Apart from Champagne, of course 🥂

I’ll settle for “it doesn’t hurt all the time”. That would be nice.

Very slowly, and it keeps catching me out if I move wrong. The trouble is, I can’t work out what movement it thinks is wrong: it seems to be completely random.

Also a Chinese takeaway, with Sweet-and-Sour Pork Balls and Egg Fried Rice.

And a phone call from my son, who is determined that I must come to see them in Norway and meet Dear Delightful Dog #2. She is a Hungarian Vizsla and apparently very affectionate with the children.

Apologies - was offline most of the day!

So, eventually:

**HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!**

(What’s left of it, anyway\* - still a fair bit of drinking time, at least…)

\*Depending on who gets to the party, what’s left might be not very much…

That is more like it! 😁

ETA Hungarian Vizslas are beautiful and affectionate dogs, in my limited experience consisting of meeting them on walkies. Otb, I am.

Well that went well, didn’t it? Not.

Still, I’m here now, if only because I was boosted yesterday with bivalent Moderna and now feel pretty much too unwell to move, let alone do anything useful. So I get to spend the day on my arse. Every cloud, an’ all that.

Hope the rest of you are all well etc.

Oh TFM

😷 Hugs

I have had Pfizer for all my injections so far, as I was concerned about Moderna. I hope to have Pfizer again.

Medicinal Gin? 🍸

Perfect,thanks. I have decided to go back to bed so I’ll take it with me if that’s OK.

Stick to that plan, is my advice. I was hoping for Moderna because of the bivalency thing but this really is not nice.

Believe me, the chances are that it is lot less not-nice than the disease itself… Truly. For one thing it won’t go on for a fortnight and is unlikely to leave you with long-term effects. (This is said slightly bitterly.)
