    I cant afford champagne any more, many years ago when we were working and ran out of firewood, I wandered around our garden and collected enough champagne corks for a blazing fire, but now times are hard.

      Just been listening to a government minister wittering on and totally confusing everyone including himself, telling us we might be able to meet someone outside by the end of March, and at the same time sport can start again.

      No mention of when I can get a haircut.

      I'm getting the feeling that if this vaccine hadn't come along they would be keeping this lockdown thing on permanently with no sign of an end.

            Great! There are some subtle pointers though, gently indicating that this business didn't go quite as well as planned. I'd love to see pictures of not so happy customers :roflol:

            This reminds me, my "shortish, choppy layered bob, with subtle white highlights and funky asymmetric twist" needs some kitchen scissoring soon. :dunno:

                Yeah it is here as well, and been continuing right through the so called lockdown.

                So bearing that in mind, it doesn't take a scientist to work out that that was not the problem:scratch: seeing as the number of cases have halved in the last 4 weeks around here.

                  I see that over 15 million people in the UK have now received their 1st jab.

                  The true value of a single nationalised health service is there for the world to see.

                    Had my first jab today, but I'm not sure, as I didn't even feel the needle go in.

                      Great news pete! I didn't feel the jab either, but then had a side effect about 24 hrs later, felt like it was a bad hangover, with a headache and feeling tired. Woke up the next day and was back to normal, so they injected me with something, might have been alcohol :)

                              Most I know who have had the jab, feel tired the day after. Mrs H felt a little flu like. Sore arm is common. But 24 hours later all are A1 :blue thumb:
