Tomorrow we will have to walk quite close to a parade of open shops on the way to have our jabs, hope they give us appropriate clearance or that the marshals will rope off our route to 'n' from the Health Centre.
Looks as if the marshals were not doing such a good job - no sign of Moby since he went for his jab :problem:
Not one to pass on rumours but I heard it was because he wouldn’t let go of the nurses hand :D

I popped into Town yesterday for a few little things, not much sign of the economic bounce back in Huddersfield though, only a few extra folk about, and lots of empty boarded up shops that will doubtless be closed for good.

Actually the Marshals did a cracking job this time, we were all routed whereby the going in jabbees couldn't mix with the shoppers or the coming out jabees like wot they did the last time. Better still was that we had no side effects at all with the second jab :clap: .

Strangest thing however ... we went into the building, it was our turn after the elderly gent in front of us but there was a bit of a hold up because the elderly lady in front of him was presenting a problem. The staff couldn't use their forehead guns to take her temperature in spite of changing the batteries and the units a couple of times, they worked perfectly well on everybody else. Assumed they stuck a thermometer up her b** after we had passed by ... but why didn't it work I wondered ?

Any ideas ?
Could be her forehead had got cold.

I had a similar thing this morning when visiting the dentist. My temp reading was low and it took three attempts before it gave a normal reading. I did jovially mention that it maybe because I had been waiting outside in the cold for several minutes :sarcasm:

Well what an exciting morning shopping. Yes I bravely fought the crowds to go into the pet shop for a bag of cat food.

Not the sort our picky bugger eats! Anyway I enjoyed the excitement.
