Just been half listening to the Jeremy Vine show while they discussed various testing and isolation scenarios with their resident doctor. Jings it sounded complicated ! I was only half listening because as with most things broadcast by the so called BBC they were only discussing it in terms of England.

It’s not too bad .
As we have been jabbed three three times all we have to do is do lateral flow tests for ten days and we can carry on as normal. If we weren’t vaccinated we would have to self isolate with our daughter.
Fingers crossed for the next couple of days

I got my Christmas reading in the post this morning, it's a book about how the author a 70 year old lady who did Le Jog last year in lock down. It's for a women's charity, so for £10 I thought it was worth it....

ColinJ...what is the tiny penis handsignal? Perhaps I have been receiving them for years and never knew it. Cold, foggy and still here . Perhaps I can ride me bike today.
It is the opposite of what anglers do when exaggerating the size of a fish caught by them! :laugh:

Instead of holding two hands further apart than the length of a fish, it is holding a thumb and index finger closer together than the length of even an embarrassingly small member! :okay:

The way that those guys drive makes it obvious that they are deeply insecure and need to assert their masculinity by driving aggressively, so the implication is that they are overcompensating for something... :whistle:

Does holding up your pinky finger not mean similar?

It’s really dreich and dismal here but forced myself out for a walk rather than sit around peering at screens any longer. Took a good couple of miles before I warmed up slightly. Mostly just dog walkers out.

Barnet,
Bits and pieces gathered from the shops. 2 pints of ale in the Mitre, Christmas cards delivered and got a haircut as well. Non of the pharmacies had any lateral flow tests, although I have ordered one on the website this afternoon. Not a bad day all in all.

Ah, finally, some stirrings... :whistle:

(No - not that kind - wash your minds out with soapy water!)

Post-jabs stirrings! My arms are getting a bit sore. Oh, and I feel cold despite it being 20 degrees in here and me having plenty of clothing on. Nothing too bad happening yet though.

I'm hoping that nothing much does happen, but if I do get very rough I need it to be over by Christmas Eve because I have guests Christmas Day/Boxing Day, unless we get dropped into lockdown suddenly before then.

I really hate it it when someone in a store tells me to have a blessed day. How dare they tell me what kind of day to have.
I said that because I was thinking what a blessed bike ride I had today. It is ok to tell myself what kind of day, though. Went from -6C to 39 C. No wind until after I got home. Very nice.
Be safe and well
