though, I'm more a fizzy pop and a choccy biscuit kinda guy.

Yep, the Moderna jab Leon. Apparently now they are reserving the Pfizer jab for younger people, or so my wife was told when she had her jab. She too was a bit off for 24 hours, but not as bad as our daughter.

That's interesting, I'll have to ask my eldest which he gets when his turn comes around.  I had Pfizer for Jab 1 and Jab 2 and was fine after both, maybe a little more tired than normal for a day, but nothing major.  The Moderna definitely seems to have a bigger impact from folks I've spoken to.

. . . Hermes just delivered . . . 

By 'delivered' I presume you mean 'threw vaguely in the direction of the front door from the other side of the road'?

Or is that Yodel?

Von and I had the Astra-Z for jabs 1 & 2...Moderna for the 'booster'.....DID feel extra tired for the last couple of days. (Both of us)....Yawning like crazy...But didn't feel 'rough'.

Cheers - Phil.

Ditto here. No effect at all for 1 & 2, but the booster knocked me out for the rest of the day, and my arm hurt for three days afterwards.

Anyway, youngest son has just tested positive, so we're all off for a PCR test in a minute. Happy Xmas!

[Techno II]

All the best to you, Martyn...

Heard from my little (hah) niece, today...If she was a member of the forum....I think she'd be the most Northern in the UK mainland.

Somehow....she's managed to get covid.

Cheers - Phil.

Well after seemingly endless days of cloudy weather (around a month I think), we've had a lovely sunny and very warm day here in Bristol. In fact it felt more like Spring as the sun was so warm. An hour or so spent in the garden which was unexpected at this time of year but a real pleasure to be outside .

[Steve J]

Well, with all the chaos that Covid has caused these past two years, it is reassuring that England carry on the fine tradition of collapsing against Australia in the Ashes . Some things never change...

Perceptions are often misleading.  The record shows honours even.

There have been 72 Ashes series: Australia have won 34, England won 32 and six series have been drawn.

Looks like a root and branch overhaul is needed.

I've not heard of this Branch chap, but if he can bat, stick him on the first Quantas to Melbourne.

At least ten required.

Well the weather is very strange at present, with it being 15 centigrade here in Bristol at 7.00am today. It feels more like late Spring. Some plants that should have been killed by frost as still flowering!
