Back home from an overnight visits in my old town with wife’s family. Nice meal last night, and turns out the fella who owns the hotel/restaurant is an old mate I haven’t seen for 20 plus years. Small world. Now watching the ‘we’re doomed’ weather reports for tomorrow. Back t9 work and need to put appearance in the office really, even tho I could do everyth8mg from home..
Keyboard has been fixed, thought that would solve all my issues, turns out it’s my two index fingers that are f#cked
Girlfriend’s parents left yesterday after 4 days, and her brother and giant American fiancé arrived today. I hate people, so this is somewhat trying on the patience.
Me and the wife were walking in Huyton today - "I'm sorry for your loss," I said to the guy taking flowers into the Funeral Home. "Thanks mate," he replied, "But I'm just delivering for "Interflora" "I know," I said "Some kid has just stolen your delivery van."
I hate it when I'm singing along to a classic song on the radio and the original artist gets the words wrong
Once a year.......and always 3-4 weeks after my flu jab. And considering they jab you with flu it's not surprising.
They jab you with inactivated flu (unless you had the nasal spray which is a live attenuated vaccine). Quite a lot of evidence that the vaccine works less well in older people though........
Today, I was up at 5am and headed to Colchester for the day to see Mrs M's grandma... Roads were shitty all the way down and full of absolutely terrible drivers. Still, we made it in not too bad time considering and had a nice carvery mid afternoon. Back home relaxing with a coffee and the dogs now. Good day all round
That.......and having snotty nose children around every week. Edit: and I've just found out that my friends up north that we visited on Saturday were struck down on Sunday So it looks like I've picked it up from my godson.
I get the jab every year, and I'm usually fine afterwards. It has laid me low once after the jab though, but I never get colds these days, never had one in 10 years. I believe it works by fooling your body into believing you have flu, so that you produce antibodies to protect against actually getting the virus.
I've been told by the pharmacists that have given me the jab over the past few years that it takes 3-4 weeks to work. I seem to get man flu within that time frame, and then I'm fine. I might get the odd cold during the year but it's just that........a 24 hour virus/cold.
I get a letter from my GP when I'm due, which is usually late Sept / early Oct, before flu season. Maybe you are getting it a little late Tel.
