Jabbed

The story of my life summed up there.  A lack of brains.
Today however was a success.  I hobbled up the road to the local hospital, joined the queue well marshalled by efficient stewards, took my identity slip of paper, and soon was handing it over to be given the 'Jab' that all are seeking.  I think this is the one which links me to Microsoft or to Bill gates wallet or something, so I am now hoping for a generous response from Bill.  It was indeed well organised and friendly while I was there, though one marshall mentioned a struggle earlier when a man tried to jump the queue!  Working with the public is so gratifying!
Back home, having shopped on the way, I found I had done all required by just after ten in the morning.  I did not know what to do after that, it was something unusual.  
It is interesting the list of things that 'may' occur after the 'Jab' sounded much like the normal daily exoerience in this house.  How will I tell if I am suffering a reaction if I do not notice any difference?  It is all to confusing to me, people complain of 'Long Covid,' and I tell them I have had that since 1987 and they just look blankly at me.  I wonder why?  I may never know if I suffer a reaction.
Football was dire, dinner was excellent, and there is nothing left to do but write a dozen emails.  However, that is beyond my tired mind so I will find some excuse to avoid this.

If you start to come across like a Dalek in future posts I shall know to avoid this jab...
Which one was it? The Gates special, the home grown version or the Russian rocket?

Its good to be jabbed. We had no after effects either and the centre was very efficient, the Forces presence helped a lot towards this as they made sure there was no queuing by people who wanted to get in before their appointment time. I went to a centre and had the Pzier vaccine but my wife went to the local surgery and had the Astra zenica. We have just been told that they are rolling out the 2nd jab earlier than the appointments given.

Fly, 'Astra' was the name. I think it refers to enlisting in the RAF. The Russian one is not available, the bribe has not arrived.

Dave, We await our next appointment, as and when? Well organised and easy.

It's a repellent picture of the chicken legs, one imagines the factory has managed to find a job lot of mutant ones which makes it even more unpleasant. As I was scrolling down, reading your post, however, I could only see the top of the picture, and the thought flashed into my mind, "Surely he has not given us a picture of his Covid Tongue"? (a new symptom of the disease, apparently). Of course I immediately realised my mistake, but not before I had choked on my coffee.....

Jenny, Repellent indeed! Sorry about the choking!
