Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

[Imurg]

Don’t tell me you did the “little prick/ nice smile” gag ??

No, she recognised the name and said she'd already heard it....

To be honest, they could tell me that I had to drive to Lands End to get a jab and I would be straight the car and on my way.

A 60 mile drive sounds like a dream. Couple of hours away from the family on my own and in sole charge of the car radio. As much as I love them the thought of a little day trip without them is appealing.....

My drive to work and back is more than 60 miles. I like it, helps me get into the right frame of mind for work and to get work out of my system afterwards.

 

[oxymoron]

Makes me smile this , wont drive 60 miles for a potentially life saving jab , however to knock a little ball around a field in to a little hole , no
trouble there mate

On the wall at the Epsom vaccination centre;

Made me smile while I waited.

Got to be honest, I am getting increasingly depressed during this period of furlough. Wife still working, so just me at home all day with three cats for company. No motivation whatsoever....

I was furloughed last year, went back in July and was then furloughed again. Went back in November and was then furloughed again in December. Financially I'm okay, and the wife is still working full-time, so her salary has remained intact, so not as bad as a lot of others. But I need to be working.

Can't you indulge in a spot of fishing?

Just been surfing the net. Came across a good read ( Washington post ) re the vaccines. Bottom line, which one would you choose. The Oxford ( British ) one, astra Zeneca. Or the ( German) Pfizer one, There words, not mine. It was odd how some folk perceived the German one which was developed by a Turkish guy as the posh one. Whilst reading this I thought how odd it was that 6 months ago we were desperate for any. Yet here we are that in some instances there’s now a choice. Yet in some countries they are still waiting for any.
Comes on a day when I read that China is being accused of donating vaccines to countries in favour for trade. Seems to me the world is really getting back to normal.
