All going up on Thursday for 10 days :okay:

A small list of current stuff's at: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/davidclane/m.html?item=165738958154&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m3561.l2562 and they'll be added to these.

They're only of value/interest if you're into track racing / vintage bike parts / Under 16 & Junior bike racing I'm afraid. Although I've a stack of brake calipers and a few cranksets being added that were left over from upgrading to Ultegra/Dura-Ace. Oh, and a few winter bike clothes in XS that son no. 2 has decided he doesn't need (I think he does, and if he freezes that's his own daft fault :whistle: ).

Before Covid (for about ten years) I did not have the flu jab because I felt so rough for a few days afterwards. Now with Covid, it is not worth the risk of getting Covid and/or flu. The hospitals are struggling to cope as it is.

I feel very yucky, tired, achey with a foggy brain. Admittedly nothing like what I would be feeling if I had Covid. Has anyone else on this thread had similar reactions. I know there are many threads on a similar topic, but I do not want to wade through them.

The medic who attended to my mum in A&E last night said that he hadn't fully recovered from his flu jab after 8 days and ''all'' of his colleagues had suffered too. So it appears that this year's flu jab can have complications but, like him, getting the jab was a sensible precaution. In contrast, I don't seem to have really suffered from the jab - a little off-colour and a bit achey after a week.

Thank you for that. Good to know it's not just me.

I need to think about buying a new phone. My venerable Galaxy S2 won't run a lot of stuff now, and I'm lucky if the battery doesn't run out in less than a day - and that's just sitting on my desk doing not a lot.

Looking at something used / refurbished as I don't spend my life welded to a phone, but I can't be without one.

Initial poking around seems to point to my original budget of around £80 being way too stingy.
