Corona Virus: How Are We Doing?

[PK99]

D2 is in Vancouver.

Partner has just had a positive test result.

D2 is feeling grotty.

EDIT
Now tested positive too.

Role reversal from a year ago when MrsPK & I were both down with the bug.

Had my first dose of vaccine on Saturday. I'm the last adult in my immediate circle of family and friends to get it. Took ages to actually get seen - I think everybody eligible in the area had tried to book the same early time slot.

Effects weren't too bad and didn't stop me from mowing lawns and helping to refelt a shed on Sunday.

Had mine chopped third day of opening up by the local east european folk. A massive relief, even if I have felt somewhat cold on top since. Am still aclimatising.

anyone taken advantage of the free asymptomatic self-test things?
Keep meaning to pop down to the local Boots which I think has them.

What's the matter with you lot? I must have had at least 20 haircuts over the past year.
The lockdown has made no difference, just as it hasn't made much difference to most other things I do, having a beer inside my local 'spoons excepted.

Nope, what's the point, got my first jab, feel fit as a fiddle and not going near anyone. MrsF has to take two a week if she want's to see her mum in person (car home), and daughter one a week in college.

Unless you cut your own (like I do) then you couldn't get a cut legally at a barbers/hair dresser recently. The shaver on 12/18mm does me fine.

i need to in preparation for seeing my mum sometime soon - not in a care home. If anyone has a good link on the recommended way to test/how to use the results/how often to repeat etc I would be interested.

Can you just not get them from the pharmacy/docs. My BIL was just picking up a prescription, and got a test kit shoved in his face - he's been going no-where !

My wife and I have been self testing at the same time as the children. Picked the tests up from the local test centre.
