No side effects from yesterday’s vaccine.

GP called to discuss my imminent demise. She said I’m “a fat bastard and need to get out more.” I need another blood test next week to confirm. She was very nice about it.

@david I get more feckin' messages from my GP surgery than my wife. This is compounded by the NHS application which duplicates these notifications.

- Flu jab
- Covid jab
- Well man ('fat bastard') check
- Blood Pressure check before prescription renewal could be approved.

I went for a BP reading and the practice nurse seemed genuinely worried I might keel over in front of her. 'Are you sure you're feeling alright ?'

I tend to ignore most of 'em. When my time's up, my time's up.

@andyc yeah, I just got an invitation for a covid jab from the NHS. But I had it five weeks ago along with the flu jab, which is on my NHS record, but covid jab isn’t.

I probably shared your sentiments about kicking the bucket until I had kids, but now I find the thought quite upsetting as I’d like to live long to see ​them grow up (I know, I should have started sooner), and I know they would miss me (well the big one would, the little one would probably forget all about me soon enough). Oh, don’t get me started again.

@odd it’s my big belly that’s the problem!

@davidmarsden Haha, me too!

@david Well yes. Now I have stay alive and shed 3 stone to give the bride's father speech.

@andyc you always could pre-record it?
