The World's most uninspiring Advent-style Calendar.

With 52+ pages it covers a whole year and so far there's been no chocolate.

Freecycle.

I like it because it brings out the best in people - kindness, generosity, environmental awareness etc..

I also like it because some of the drivel that people emit there is simply hilarious.

Here are some howlers from around here:

 

I'm fairly sure that vellum isn't the same as VELUX.

 

Have you ever wondered why Snoop Dogg sits strangely in those Just Eat ads?

 

I can't help thinking that rubbing down with sandpaper might achieve a better finish.

 

Moseley?

Back in September one of my haematologists arranged for me to have what she called a "third COVID jab".

For some unfathomable reason, that "third" jab has gone on my GP record as having been a "booster" jab.

Now I'm reading NHS articles about having a "vaccine 3rd dose" (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/coronavirus-vaccine-3rd-dose/). That article stresses the fact that "The 3rd vaccine dose for people with a severely weakened immune system is different to a booster dose."

 

"

 

So now we're utterly confused. Have I been double-jabbed and boosted, or triple-jabbed? If I'm called for another shot do I need to be specific about which one (AZ, Pfizer, Moderna, other)? Bearing in mind that my antibody response to my current three shots has been zilch, is it really worth me having another?

Common-sense says "have another jab, it might work". Common-sense also says "don't waste a jab that someone else might need"

Anyway, here's a thing:

 

Immunity

"This plan may sound appealing to people who know a little about the immune system, but the drawbacks are clear to people who know a lot about the immune system and also to people who don't know anything about it."

Hospital food's not so bad.

p.s. I'm not back in hospital, it's an old pic from when I was in the BMTU on 1st May (transplant day).

Spring forward, Fall back.

Just a reminder that we turn the clocks back at the weekend.

I'll be turning ours back to 1940, to when the country had balls and teeth, rather than keeping it set to 2019 with the country at the mercy of overseas knobs with too much lip.
